Back to the daily grind. Sigh.

Did you know that ladybugs are adapting to a more brownish color due to our ever changing climate? I remember the good ol' days when they sported bold apple-red shells. It's kind of scary how we're destroying the earth so much. I just read an article on greenhouses gases, and it emphasized that our environmental scientists are worried that, if we don't stop emitting greenhouse gases before 2016 , the world will end for sure. They don't know when, but it will end. Shudder. I'm increasingly angry at how stupid and greedy mankind is. The majority of people just don't understand the damage we are doing to mother earth, and it's coming back to bite us in the ass right now.

Even moreso, the media pisses me off with their endless parading of pointless, pointless "news". The best toys to buy for Christmas! Kim whats-her-face got divorced! Some dude named Sandusky is involved in a scandal! Tom Cruise's kid fell down and skinned her elbow!

The media pollutes our minds with trivial things and constantly exposes us to people who have done squat to change the world (that orange creature from Jersey Shore, anyone?) Imagine how much more productive we'd be if the tabloids were covered in pictures of environmentalists and climate scientists, and stories about preserving the environment. Imagine if, instead of discussing sports, T.V. shows, and celebrities, we used our time and energy to omit greenhouse gases, recycle our trash, and tap into various alternative fuel sources.

If there is one thing we humans excel at, it's wasting time.

Mother nature's clock is ticking very loudly, and what are we doing about it? Not much. That needs to change. People need to WAKE UP.
