Were I to speak with eloquentness enough to spur one to action regarding global warming, I feel I must borrow from a fiery pulpit. Would that I could rail to get our arrant citizenry motivated to head off man-made climate change before it’s too extremely late. We’ll be asinine to keep on in this vein and all go to hell together as fools too headstrong, apathetic, ignorant, or some combination of these lamentable depictions.

Call or email your legislative representatives religiously to lobby for a bill to cut CO2 emissions at the source. Plant trees. Reduce, recycle, and reuse. These are starting points. Start somewhere! I’d call fire and brimstone to rain down if it would increase the seriousness we pay to our dire plight, but fire and brimstone is already here. And it’s a hell of a lot worse for all its literal nature. Sadly, cataclysmic forces are real, and their impacts on our poor environment are legion. It’s a damnable mess we’ve got ourselves in, and we sincerely need to wake the hell up.
