I'm old school. I'll stick to the potential of going to hell than creating yet another fake statistical hell and concerning myself about that for the rest of my life. It seems that many people require a fear of something bigger than them, and it's much easier to freak out about their climate god and appease it with ritual and sacrifice (that is, sacrificing others) than it is to try to clean up their lives--the latter with the cool, underrated benefit of avoiding eternal suffering. Climate fear has the added theoretical awesomeness of claiming to save the universe--by .0003 seconds--from the supposed entropy that will eventually be upon us and making all of "this" (including fearful climate graphs) lost eternally. I'll continue to be a throwback and cling to the hope that Bach's works won't be lost even after entropy--I like that better even if it's just a hope. I'm going to go outside with my hoodie on in this abnormally cold late spring.
