It was 40 degrees Fahrenheit in May in New Jersey this year, which is the usual temperature we see in the Garden State in the month of November! It reached 70 degrees last November, which is the usual temperature we see in the Garden State in the month of May!
Global warming/climate change has affected my idealism regarding Earth homeostasis, the Gaia Hypothesis, and naturalism in general, so here's a short-story I cooked up (in the tradition of Mars Attacks!) to make myself feel better.
I plan to meditate on this 'tale' every Earth Day.
What do you think? I want to share it with the First Lady (Melania Trump) and hopefully convince her to pursue environmentalism-consciousness (which our President does not seem at all interested in doing!).

An alien visited from a distant galaxy and Earthlings were shocked to discover he was made entirely of ice! The alien introduced himself: "My name is Sub-Zero, and I have a calculating mind even though I appear hollow and like an 'ice-man.' American kids fell in love with Sub-Zero and compared him to the Marvel Comics superhero Iceman. Sub-Zero exhibited the power to mold and shape ice into anything he wished and could even heal himself instantaneously by creating replicant ice-crystals to replace any pieces/shards broken off by calamity, trauma, collision, or accident.
Sub-Zero soon became a prominent diplomat of eco-consciousness and was even employed the eco-activism organization The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which was invested in environment-preservation measures in Antarctica, the Amazon, and Australia. Sub-Zero and Leo became fast-friends, and the American movie star told Sub-Zero of a film he made about finding alienation and isolationism on an idyllic isolated island off the coast of Thailand. Sub-Zero was very impressed and told Leo, "You must be very happy that human film-makers wanted to sculpt an imagination 'fable' on a paradise-like island," but the movie star somberly replied, "I only wish the success of the film would inspire greater eco-activism on Earth!"
President Trump commissioned Sub-Zero to work on the incredible Ice Hotel in Sweden. Soon, humanity embraced Sub-Zero for his wonderful trumpeting of environmentalism consciousness and eco-activism geared new age politics under the otherwise (arguably) 'consumerism-biased' and 'capitalism-subjective' TrumpUSA. It was then that Sub-Zero unleashed his real evil and revealed his plan to turn Earth into a giant ice-ball so his fellow aliens from his planet could colonize it and turn it into a giant frozen amusement park for slavery, cannibalism, and ice-skating. When Leo (Sub-Zero's biggest fan) turned to the alien and asked him with inquiring eyes, "Why did you betray humanity?", the alien replied coldly, "Evolution implies terrorism!"
