Not melting ice caps, floods and other weather fubarness, crop loss, resource competition, economic meltdowns or anything quite so complicated.
Heat. Just the damn heat. You know why everything's bigger in Texas? So people can get away from each other. Seriously, when it's hot, the last thing you want to have is some other person sweating up your space. Makes you all sorts of grumpy. So, when escalating population meets escalating heat, you have escalating anger, which leads to thermonuclear warfare (which is like global warming times infinity)... maybe not... but maybe.
Ever wonder why Canadians are so peaceful? Cuz they're cold and want to snuggle.
Intriguing theory. I totally buy it. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, just wanted to say, congrats on selling your book! It sounds really fantastic. Can't wait to read it. :)
It's freaking hot here in Alabama too. And I agree, heat makes people ornery. Things may not be as big as Texas down here, but I definitely like being hermit and staying away from other people (aka sources of heat).
ReplyDeleteBane,
ReplyDeleteI'm in Texas and totally know what you're talking about. Although when it gets colder down here we don't seem to know what to do with ourselves LOL. If there's ice on the road, very few people know how to drive on it. If we ever get a blizzard (highly unlikely in my part of the State) the whole city would probably be in shock LOL Hurricanes we know how to deal with, but ice and snow leaves us frozen--literally! But I do like the cooler weather in the fall and winter. The heat means inside well air conditioned buildings and swimming pools. But I prefer the Fall and Winter--I love wearing jackets and sweaters and pants :-)
Oh bring some degrees here! I'm freezing! *brrrr*
ReplyDeleteLOL: I guess that explains it all then :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you rejoining the blogs Josh. I've missed your voice.

Thanks for the comment/follow at my blog. I've returned the favor. Also, big congratz to you on the book sale to Greenwillow! Read about it on Bransford's blog. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it. And yes those Canadians sure seem unnaturally nice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Canadians are peaceful right up until Burrows takes a bite of our your fingers, causing the Bruins to rally and win the Stanley Cup. But that's like, 1% of the time. So it's more of a general rule. Haha
ReplyDeleteHa, that riot happened the night I posted... ah, irony. Canadians do tend to get crazy about their hockey. Thanks for stopping by.
