Today has been Blog Action Day…and the cause of “celebration” this year is climate change. I put celebration in quotation marks because it’s not really a celebration; it’s a travesty. The changing climate is happening in far too an “uneventual” manner. The reason it’s being talked about is due to the fact it’s eventful, when it should be eventual.
I first became aware of the situation after watching An Inconvenient Truth, which I came across by accident when researching the ridiculously short hours of my local 7-11. It took me a good 3-4 viewings (you have to admit watching a documentary is as close to reading as you can get) before realizing that weather patterns are changing more rapidly than they should. What I didn’t agree with is that it’s mankind’s fault. Frankly, its not all of our fault – just the really productive people’s.
This is just another of some resons to adopt Eventualism and learn to EffTD. Let’s slow down. Now I’m no astrologist, but I figure if we don’t move as fast we can slow down the process. It’s a foolproof method in that I will make every effort to prove it. Starting with this post, I have lowered my typing speed from 40 to 4 words per minute. Typing this last paragraph took twenty minutes as a result.
The best part of this is that the really productive people are now the ones working hard to fix the climate change problem. I mean, no one does more than a former Vice President other than the current one, right? The only thing I’m going against as far as everything I’d normally suggest is to go to Blog Action Day’s site, as opposed to Blog Inaction Day’s site – which, accordingly, has never been created.
