climate change # 2
Lobsters are a very interesting species. They reflect much of our attitudes as human beings when it comes to dealing with environmental problems. Lobsters would gladly boil in hot water if the temperature is increased gradually. They do not take alarm for they do not know at which point the heat becomes dangerous. It is that same gradual yet exaggerated and abnormally accelerated accumulation of greenhouse gases that we are in danger of extinction by ignoring the problem until it is too late.
What do we do about the problem of climate change depends largely on how much we are willing to revise our thoughts on such an important issue. My head hurts to talk of climate change as if it were ambiguous and esotoric to warrant further explanation. The horrors of its consequences should automatically register in our consciousness the moment we speak of climate change. I don’t know, but I guess for most people the exact opposite happens. Instead of stark images of future doom, we play mental clips of the things we like to spend our time, effort and money on while planetary temperatures reach fever pitch.
Let’s let the world spin and forget about the brouhaha of global warming shall we? Sweeny Todd needs our full attention.
Unbelievable.
