Tonight, seated comfortably in my recliner, I watched Current T.V. do a story on global warming in Greenland. A country not used to much vegitation. A country so frigidly cold that they have been supported by Demark, they're parent country, since their existance.
However, change may be in the air for the folks up north. Or in the ozone. Apparently we can't deny it anymore. Fields are green and ice is melting. This once frozen island in the north is becoming the next place to send your daughter on spring break to get raped and killed.
In the show, the young reporter walks into a party store and buys a beer made with freshly, melted, glacier water. He remarks after sipping the beer, "Global Warming never tasted so sweet."
Business seems to be booming in Greenland. As a matter of fact, an ungodly amount of oil and natural gas lie in the depths of this icy land. Denmark wants to start drilling soon. Greenland wants independence soon. Why now? Why not fifty years ago? Pretty obvious to this observer of the media, Money. The old saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you!", comes to mind right now. If I were Demark, I'd request all of the money lent to Greenland plus interest like a mortgage. It was lent now you owe.
The undeniable truth is that we are all going to die. You may die from melanoma or you could be killed having a spicy love affair. However, global warming will never be the official cause of your death. Let us embrace global warming. Let us dance in the streets like children high on sugar. As Americans, we deserve to feel rays from the sun beat down on us in the middle of winter.
