GLOBAL WORMING
In yesterday's blog, I wrote of a time in 1964. Today, my focus is on 2013. Or thereabouts. At least that's when I figure global warming will have gotten a good grip on planet earth and California will have drifted into the ocean. Making Arizona a coastal state. Thus, today's picture of a Scottsdale boy enjoying a perfect day at the beach.
Do I really believe in global warming? I'm not sure. I know there are cycles and we're certainly in one now. I know the ozone layer is depleting. Or it was. I know fossil fuels hurt the atmosphere. And I know people don't care. Certainly not enough to ride mass transit or even fund monies for light rail in some communities.
I know they don't like carpooling or small cars. I know they complain about gasoline prices, yet they don't want to go to war over in the Mideast. And they don't want to drill in the USA. Even in the small, small area of the Arctic where there's lots of oil and little wildlife. And they certainly don't want George W. and Cheney's cronies to make a good profit from taking all the risks and expenses it takes to find oil.
We're a nation that loves oil but hates how we have to get it. We hate the byproducts but won't do anything to curb the usage. We talk of alternative forms of energy, but offer nothing viable or feasible as an alternative. We are a people whose minds are in one age and whose attitudes are in another.
We trust algore (former veep in case you've forgotten who claimed to have invented the internet). It seems he has a new film out about global warming. George W. is supposedly opposed to the notion of global warming. Yet his administration has spent or allocated $20 billion dollars to global warming. Much more than clinton/gore who are seen as the environmentalists.
In the day, when one of our animals started acting out of sorts, differently, we took him to the vet for a good worming. I'm not sure about global warming, but as the title of my blog suggests, there are many who seem to warrant a good global worming to get straightened out. I'd suggest we start with al.
