The Museum of Natural History is a place of worship for me. Knowledge and science is very intense. Recently, I visited the exhibit “Climate Change: The Threat to Life and New Energy Future,” which runs from October 18, 2008 to August 16, 2009. Honestly, this exhibit couldn’t tell me much of what I already didn’t know, but anybody–and i mean everybody–could absolutely benefit from this exhibit (don’t mind the little kids’ crayon scrawls on just about everything).
As an individual, I truly do my best to not fuck up shit and make things worse than they already are. Really, when it comes down to it, I just think it’s disgusting to be wasteful. I grew up with two younger brothers, and was raised by a single mother. We didn’t have whole lot, so we hustled and made things last.
I live in Brooklyn now, and it makes me want to spit how filthy and wasteful everything can be. Every pick-up day I see decently working shit sitting on the curb (donate that crap, or at least freebie it on craigslist). And what’s more disrespectful is witnessing these little brats tossing garbage in the street right in front of their parents, who don’t even react to such behavior. WTF?! These people are scum. My dad is a garbage man, and I remember him bringing home awesome stuff that he would find along his routes. Stereo amps, leather recliners, perfectly working power tools! What the hell is wrong with people? …Scum.
Anyway, at this exhibit, they touched upon the belief that Polar Bears, threatened by the melting of their icy habitat would be forced to make their way south through Alaska. For the most part, being the survivors that they are, they would forage through the scraps and refuse left by humans. But as I see it, they might soon wise up, and muscle in on the territory normally reigned over by Alaskan Brown Bears as well as other species. Can you imagine Polar Bears, the largest of all bears, with coats more blonde than white as result of vitamin deficiency, challenging Grizzlies, Kodiaks and Giant Browns for the rights to coveted salmon holes? Will there be enough salmon for all? Or will a tremendous conflict ensue?
In the next 10-15 years, keep your eye out for a new TV show coming to Discovery, TLC, Nat Geo, or whatever one of those channels might be. It’s called “BEAR WARS!” And it would be the sickest TV show of all time. Please, sign me up for advanced copies. I want the collector’s edition.
Insane.
BEAR WARS!
