Astronomer Dr. Edmund Sorensen led a minor break out session at this years climate summit. With multiple speakers and advocates warning that we only have a few years before the earth will be uninhabitable, all because of plastics and SUV’s and airplanes, Dr. Sorenson’s warnings seemed a bit anachronistic to most of the attendees.
"People seem to forget that while the planet is warming, and going through various fluctuations of temperature in this tiny neighborhood of our solar system, the universe is cooling!" insisted a passionate Dr. Sorensen. "It's like everyone has forgotten the second law of thermodynamics! Given a wide view, we are totally screwed! If you think a degree or two in North America is a problem, wait until the sun burns up all of its fuel. What are you going to do then? You fools are side-stepping a bike only to be smacked in the face with a bus!”
Dr. Sorensen acknowledged that it isn’t likely that this cooling, at least in our solar system, will occur in the next twelve years, like the boiling of our oceans and the demise of Venice, but it will come after all of that! And no one will survive it. In closing, Dr. Sorensen said, “All the arrogations of human intervention are futile in the grand scheme. Human reason itself is wholly accidental to the universe, a vapor, nothing! Ah, but don’t forget to recycle. Morons!”
Many of the comment cards of Dr. Sorrenson’s talk complained of him being a sad little man, and also that he was clearly a racist.
