Oh Justin Weisbrod, Staff Writer, you have provided me another good round of The Daily Aztec cracks me up because they are hilarious. Today's feature "You're gonna die any way, the earth is going to self destruct itself and hey, invite me to your party."
Before you torch my house (or invite me to a party) for being an Earth-loving hippie, let me make this point: We polluted the crap out of the land, air and sea on planet Earth. But, Earth also pollutes itself. Gasses and elements from volcanoes, fires, storms, meteors and earthquakes all naturally contribute to Earth's warming and cooling processes. The only thing we did was speed it all up.As such, global warming is not a problem we can fix. Earth's history is riddled with warm times as well as cold times. And let's remember Earth began from nothing and will end with nothing. We are a grain of sand on a never-ending beach and fully exposed to all the elements. Global warming will not end the existence of planet Earth. The Earth will end itself. Or the sun will burn out. Or a comet will smash into Manhattan. (Insert Michael Bay movie title here.)
Weisbrod cares, but doesn't care, thinks there is nothing you should do, but there are some things you can do, but it won't make a difference and hey, did he mention you can invite him (and his lovely imminent death speak) to parties?
Happy Friday!
The National News Roundup begins. Seems that they are all about the peril amidst the disaster. Those are the favorite words, peril, disaster. Oh, and "what went wrong" or "what could you have done better" or "who's fault is this?!" (Granted, they usually end by saying something like "it's nobody's fault, blame the wind. Oooooo Global Warming!).
First up, last nights MSNBC headline article! There's no end in sight! Worst disaster ever! WE-CAN'T-STOP-IT! (Uh, sheesh, what a way to tuck me in to bed.)
Unless the shrieking Santa Ana winds subside, and that’s not expected for at least another day, fire crews say they can do little more than try to wait it out and react — tamping out spot fires and chasing ribbons of airborne embers to keep new fires from flaring.
"This is just a terrible disaster; it's going to be one of the worst ever," he said, adding the total destruction would easily be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Santa Ana winds surpassed 100mph so usual tactics of "choking" the fire by surrounding on both sides wasn't working. They expect it to reach the coast before the end.
