Scorching Hot

Day 215 of writing every day.

With the issue of needing to find a job out of the way, I think my thoughts will be turning to other topics. Today was maybe the first time I really felt that the temperature outside was hot enough to feel draining. I’ve sweat enough this summer to be familiar with the discomfort of clothes clinging to my skin and my back getting the wettest when I have a backpack on, but it felt hot even without any extra weight.

I usually feel like the chilled air from air conditioning coats me in a barrier that provides temporary protection against the heat when I step outside, but today that barrier seemed to vanish the moment it got exposed to hot air.

I read that in Florida, the ocean has even reached around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, making it really warm to soak in and I doubt anyone going to the beach is going to get cooled off. And I also read that the oceans are changing colors. The heat is causing phytoplanktons to bloom and they’re turning the oceans green.

I don’t think things are going to end well the way things are going with the world, and while I’ve done what I can reasonably do to help reduce my carbon footprint, I think the greed driven system in control of so many things will only speed on with their indifference. Being environmentally conscious just doesn’t pay as well as being irresponsible pollution.

Well that was depressing, but I’m not the one who’s actively trying to ruin the world for the sake of more money.

Thanks for reading!
