Did Thinking Caused The Environmental Crisis?!
Today, Monday, October 15th, is Blog Action Day. The idea is to have bloggers unite by writing about one important issue on people’s minds. This year’s issue is … wait for it … the environment! Surprise! Yes, I know that the environment is important. I remember thinking that while sitting in my classroom as thick white smoke belched from the paper mill that operated from across the street. But that was 35 years ago. Since then, air pollution levels there and across the county are half of what they used to be.
With the accuracy befitting the current environmental hysteria, I feel that it is my duty to point out important revelations; revelations that are backed by actual data! After reviewing charts on glacier shortening, arctic air temperature, solar activity activity and sea levels, I have come to this startling conclusion: not only has mankind (and womankind — you gals aren’t getting off that easily) caused catastrophic events through the use of cars and greedy shopping, but we started all of this simply by thinking about it a hundred years prior!
As proof, I submit to you this graph on glacier shortening.

As you can see, this phenomenon started in the early 1800s. If we hadn’t started thinking about our selfish plans to replace horses and steam engines, we might have plenty of glacier ice cubes today as we stroll waist deep in horse manure. Or we might have more shortening to fry our glaciers with. Take your pick.
Next, I submit this revealing chart to you. You may notice that, not only are we guilty for the increase in the Earth’s surface temperature, our mighty influence extends to the Sun itself.

Again, as with glacier shortening, the power of our innocent thoughts in 1800s were more deadly than we imagined. This is what happens when too many whimps complain that they are too cold.
Finally, I’ll leave you with this frightening chart. As you can see, sea levels have been increasing since the mid-1800s … again, before those nasty cars took over the planet.

One possibility is that too many people thought about how wonderful it would be to have the ocean closer to their home. My personal opinion is that we have harvested too many sponges from the ocean. In trying to get next to Godliness, cleanliness came at a price! I could be wrong. But I’m not! I have charts!
I hope that I didn’t alarm you too much, my gentle reader. However, it is apparent that we all possess a terrifying power called thought. And with it, we can change a world. Or, we can let someone do the thinking for us.
