Thanks to the New York Times I now understand who the real enemies are. Thank God it is not me. Or at least it won’t be for another 7 years. And you younger folk, well, you’re off the hook too.
In an article by Paula Span, NYT, the title reads -- Older People Are Contributing to Climate Change, and Suffering From It. The point is Older People use more energy thereby causing tornadoes, hurricanes, and early
Spring. Why? Because some old cranks have to take certain medications which in
turn reduces the body’s ability to regulate its temperature? The consequences?
They turn up the heat or air conditioner and so warping the universe of its
natural, self-regulating state. It’s a vicious circle. So what to do?
One suggestion in the article is to get those cantankerous,
old farts in line. Have them join clubs like “Rise”, Retirees in Service to the
Environment. That way we can kill them off faster by convincing them to turn
off their air conditioners and so die from heat stroke. And not only that, we can make them feel good about contributing to a safe, clean planet for future generations of
Younger People.
So remember -- check your Palm Life Clock, and Watch out for
the Sandman!
