It is bewildering to aliens like me to see you humans wandering around destroying your climate as if it doesn’t matter.
In particular it annoys me that there are so many cloudy wet days, due to the eight per cent increase in atmospheric water for each increased degree of average temperature. Up and down, up and down the water goes; it’s boring sitting in my saucer all week.
Hey, how about switching over to electrons instead of those blardy carbomb molecules. Ehh. That dirty smelly stuff going pop pop pop at 3,000 rpm… Give me a break. Yes I know you like the brmmm brmmm, but try to move beyond that, boys and gurls. Good planets are hard to find.
If you see bats hanging around in trees, or sucking blood from your neck at night, it’s nature’s way of getting you to take batteries seriously. Yes they stash electrons to keep your lights on at night and your neck safe.
C’mon humans, the way you’re going it’ll get so cloudy my solar won’t work, battery won’t charge, and saucer won’t fly. At least, when it floods, I’ll be able to stay up to my neck in it.
