Hurricane Conspiracy Theroy

Ok, here goes. I might be full of shit here, but I have an idea.

Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne.. The four hurricanes of Florida's nightmares:

The first article discusses how in 1998: "For the first time since 1893, four hurricanes with winds stronger than 75 mph were roaming the Atlantic Ocean at the same time. This infrared satellite image shows them all. " The second article says: "The four hurricanes that have struck Florida this season matched the most to hit a single state since 1886, when Texas was battered four times." The hurricanes circa 1886:1893 happened 7 years apart. The hurricanes 1998:2004 happened 6 years apart. Pretty fucked up. But not the point of my post.

It's happened before, but it's superfucking rare. Quartets of hurricanes in the Atlantic. I remember reading about how the ingrediants to a hurricane are very specific. If I find it I'll post a link.

The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" actually had some realism to it. I wouldn't say frozen hurricanes are going to eat our planet within a 1 day timespread, but global warming has been an ignored issue by humans that can't stop killing the environment, and now the environment may be on the verge of pressing the reset button.

What if the hurricanes are the by product of burning the rainforests, too many parking lots, a shoe factory where a forest should be. Humans overpopulating until guess fucking what, there's no room, no food, and you silly fuckers have no breathable air left. We clear land for a town, and think that a handful of trees in the city park are going to make up for it. Arrogant pieces of shit.

Do I think it's the coming of the next Ice Age? Maybe. Do I think the goverment knows what's going on? Maybe. Why the sudden push for space exploration? Hasn't anyone noticed that this has really gotten hyped? 10 years ago, space travel was where a guy goes up to the space station to bring the hermit up there a sack lunch and replacement lightbulbs. Now we're moving toward a Lunar base of operations, and from there to Mars? This was decided reletively quickly with respect to all other space issues. Remember how NASA cheered? "Oh holy shit, our funding is coming back! I thought the world didn't love good old NASA anymore!" At first I thought it was political dick-swinging because politicians are extremely good at swinging their dicks. Then I got to thinking. Why has this become more urgent than problems here on Earth? I mean don't get me wrong, it excites the shit out of me to know that we are going to start exploring other worlds. The explorer inside me is doing backflips. But surely they know we have poverty, crime, and all that jazz. Why has need risen so greatly and so quickly to leave the planet?

Perhaps these events are linked. Maybe the government expecting that all those de-forestations to eventually catch up with us are trying to get a ticket to salvation by getting some asses off the planet before Earth rolls the population back. Some people, but not all. Mars is smaller than Earth. Mars's water is either frozen beneath it's surface, or non-existant. It can't support everyone. So who would get to go? I'll let you take a lucky guess on that.

Maybe I should have been an Astronaut.
