The Real Threat to Society

Why is everyone so concerned with this man, Mr. Kim? Every newspaper I opened today showed his face, every conversation I eavesdropped on spoke of him. Here is a brief sample of one of the intelligent conversations I overheard:

"What does he think he is doing," a man with a neon green tanktop slung over his shoulder said. His baseball cap wearing friend finished his bite of corndog and insightfully replied, "Look at his stupid glasses, he probably doesn't even know what he is doing."

What an intelligent comment, if I were to take this same logical approach to the situation I would guess that the corndog eating man was a gluttonous moron. Because anyone who would consume such unnatural fats, oils, and pork byproducts has to not only be a moron, I only eat all-natural non-biogenetically engineered foods, and he must always eat such foods. Not only that, but to also lack the motor skills to control a fork, so all food must be obtained by way of a stick, like cavemen, is a sure sign of idiocy. Therefore this man, which I know as much about as he of Mr. Kim, must be a moronic glutton.

Mr. Kim runs a country, likes trendy glasses, and has an affinity for missile testing. So what? Leave him be. If for no other reason than there are much greater concerns to be bothered with; Global warming.

As I write this in the year 2006, the global temperature has increased .7* F from the mean. However, with increasing greenhouse gases, all scientists expect this rate of deviation from the temperature mean to grow exponentially. So much so, that by the yeat 2106 the rate will have increased to 2.2* F above the mean. Which means that on July 7th, 2106; rather than enjoying a leisurely bi-cycle ride through the wonderous leafage that trees provide at the comfortable temperature of 83*, we will be scavengering for food and water in order to survive until tomorrow at a sweltering 85*. What will happen to the trees? They surely will not survive in a climate like this, a climate which will make the earth so harsh and scorched that only tar and cement parking lots will be capable survival and to see a tree you will have to visit a tree museum.

You may be thinking to yourself, I'm a greedy businessman. All I care about is whether I have money in the bank. The environment is for losers. Well sir, if you ever took the time to study these things you would know that it is not only the environment that will be effected by global warming, Everyones health will be in great jeopardy as well. Studies have shown that the warmer the climate the more infectious diseases become and the more dangerous they become. This means that every disease from AIDS and cancer to MS and the common cold will become alarmingly infectious and deadly enough to kills millions a day. So, you'll be the only loser when your money is useless because you're dead from global warming induced Lupus.

Do you people finally see why what this man, a half a world a way, does is so insignificant? For it matters not what actions he takes or what actions the asinine USA takes, because if people do not start listening to me and realizing the type of catastrophe we face, in only a few short centuries, then all is lost anyway.

The future is bleak and shows little hope, unless society as a whole can increase their collective IQ and come to terms with this gigantic inconvenient truth.
