Good Thing Global Warming Is A Myth

Get ready, Alaska...

So another "historic storm" is bearing down on people.  This time in Alaska.  I'm sure former half-term governor Sarah Palin would tell us this will separate the sourdoughs from the jackdaws or something, but the simple truth is this: We are screwed.

We are screwed because a warmer atmosphere means more and more violent storms.  We are screwed because we all demand a perfect place to live, so we build in areas that are frequently flooded/tornadoed/hurricaned.  We are screwed because it's only a matter of time before the little earthquakes we are seeing from fracking will lead to a major earthquake.

We are screwed because any sensible person can see that our craven addiction to fossil fuels is literally starting to kill people.  But because a handful of wealthy oil barons can buy off an entire political party, nothing - and I mean literally nothing - will get done about the most pressing issue humanity is facing over the next 200 years.

Well played.
