no global warming

... or so says good ole roy.

now, believe me, there has been much more exciting news than this since i last posted. but i just happened to be reading this article and had to post it.

you see, i've never been a big global warming type of person. i mean, i had no doubt that it was real, but i wasn't really concerned about it and i had that selfish perspective of "well, it won't fuck me up in my lifetime."

that is, until the heat wave. i don't know if i've felt anything like it. i would say without a doubt i have been in the hottest and the most humid part of the country in summer, and this heat wave was more intense than any of them.

so now that i am personally connected to this, global warming is taking a slightly bigger place in my mind. issues like poverty, racism, conflicts in africa and the middle east, ...... [all the topics that go there that i'm not thinking of at the moment], and even finding and getting a job take precedent over global warming. but at least gw is in my top, say, 100 concerns (maybe), instead of not really being an issue for me.
