Would you look at that. The East Coast has worse weather than Mars.

Its freezing here in California due to it being the season of hot chocolate and bitter cold that can cause your skin to literally start PEELING OFF. I’m sorry for being so rash(hahahahahaha puns) but I really do detest being a human banana being constantly peeled by some invisible force that apparently doesn’t want me to be comfortable in my own skin. Thus leaving me to bleed easily:

Me: *minding my own beeswax*

Sharp Ledge: She looks so happy, LETS RUIN HER DAY

Me: *is a stupid little butterfingers and bumps into that very sharp ledge*

Me: Oh would you look at that, now blood is spewing out of my very fragile winter bitten skin.

My Mom: GOD JUST PUT ON SOME MOISTURIZER *muttering*

Me: . . .

Anyway enough about my own personal torture, lets get on with why we actually are here. *cue dramatic 1970s detective music*

Recently i have been reading articles and listening to newscasts on various resources that the weather in the East Coast is bringing temperatures that seem to be dropping dangerously low. I just finished reading this CNN article stating that the temps in the east coast have dropped to a point where it is colder than Mars.

COLDER THAN MARS!? I literally did a double take and actually adjusted my glasses just to make sure that what I was seeing was really actually positively true. I read through the article and was shocked to find that there was this thing called bombogenesis, or Bomb cyclone.

I now the name sounds terrifying no doubt about that.

According to livescience.com:

“Bomb cyclones” or “weather bombs” are wicked winter storms that can rival the strength of hurricanes and are so called because of the process that creates them: bombogenesis.

It’s a mouthful of a meteorology term that refers to a storm (generally a non-tropical one) that intensifies very rapidly.

Bomb cyclones tend to happen more in the winter months and can carry hurricane-force winds and cause coastal flooding and heavy snow.”

For the people who live in the East Coast… Are you guys okay? alright thats a stupid question because if I cant even handle a California winter that only goes as low as 50 degrees, then I must be a very egotistical person. I am in literal torture in the mornings because it SO. FREXING. COLD. I cant imagine what it must be for them up there. All I want to ask them is ARE YOU GUYS SURVIVING. IF SO, HOW?!

And now I just finished reading an article titled: Brutal cold sends shivers through Northeast after “bomb cyclone”.

NOW ITS THE NORTHEAST!? WH-WHY?!

Anyone who says that climate change isn’t real and keeping that argument up is truly making their stupidity and lack of knowledge(and self esteem)shine through. So just shut up about global warming not being in current existence. This has sprung up many argumentatives at school and teachers are encouraging students to show their point of view on this situation. All this stuff is happening because whatever genius decided to have gas-guzzling vehicles roll beside the trees, and have carbon fumes shooting into the atmosphere.

This isn’t some sick game that can just end with the snap of our fingers. We have to fight and work to make sure that it doesn’t worsen, before it goes so far, that there is nothing we could do to stop it. Thats why we all have to make sure that doesn’t happen. We have to push it away as far as we could. We need to make global sacrifices that will benefit the Earth more. Its easier to say than do it. Now before you start thinking that I’m just acting all macho and actually sitting back and watching fires burn and glaciers melt, I am trying my best as well. I have seen so many lectures at school, countless assemblies and video bulletins invariably pushing the fact that we need to fix our mistakes and help our environment and community as much as we can(and should, mind you) But the problem is, is that students will just wave the subject away as quickly as it has been presented to them. Most people don’t understand that this is something very sever, and we have caused it. People are suffering now because of these foolish and careless acts.

I’m sorry, I’m acting like some old lady lecturing kids about the world and how bad its turned out and yada yada ecetera ecetera.

Wow, this post just got really anticlimactic.

Anyway, I am really worried about the winter weather going on. Though I am still doing my research and looking for a hypothesis to settle on, so far articles are saying that this weather in the East Coast and Northeast are something that people who live there should get used to. I am not very happy about that. So many people are suffering and some are literally freezing to death.

I just hope everything gets better, and soon. I don’t think I can handle to hear about more people struggling because of what the global weather changes have come to.

NOW LETS LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE. ENOUGH SAD DEPRESSING THOUGHTS.

My mind is so twisted right now, god I need help. ANYWAY, there are a lot of people dedicated and working hard to fight this dreadful war with natures detest. There are people that are putting there own blood and sweat into their work, with their commitment. And I admire that a lot. Its good to know that there are people out there that truly care and are willing to sacrifice so much.

So yeah, I hoped you guys partially enjoyed me lecturing you guys about nonsense that somehow has some meaning to it. So yeah um, thats it I guess. OH YEAH AND ONE MORE THING. HERE IS YOUR SUPER DEEP AND HYPOTHETICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Climate is an angry and irritated beast and we are poking at it with sharp and pointy sticks.
