The Coming Storm.

No doubt the climate is changing, in fact, Global Warming may be happening at much faster rate than first predicted. It is unnecessary to cite specific sources, there are just too many. Everyone from the Pentagon to the National Weather Service to those people with divining rods has unanimously agreed that we are headed for catastrophic climate change.
So what do I see, well, I have done my homework on this, including reading up on the US government plans to send up giant mirrors (oh Christ! Do these people EVER watch ‘Futurama’?) And the insane idea to fill our atmosphere with a reflective silica dust, are you kidding? What happens if there are multiple major eruptions after the dust has been sprayed in the atmosphere? Has anyone thought of that?
So, what is going to happen? Well, if you own a house on or near the beach you had better make certain all of your furniture is made of rubber. And, if this winter was any indication of things to come, we, meaning the Big Blue Marble, the Global Village, are screwed!
How screwed are we? Even if we stopped all manufacturing, which is not going to happen, and stopped driving, and I know my big butt neighbor is not going to walk to work, we will still not end the catastrophic climate change. Why? Because of the Earth’s cyclic weather patterns. An Ice Age here, a warm up there, it is a way of controlling the population of critters on this berg. And the sooner that everyone comes in line with the fact that the earth is a living entity (I don’t mean the hippy bullsh** either!) we will all be better off.
Sorry folks, but this planet is overpopulated by at least 3 billion and cataclysmic weather is nature’s way of eliminating this issue. Is it sad? Yes, it is especially sad given the human race’s ability to accomplish great things. Had we started even ten years ago building planet style ships we would likely be a third of the way there and would be able to travel out of here in large numbers. Imagine, hundreds of thousands, if not millions drifting on mammoth ships in the depths of space exploring the galaxy. Think it is science fiction? Well, the nuclear sub was when Jules Vern wrote about it and we know how that turned out.
Humanity will make it. This is not a prediction, this is just optimism, and one of the few things you will ever see me be optimistic about. So, what is my prediction for the global climate? Warm days followed by some really, really cold decades. Better, bundle up!
