Antarctica let loose an iceberg armada, enough ice cubes for ninety-nine zillion pina coladas. So have a couple, just chill, don’t spill, as Earth keeps warming as you know it will. You know it’s partly your fault, but don’t sweat the gestalt, just add some more salt to the glass rim of your next margarita while you ponder the meaning of Karma. Though we all pay the bill for the oil and coal we drill, you can feel fortunate if you live mid-continent and get the Manitoba/Minnesota discount- less firewood to cut, an early start to your garden- while coastal dwellers have floods in their cellars, the Eskimos lose all their snow, rising tides leave drowned ocean islands and islanders with no place to go.

A Big Frickin’ Iceberg, Dude
Antarctica let loose an iceberg armada, enough ice cubes for ninety-nine zillion pina coladas. So have a couple, just chill, don’t spill, as Earth keeps warming as you know it will. You know it’s partly your fault, but don’t sweat the gestalt, just add some more salt to the glass rim of your next margarita while you ponder the meaning of Karma.
