I'd like to see what Bill Hicks would have to say about 9-11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, the war in Libya, the Nobel Peace Prize, the TSA, man made global warming, and the raid on Osama's hideout.
I can hear Bill Hicks now, standing tall, side by side with the corporate polluters while lambasting the scientists for their peer reviewed studies of doom and gloom. Yeah, Hicks would see the corporate polluters as friends of the people while the scientists only want to tax the shit out of the citizenry with imaginary demons.
Okay, I've removed my tongue, it was firmly planted into my cheek. Seriously though, if Hicks had a blog, I'd leave him a comment and ask him to find out about ocean acidification, ground-level ozone, and carbon sinks for starters.
Or maybe I'd just ask him to go out into his backyard and look at the trees and vegetation and give his diagnosis. Or he could go to the grocery store and look at the produce department to see the change in quality.
I would also ask him to get out his calculator and add up all the money the nation is spending to deal with natural catastrophes which are increasing due to climate change. But if he denied the science we'd be back at square one. Oh the catch 22 of killing the Earth to save the Earth.
On the other hand how will this planet ever properly cleanse itself without a sizable wipe out of human life. Let it burn might be the best way to thin our heard. After all if you're worrying about taxes instead of the condition of Mother Earth, then our outcome seems like a done deal.
When humanity ignores the scientific consensus, it's a matter of mass suicide. Thanks for your assistance in the euthanasia. The loss of life has already started and will spread globally from the lower economic rung to the highest. The situation should be addressed holistically, but science is mucked on many levels. From bloggers to corporate CEO's.
As the extreme weather increases the culture will invoke God and the book of Revelation or some other story that sells better than science.
I'm kind of leaning toward the, 'it's already too late', but innate survival keeps hope alive.

ReplyDelete"a sizable wipe out of human life" should start with themselves and no one should stand in their way.
