IT’S SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER!!!!!
(Well, not technically, but you know what I mean)
Time for another “how am I supposed to care about my present or future when the world is on fire and our generation probably won’t make it to retirement on a survivable planet?”
What’s it going to be this summer, eh?
Ridiculous wildfires?
Crop-destroying, river-draining droughts?
Crippling, month-long heatwaves?
ALL OF THE ABOVE????? ?? ???

Are You Angry? I’m Angry.
I’m angry about climate change.
I’m angry about the fact that our futures are probably going to be mired in at least some degree of misery (if not destroyed entirely) due to intense heat/intense weather/water shortages/food shortages/any other number of issues brought on by climate change.
I’m angry over how many people don’t think that humans have contributed at least a little bit to the current climate trends. That is so infuriating.
I’m angry over how many people are just gleefully pooping out kids without realizing that the future they’re leaving these kids to deal with will not be a fun one. I’m looking at you, fellow Millennials. I thought we were smarter than that.
I’m angry that summers have lost their magic and are now just three-/four-months stretches of record-breaking temperatures and drought.
I’m just angry.
Are you?
Remember last year?
This time last year we were in the throes of that horrible heat dome. Remember that? Remember how freaking terrible that was? Thankfully this summer (at least so far) has been much, much milder and way rainier. Hopefully that will help with the fire season later on in July and August. Hopefully BC won’t be one big blaze. Hopefully things will be relatively cool even in the later months of the season.
But I’m sure summers like last year will become more and more common…and that’s terrifying.
(Fear of a) HEAT WAAAAAAAAVE
So is anyone else, like, terrified of summers now?
Summer is typically my favorite time of year – long hours of daylight, good running weather, nice and warm, etc. But after last year’s heat dome and how absolutely horrible that week or so was, there have been a few moments where I’ve been in almost a legit panic about summer happening again.
I think part of it is just a general fear of the future and the thought that this will probably be the norm sooner rather than later. Like…will last year be one of the cooler summers in the next twenty years?
That’s horrifying.
Not to mention all the stuff with the water shortages in the southwest. That’s also extremely worrying.
I hate everything. I hate that our future will just be getting worse and worse and at this point there’s probably nothing we can do about it.

Remember that bomb blast simulation I mentioned a few days ago? They have an interactive “how will climate change affect you?” map as well.
Scary stuff.
Mother Teresa called…she HATES you!
Naw, she doesn’t. The Pope does.
Anyway, why all of a sudden is everybody obsessed with penguins? Freakin’ everybody. Yes, they’re cute…yes, they’re loud…yes, they crap on everything…
But I think, in order to be obsessed with penguins, at least some people should be obsessed with, I dunno…global warming?! Because if global warming continues to accelerate, the penguins will be all gone. Think about that.
Okay, I’m done. Rant over.
