The Day the Earth Stood Still

sometimes i think that the day the earth stood still is happening right now not that it’s really standing still as in the movie that was to demonstrate the power that the benign alien visitor had over the events of the human race he could, or his robot could, cause the destruction of humans but in our case now we are causing our destruction

not in one day which is why we aren’t as alarmed as we should be today on the news npr of course was the story of a recent phenomenon rain on snow 20,000 musk oxen were found dead in 2004 it took awhile to figure out that rain falling on snow froze and prevented the oxen from digging through the snow to the food below another global warming event i hear it all of the time the polar bears’ ice is shrinking drought floods and developing industrialized nations china india don’t want to cut back on their global warming gasses because they want what we have and we got what we have by burning burning burning fossil fuels and we didn’t sign the kyoto agreement in 1997 but now we’re on board with climate change al gore’s an inconvenient truth probably helped but scientists say that the 20 or 30 years we’re giving ourselves to reverse our dependence on fossil fuels is still going to produce some irrevocable changes all of the animals all of the plants that will be gone for good it’s so sad i cry
