Your mother called and said to stop being so overly dramatic, it’s just a paper cut
Big Smile, No Teeth: Did you realise? We’re living in a disaster movie
The future is now. Unfortunately, when I say that I mean the disaster of a future we all feared would show up when we spoke about the need to curb climate change.
Cape Town, South Africa, was fast headed to Day Zero, the day the water would run out, which was staved off only by the residents learning to use substantially less water; now, winter rains are refilling their depleted reservoirs.
The summer’s global heatwave has seen hundreds of people killed by heatstroke across the globe as countries see new temperature records, with Japan hitting 41.1°C, a city in Algeria, Ouargla, recording the highest temperature in Africa at 51.3°C, and a town called Quriyat in Oman logging the hottest ever night in recorded history at 42.6°C.
This is not normal weather. (proof?)
Having a heatwave somewhere in the world isn’t surprising. Having a heatwave everywhere in the world at the same time is the start of a disaster movie starring Dwayne “The Rock†Johnson. This is not going anywhere good.
Well, that movie didn’t do so well, and Climatruthers do not want to change their behavior to match their talking points. Anyway, the author continues his tale of dooooom, ending with
And so too must the rest of the world. We can make changes to help decrease our carbon footprint. We have to. Just like the residents of Cape Town, all of us have to do what it takes to avoid global disaster.
Humans have a tendency to wait until the last moment to jump out of the way of disaster even though we can see it coming from a long way off.
We must demand decisive action on climate change from our governments because the third act of that disaster movie is coming up and we want a happy ending.
Funny, writer Jason Godfrey forgets to offer solutions. Nor did Andy Martin with his “Climate change has doomed us – now what on earth should we do about it?” essay. Just lots of gloom and doom and whining and stuff. I had a boss way back in the day who said “if you’re not offering solutions, you’re just whining.” You know what my solution would be: Warmists should walk the talk and make their lives carbon neutral.
