The sun in shining. There is a brisk breeze in the air. It’s a perfect day to step out for a walk. Toss on a light jacket and and some shades and you’re ready to go. Just another beautiful day in January.
So what are we doing here? Let’s live it up baby! It’s the golden age of global warming. Let’s enjoy it while we have it. It would be a real waste to just let these years fly by without taking advantage.
Yes, there will be people who will have to deal with the insurmountable repercussions of the irreversible damage we’ve done to our planet. But does that mean I shouldn’t be slipping into my cutest swim trucks and taking a quick dip on a pleasant day in February?
Honestly, it would be selfish to not soak up the sun while the climate sits in this sweet spot. More selfish than what we’ve done to the Earth? No maybe not. But still pretty rude. I mean how would we explain that to our kids? Imagine how awkward that conversation would be. Sorry kids, we ruined the ozone layer and didn’t even have fun in the sun while we had the chance. That’s a spit in the face.
This is a blessing. We can’t be the generation that complains that kids don’t go outside enough while celebrating the so called golden age of television. That’s unproductive. Stop saying that nonsense. Let’s promote physical activity. Let’s get the kids outside and running around. It’s the Golden Age Of Global Warming and it’s time to lower the obesity rate in America. I plan to get Michelle Obama behind this cause ASAP.
Global warming is an extremely serious problem. Just not for me. And probably not for my kids either. You want me to care about people that are more than two generations away? Think again. And if you think that’s insensitive then just go ask a baby boomer how they feel about millennials.
I’m not the bad guy here. I didn’t make this hot mess. I’m just enjoying it while it’s still hot.
