Sizzle

It's hot outside. Really, really hot outside. And since there's no air conditioning in the house, it's also hot inside.

I'm almost tempted to go turn on the car, and sit in it with the air conditioner on. Key word is "almost."

Anyone else find it ironic that the way we counteract global warming in our everyday lives--air conditioning--also happens to be one of the most power-draining appliances in the home--and electrical generation is one of the biggest causes of global warming today?

My Dad picked me up from work yesterday. As he put it, it's too hot to take a bus home today. I'm sure that car ride will ensure that next summer is an average of 0.00000001 degrees hotter.

Reminds me of the time I was sitting in my dorm room with my roommate, with sweltering temperatures outside, and I was tempted to leave the refridgerator door open in order to cool the room. Hopefully, you all realize that a refridgerator works simply by taking the heat inside, and pumping it into the coils at the back. Well, isn't that how air conditioning works? We take heat inside the house, and pump it outside. Therefore, the rise of air conditioners is what's causing global warming--all the heat from inside our homes has been pumped out into the atmosphere, where we get baked on our way to work every day.

Such a fitting end for the one who became master of the jungle through learning the art of fire.
