Funny Lots
Human-beings are a funny lot. Unlike other creatures, which are very aware of their surroundings and have an acute understanding of their environment, human-beings, for the most part seem to think that they can chuck any old crap into the environment / their bodies, and everything should work out perfectly OK. In other words, while so-called ‘stupid’ animals run about being odd and dumb, us humans, o-so-much more intelligent, do really clever things—if rockets aren’t clever I don’t know what is—and continue to ignore our enormous and ongoing mistakes. Shocking!
It really is sad. You’d think that by bashing someone around the head with a stick they would understand that they’d just been bashed about the head with a stick, but as it turns out this is not true with Global Warming: it’s the equivalent of bashing someone around the head with a wet fish and them saying, “what happened?!” And you’d have to say, while holding your (deceased, even before the impact), “I slapped you round the head with a fish–isn’t that obvious?”
And that’s the thing. Our ‘intelligence’ has rendered obvious things mysterious. No matter what happens, someone with stick their hand up and say it’s not true. It’s purely a statistical thing. But somehow I can’t imagine fish doing the same. When one turns they all turn. A load of them don’t refuse to and ask why, do they? No, and that’s because of that dreaded thing called the conscience.
