it’s blog action day: let’s tawk climate change
climate change. be it man made with our excessive use of fossil fuels, or be it natural with the onset of an ice age, there is no denying its existance. perhaps you’re like my friend jim, who screams, bitches and moans that the “dems” have struck fear into the hearts of millions of school children on behalf of a completely false truth. or perhaps you’re a self-hating human who curses his fellow men in their greedy, stupid, oil rich ways. 
i say, WHO CARES? the fact is that climate change is real — so who cares what precisely caused it? one thing is for sure, and that is that curbing our CO2 emmissions alleviates the impact of global warming somewhat. can we all agree that’s a good thing?
my BIGGEST (oh i have so many it’s hard to choose one) pet peeve is people who sit in their cars with the engines on. going nowhere. eating a bagel. sipping tea. taking a snooze. chillin to the sterio. granted, sometimes it’s hot as hell or as cold as hell froze over and you almost need to idle the car. but most of the time it is not necessary. car idling is a huge contributor to global warming. haven’t you seen the videos of starving polar bears fighting each other to the death just to eat the carcass? try googling it, and then turn off your car. pretty please with strawberry-flavored vodka on top?

Precisely. The climate is changing, and the most likely culprit is the industrialization of man. We don’t need a full, detailed model of the Earth and its atmosphere to know that pumping gases WE WOULDN’T BREATHE OURSELVES is a bad idea and should be minimized.
