The Up Side To Global Warming

People laugh about it but it's true. While the rest of North America digs itself out from a recent ice/snow storm that has killed 30 so far and left large parts of cities without power we enjoyed a snowfall that produced 4 inches of wet snow that will be gone if not in the next day or two then certainly with the rain on the weekend.
After years of winter that lasted from October to April I can honestly say I'm not at all perturbed by the change in the climate. Summer is warmer, starts earlier and lasts longer. Winter is shorter and produces less and less snow every year. What's not to like?

Don't misunderstand me. I'm concerned about global warming. I'm more than a little concerned about the fact that a large chunk of the arctic recently broke away and started drifting and melting into the ocean. I'm upset about the continuing dependence on fossil fuels and the fact that no real progress or efforts have been made toward finding a new source of power. I'm very bothered by the fact that the corporate community seems determined to undermine all efforts to make any kind of change in the world.
But I had an epiphany recently and because of it I decided to give up worrying about the planet and let it take care of itself.

It doesn't matter how many petitions I sign or politicians I influence or marches I take part in or pop cans I recycle. The tiny piece-meal efforts made by green groups and various individuals will make no difference in the long run. Not because the efforts are worthless, but because the conglom that is the global corporate society and it's government butt-buddies are using all their money, machinery and influence to undermine all of us.

So I stopped worrying about it. I stopped watching the news and in general, I stopped caring. The world is on a path to destruction. When it happens their will be global catastrophes like pandemics and mass deaths and extreme earth changes like floods and earthquakes.
Sure, it's going to kill a lot of people. Maybe even all of us. But that's when I pause and realize that it will take all those "more money than brains" corporate/politico jackasses with it. And if that isn't enough to make a pessimist smile, what is?

Yes, the earth is changing. It's more than likely we could do something about it if the right people changed a few things. But it won't happen. The desire for power and money are greater than all other motivators. They'd rather spend the next 20 years suing people for daring to suggest global warming is a reality rather than doing something to stop it.
Only when the reaper is at the door will they finally look around and realize the opportunity to help themselves has long passed.

I've decided not to spend the next few years worrying about climate change. Instead I intend to enjoy it. When the waves of the rising ocean cover my home, I'll just surf the apocalypse into the sunset.
