Global Swarming is More Like It

So there's a lot of talk about Global Warming these days. Like a lot of folks, or perhaps a bit more due to my nature of loving . . . nature and trying to be as responsible a lad as posssible, I've been paying attention to what's going on.

I'd like to think that I'm a bit ahead of the curve, actually. How, you ask?
Well, as a 12-year vegan with no kids and no car, who takes 3 minute showers (not daily), turns the lights off like a good boy, only heats the room he's in, etc. etc., I'm pretty comfortable with my conscious effort to not make more of a mess than I have to while I'm here.

And, of course, I've done my share of reading and research.
Funny thing is, the older I get, the less I believe what I read. By that, I probably mean that I trust what I read less and less every day. And believe me, I don't go looking for it very much. I don't watch (or own) a television or a radio and I don't read full-on newspapers because, honestly, there is simply too much information that does not pertain to 'my' world or that needs to be in my brain.
Why read about things that I have no intention of thinking or doing anything about? Seriously

So, global warming has become just another thing to pass the time with me. I'm really kind of apathetic towards it all.
The more I do read and see, the more I believe that there truly is more on an economic and political agenda driving this and any other 'major' issue. The environment will lag behind for a good while longer, I'm afraid.
And yet, I'm more optimistic than ever that the environment will outlast us all, not that she even cares.

With nearly 8 billion of us infesting the planet, cooking and creating heat, I still don't think it's all that likely that we are cooking the planet and I'll tell you why.
Again, I really don't care if the reason that the globe is warming is due to man-made causes or not. There are plenty of other man-made issues to clamor about: war, violence, abuse, rape, general inequalities, religion and politics of getting along being a few minor ones.
The main reason I don't care anymore is that I'm starting to not want to be part of the collective ego that IS humanity for thinking that every little (and big) thing that we do is the be-all and end-all of everything.
Newsflash, people - the earth was here before us and will be here after.
In 100 years, hardly any of you living now will be here.
So, I say this - relax, but be responsible about the things you do and the life you live. But live your life, for life's sake.

Human's didn't invent the earth or anything like it. We're just riding along and experiencing our lives, individually and together.
In the scale of the universe, we're a speck of dust and yet to one another we can be everything.
But I don't think I actually believe that we are the cause of every effect of what we see and have only been measuring for 100 short years. Check some 'real' stats and you'll see mini warm and cool periods worse than this just in the last 1000 years.

So what if it does warm up? Move north! Move away from the coast.
Humans aren't really that stupid as to not adapt. We have before and we will again.
And, if not, then we don't really deserve to live on this lovely planet and that's just the way it goes.

Enjoy yourself but be fair, with yourself, with others and with our planet.

Thanks
