October 21, 2014

The dream of storing sunshine is an old one.
This cartoon certainly has the politics right.

I really liked the bombing of the bad guys wth bottles of stored sunlight and finally force feeding those miserable souls until they were happy.

I guess bomobing and force feeding will raise eyebrows in the denial camp.

Remember folks: This was made a long time ago in the good old USA. Amercians no longer bomb unhappy people or force feed anyone (unless they really deserve it).

  Seems innocent enough on the surface, but taken in the context of the time the imposition of an ideology is quite disturbing, however well-meaning it may be.
  
  Even deniers should have the right to grumble and keep their heads in the sand if they want to, until that is, their behaviour affects the rest of us detrimentally.

    In real life, of course, deniers exposed to sunlight burst into flames.

      And if we are there with our FLIR cameras, equipped with the proper ‘filters” of course, we will be able to photograph the “invisible” CO2 they give off.

It’s a cute little fairy tale, although the EXACT opposite is what happened in real life. Watch the cartoon again and imagine the reverse of it.

Yes, the dream of putting sunshine in a bottle is an old one. Being able to e.g. put July’s sunshine in a tank for January would solve an immense number of problems.

It’s still mighty elusive, isn’t it?

  Plants are good at it. I’m having a glass of sunshine right now.
