This morning, while drinking my coffee, I read an article about sunspots and solar activity which seemed quite plausible to my meager understanding of climate science. So, as always I went on to read the comments. Whoa! I murmured to myself. Someone has hacked into my identity and is now posting scurrilous and insane ripostes on the Internet in my heretofore unsullied name. Oh, imagine if you will my utter chagrin! The mortification... I must here and now denounce this utter fraud and hoaxer! Instanter! I promise to get to the bottom of this evil hack. Here meanwhile is what that clearly demented impostor had the effrontery to post in my name:
" So, Ms. Smarty pants, you think the puny little sun governs climate? Hahahahahahaha! That's crazy. The real experts know that humankind is an ugly pustulent boil upon the arse of her highness Mother Earth that will soon be lanced and wiped out due to our arrogant belief in technology. Ever since we started using fire we have been causing global warming. Only our primate ancestors are truly free, they need no evil fire things. We must return to nature now! No more cooking, no more Interne "
Dear readers, I sincerely hope that this cunning prankster being cut off in mid rant like that indicates that we will see no more of him.
Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.
