An InconvenientTruth

Well Hello again. It has been awhile. When I saw the documentary An Inconvenient Truth I was pretty convinced. He was preaching to an already convinced crowd in my opinion however. I agreed with almost all the facts and think that action needs to be done to combat global climate change. And although it is inconvenient and expensive, you know what is also inconvenient and expensive? Death from inhospitable living conditions. The only problem I had with this documentary was that the personal story along with the power point presentation. I find the side story, although interesting, very distracting to the overall goal of the movie. I think the main point of the movie was to inform the world of the problem of global climate change. A strong case could be made that this was made to make him more of a down to earth guy but I don't think that is the sole purpose. The stress and passion put into the presentation conveys this down to earth guy but that isn't the central point. He makes a very persuasive argument to try and stop global warming due to the fact that we are causing it.....and we are one of the main contributors....and we have solutions we can be investing in and using. Like solar power. Or hydro-power. Or nuclear energy. Or bio-fuels. Or wind energy. Or clean coal. These are all solutions that are changes that logistically can be made and could reduce our CO2 emissions to a more manageable situation to combat global climate change.

NOTLD



When it comes down to it, if a zombocalypse happened I would be prepared. I would consider myself kinda like Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. I am prepared for almost anything. I have plenty of food ready to go to keep me safe for at least, AT LEAST 2 weeks. Not to mention the closeness of my grocery store. SO what this means is that food won't be a problem for me. I also would quickly drive to a military base and take as many guns, ammunition, and supplies I could and I would put them into a tank and drive that back to my house where I would stay and defend my territory! I feel this is a very reasonable plan to accomplish in 24 hours. This would put me ahead of the game. This is how it would go down. I would fend off the zombies in my house as much as I could until I got overrun. If that were to happen THEN I would go to my tank and I would lock myself into the tank and wait them out. And if that didn't work I could always drive off and find more supplies in my tank. OR I could just leave and find a new place to call home. Ya know...whatever works bro.
