What Environmental Science has Taught Me: episode 1

enviro science is def a sometimes waste of time. but upon reflection, i have come to realize that it teaches valuable truths, life lessons. and so. here is number one. *there is no such thing as global warming. yes, you might think, wait. this is environmental science. shouldn't they be pounding global warming into your brain? answer: false. you know you have a good e. science teacher when... she is an advocate to the opposing side of the global warming theory. now here is my theory. the earth goes through seasons, right? summer fall winter spring and back round again. now imagine those seasons being within two larger seasons, a larger summer and a larger winter. still following? for example, back in the days of the dinosaurs. the dinosaurs would roam the earth all happy go lucky and, no a comet did not come. the earth heated to the "larger summer" season. the climate and temperature steadily rose over a certain number of years, until finally, the earth became uninhabitable. dinosaurs=dead. then the earth steadily cooled down, cave men came, and then it slowly went into "larger winter" and the cave men=frozen dead. now. we live. our earth is slowly heating up. i dont believe it is the hairspray and the cars and the humans' fault at all. the earth is the smallest of a fraction off from its orbit around the sun than what we have calculated. so after moving round and round so many billions of times, we have a larger winter and larger summer along with the four smaller seasons. you may think this irrational. ok. but tell me that blaming global warming on human activity (which only accounts for 5% of the greenhouse gases found in the atmosphere) isnt irrational. my hypothesis isnt foolproof by any means. but i figure im a heck of a lot closer to the truth than my buddy al gore over here. scientist funding scandal? i think so. and this concludes episode 1.

And Now to Begin

This post marks the first and most important step of my blogging life. The first post. The first thought. The first mistake. Yes. All blogs are mistakes. And I intend to make this mistake in style. I will start by not capitalizing my "i's" ahh that feels better. in fact. i dont want to capitalize anything. i'll just write and hope that the world can understand. because everyone knows that without correct capitalization, the language is incomprehensible. and i wonder why my english teacher got mad at me for being sarcastic about wal mart. psht. wal mart shmall mart. the first post. the beginning. and this is the end.
