An Incovenient Truth
I saw the Al Gore global warming movie a few days ago. It’s very good, actually much more engrossing than most movies out there. And it’s all sadly true.
I hope that this movie can make a difference, because it is fucking hot outside. I am roasting without any AC. At least it’s not humid here, but still, it’s just brutal out there. And it’s just gonna keep on getting worse. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in days, ’cause of the heat. Last night, I woke up like every 15 minutes. My kitties are just melted puddles of laziness sprawled on the floor. It’s too damn hot to think.
I had a vision of the future, twenty years from now. The young people, gathering all of us older folk up in labor camps. Mass trials, where we are found guilty of killing the planet. The wealthy, the oilmen, the politicians - they are crucified, and allowed to die of thirst in the scorching sun. Lucky bastards. They thought their money would protect them, but their money was worthless when the economy tanked, and so they and their children are the first to get nailed up. Lucky bastards, I say again. The rest of us old folk - we are forced to work, and live lives without computers or cars or electricity, which are things the young keep and ration carefully among themselves, while we old folk work nonstop to repay our “carbon debts”. We are fed Soylent Green of course, but it’s so hot we don’t have much appetite anyways.
