KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

A pedantic comment on the climate change one: Five years was the deadline for stopping the use of fossil fuels, not when humanity would be wiped out by climate change; there was no indication of when the end of the world would happen. I'm not saying it wasn't alarmist, I'm just saying that circling the date on the tweet doesn't actually prove anything.
(And, yes, I am aware that nitpicking memes is like trying to critique a raccoon's table manners, but I couldn't help myself.)
I get your critique (and do keep nitpicking if that floats your boat), but no matter when the world's end happens, the quote implies that five years is some kind of point of no return. I find that highly doubtful. We've heard the failed doomsaying prophecies for decades: Arctic ice that didn't disappear, island nations that were never submerged, radical temperature increases that never happened, polar bears that multiplied instead of going extinct, etc.
And to be clear, while I don't consider myself a "greenie," I'm convinced there's plenty of obvious damage that humans are doing to the environment. My favorite go-to examples have to do with rivers: plastic bottles clogging rivers (mostly in Asia) and manufacturing plants dumping chemicals in rivers (something RFK Jr. has been trying to fight). There's plenty of obvious work that needs to be done without resorting to wild-eyed prophesying. Or so I think. If you can't predict next week's weather, how do you go from that to boldly predicting climate trends? Stick to what you can see.
