So I had to write this cause and effect paragraph for English, and I thought it had just enough rant to be featured on el blogo. So here you are. A rant, in one part, on global warming and how it makes me crazy.
Global warming has a huge effect on so many things: the ice caps are melting, the ozone layer is depleting, and I am going crazy. Crazy? You may ask. Oh yes, crazy. Global warming causes ice caps to melt, which in turn causes people to freak out because their half a million dollar ocean view property is about to become million dollar waterfront property. This skyrocketing of market value on property causes people to freak out [because what crazy person wants waterfront?] and buy a brand spanking new Prius, which puts a rise on consumerism; which puts up the rate of factory output; which, of course, raises the amount of pollutants being spat right back out into the atmosphere. The new pollutants then seep into the minds of magazines, and professors and television actors, so they decide it's high time they spend thousands of dollars and hours making movies, and writing books and preparing lectures on the most popular topic of our time: The End of the World. The movies and books and lectures then make their way into classrooms where students vigilantly watch them, often with their eyes closed for maximum retention. The students then take their new found knowledge of statistics to do with the Amazon rainforest tree population, and climb into their Ford F350's for a jaunt in the great outdoors, all while saying “You know, I seen this movie called 'A Inconvincable Truth' in English today. It was legit,” because if the world is going to end, then why would we need to know about verb agreement?
