Thus The Guardian today. “Rate of summer ice melt smashes two previous record lows and prompts warnings of accelerated climate change,” explains the newspaper. Hey, that sounds like pretty serious stuff! What dominates the news, though? Well, American, British, and German embassies and other institutions in the Muslim world are under attack. Many of them are burning, as a matter of fact. And all this on account of some silly movie, which is deemed blasphemous by the faithful. In other words, we are facing accelerated political change. How does this compare to accelerated climate change? Without beating around the bush, the latter is chickenshit. Priorities are perfectly clear, too. I only wonder why the newspapers are still reporting on climate change, accelerated or not. Forget about silly warnings, for crying out loud. No-one cares about such pointless scaremongering any longer. Focus on the here and now, for we are only human.
