Politically-based climate activists change the name of their cause First, "their" cause was called global warming, then climate change, and now in May 2014, it's called "climate disruption." I give them points for creativity. The problem is, we like air conditioning. We like receiving goods that are shipped quickly by planes and semi trucks. And we like to access the Internet with multiple devices, which require energy to manufacture, ship, and recharge. more. Plus, the Internet requires a lot of equipment, such as servers, routers, cable, warehouses, etc. We like plastic. It's used widely, and most of it is made from petroleum. We like food that is produced all over the world and transported by fossil fuels. We like coffee. The solution may be a lifestyle that's closer to the earth than how the Amish live. The solution may be giving up nearly everything we enjoy today. These ideas, however, don't get promoted because we enjoy our standard of living, and we continually try to improve it. #humor - #activism - #climate - #environment - #politics - #moronism - #blog_jr
