Global Warming At Home

I defrosted my fridge last night and woke up to see the effects of global warming first hand. In my dining room.

Huge ice caps had melted. Water covered what used to be dry land (my living room). Food supplies (milk and veges) were thrown into disarray. Fresh water (cold) became scarce. Long forgotten plants and animals, aka food packets, were rediscovered under the mass of ice. Inaccessible regions, like the back of my freezer, became easy to reach. Man had to survive on whatever he could find to eat (bread and jam).

It was like watching 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Ice Age 2'.

And if the look on my maid's face when she saw the mess is a true reflection of her feelings, social unrest is just around the corner. 'Water World', here we come.

very true...global warming is no longer a myth or just another fancy bed time story our parents used to tell us 20 years back...it has become a reality...but im not sure how far it holds true in the affluent and developed part of the world....the carbon footprint of this part of the world is so huge that even me(big foot)or for that matter yeti would think he has a regular footprint....!!!??!!!surprising and quite disturbing....global warming and greening is being used as a good fancy dress theme for kids with the adults not realizing that just speaking of it is not going to be enough!!! a little more than that is what each one of us needs to do....so that we can say to our children and their children that we gave them a better world to live in...!!!SAVE ENERGY..SAVE WATER..!!!

Big Foot, good point. We're running out of time.

Can see that you're taking the 'Saving Water' thing seriously. ;-)

Ha ha... so be prepared for agitations from the maid!

And hey, didn't she demand a raise to clean up all the mess?

Practical Preacher said...

No she didn't. She's already being paid a very generous salary. Plus, she knows that with my housekeeping abilities, it will be another 6 months before the floods come again.
