Climate change is depressing

Last week, there's a high tide happened in Jakarta and flooded some areas, most notably in North Jakarta. It jammed the traffic in Sediyatmo Toll Road, which is the main road to Soekarno-Hatta Airport for Jakartans. I was there.

Lucky for me i managed to turn back before got stuck in flooded area, go around the other way and arrived at the airport at 8 PM. Way too late for my flight but then i got rerouted for the first flight in the next morning. So, it ended well. For me.
Was it caused by the global warming? Rising of the coastal line?
Maybe.
I think 2007 will be remembered as the year of Global Warming. This is the year when Al Gore won the Oscar and Nobel Peace prize for his job preaching about global warming. Suddenly, fighting global warming and climate change become hip and sexy.
I'm starting to grow tired of all things about global warming.
I think we have more pressing matters. Like poverty, famine and world peace. Those issues come a long way before global warming happen. It even comes way long before Al Gore's  mother got pregnant. Heck.. it comes way way long before Al Gore's mother's mother got pregnant.
Just imagine if military budget of all countries in the world cut down to half and be used to fund  researches on enviromentally friendy technologies. I bet my white hairs, that in ten or twenty years, global warming  is just a thing of the past. Plastics, fossil fuel consuming technologies and Inconvenient Truth are just relics of human stupidity.

How about me?
Well, i do have my own way fighting global warming. A hypocrite i might be, but i can be hip and sexy too.
So what do i do?
I don't use toilet papers.

Ah... so this is where you've been writing all this time, Mr.HypocriticalFatBastard :D

Global warming is some serious issue, you should check out a SouthPark Episode of global warming. The geologist Mr.Randy Marsh (Stan's dad) thinks that global warming will come "Two days before the day after tomorrow".

BE warned!
