Convinient truth

Last two days I have been wearing shorts and floaters to our office.
Being at the ground floor with a small lawn in front though has advantages in a hot summer day, but when it is monsoons it’s horrible.
The attendance drops by 80% and efficiency 100%. Everyone has reasons for not doing their jobs, factory is closed, dispatches are not possible, markets are inaccessible and payment can not be received.
It’s frustrating, and over and above they have climate change on the media menu these days, with opinions on both sides, and you also have Al gore telling us an inconvenient truth.
Well, I obviously do not like the water logged streets and bad sanitation, and I don’t think I can blame the climate for it, if there is anyone to be blamed, it is me, who is part of the society who has created a system of not cleaning drains, even after taking responsibility for doing so, and most of all after being paid for it.

Ice caps are melting and flooding the streets of Florida, Mumbai and even my own backyard. Calcutta will disappear in say 70 years and all of Bangladesh will be refugee I guess in my same flooded back yard.
New Zealand is getting tough on emissions norms as they have suffered the most of refugee problem.
If ours was not a socialist and welfare state, I would have welcomed the refugees, as they would have meant cheap labor for our factory and consumers of our juices and jams.
But then in a socialist country I will have to dole out higher taxes, to accommodate them, to provide cheap housing and free food.
Socialism makes me selfish to the tune that I am inhuman. Though, free market also makes me selfish, but I become more human to the needy.
Refugees though will be consumer to different kind of business people. Politicians, where I would be meeting with their tastes of pickles, politicians would be meeting their insecurities in form of religion.
However, does it really matter, that the ice caps are melting and climate is changing. It has been changing over a billion of year, even when humans were not there. Well Poor ol Al, has me convinced that we can do our bit, check emissions and all that, supposedly slow the process of global warming.
Well delay, till Al and you and I have gone past this place, but the truth remains that, climate change is inevitable.
Well the best that we can do is to invent good boats, and land that can float, energy that can be renewed and stored for a couple of hundred years, grow food in bottles and develop gills at the back of our ears.
I am doing my bit, I am preserving food, and you can eat as good even after 36 months of packaging.
I am told fantasy is different that fiction, which in turn is different than science in reality. But then every thing starts with a dream.
And why should we do it, if we can delay it, well the answer is for our children. They would call us fools and destroyers any way, but I guess we have to make them aware of the situation and get prepared for it.
As for now, my daughter loves this situation as holiday from school and playing in the puddle is what she says she can do all her life.
