Heat And Drought

[Da Blob]

Laying aside the debate on the causality, the greater question is what is to be done by individuals to adapt to heat and drought? Surely, INTPians have some novel ideas(?)

It's super-hot in Australia right now: there are massive bush fires happening spontaneously and it's 95°F in Sydney at midnight. In fact, the Australian bureau of meteorology has recorded the highest ever known temperature in Australia—and as a result, it's had to add new colors to its weather maps.

2012 was officially the warmest year on record in the contiguous 48 states, based on 118 years of temperature records dating back to 1895. While not every state set a record, more than one-third (19 states) recorded their warmest years, and three-quarters of the lower 48 states recorded their first-, second-, or third-hottest years on record. Ninety-five percent -- 46 states -- had one of their top 10 warmest years ever recorded, and even in the coolest state, Washington, 2012 was warmer than 72 percent of the years on record.

Don't build homes in wildfire-prone areas?

That pretty much leaves the desert and beachfront....sandstorms and hurricanes!

Or we could could just pave huge tracks of land and call them cities with names like New Orleans or New York...oh wait.

A year and a half ago I believe it was, a swamp caught fire along the Virginia North Carolina border. When the wind blew in your direction....oh the choking stink of it.

Point is, I don't think there's many safe places to put 7+ billion people.

It's January and I've been outside today in short sleeves and not chilled at all. Reminds me of last winter.

Then we just have to get rid of those people.

Oh hells yeah!

At least 6 billion of them anyway and I'm not including myself. You on the other hand must take your chances .

We can just ship 'em off to Mongolia. I'm sure they could use the numbers.

We could make our perfect world of only NTs!

INTPs provide logical proofs morally justifying the deportation.
ENTJs coordinate the project and get money.
ENTPs make plans for deportation machines.
INTJs make working plans for deportation machines.

Here we come, utopia- Wait, who will act as our henchmen to haul people off? Damn, we need ISTJs. With that in mind, perhaps we should use our minds for good instead of evil.

INTPs provide logical proofs explaining how it is every citizen's duty to fight climate change.
ENTJs lobby Congress.
ENTPs build carbon clean-up robots.
INTJs write viruses to kill the clean-up robots after they go rogue.

Buuuut some SFs will complain about changes to their lifestyle, and since they're 43% of the population by some estimates, our plans are over. So, in conclusion: Let the droughts come. When things get awful, hopefully this will happen.

Now where's the fun in that?

I could come up with those logical proofs at once. *rides horse up and down ranks of philosophical army* INTP's, mount your computer chairs and draw your keyboards, for at dawn we write!
