Man, it’s a sweltering 57.9ºF here.  I’m just burning up.

     Anybody remember the Twilight Zone episode Midnight Sun?  The Earth’s orbit had somehow gotten perturbed and the Earth was slowly spiralling into the Sun.  The writers were way ahead of the game when it came to Global Warming.  The fun thing about the episode was it’s exploration of the social reaction.  Somehow I envision it would be a lot more chaotic and hostile than it was in that episode even though it did have it’s hostile characters.

     I’ve had dreams where it’s gotten very hot, like in that episode, except the Earth was so populated people outside were standing nearly shoulder to shoulder all dripping in sweat.  Reminds me a bit of a warehouse job I had one summer.

   One thing I think will come as we get off of fossil fuels and onto renewables is a renewed awareness of natures cycles and our need to adapt to them.  I think this is actually a good thing because it was something our ancestors had to do and something I think we are genetically programmed to do and not doing it is actually running against our genetic nature and unhealthy.
