a major release of the Antarctic Ice
Sheet
recently melted and fell into the sea
the planet is in profound trouble
environmental organizations keep trying
to get us to notice a few people care a
lot but strangely and shamefully most
people are much more concerned with
other lesser things in an average week
worldwide there are nearly a million
articles about Taylor Swift and many of
feelings way
and there are just 30,000 articles about
those Antarctic ice sheets Swift’s legs
are lovely in ways that seem to defy
description somehow they look ordinary
yet perfect their long yet not freakish
they seem unbound by their implausible
length both utterly firm and yet
yielding and soft people who take global
warming seriously tend to get apoplectic
at this point they’re not wrong
while delightful Taylor Swift’s legs are
of zero significance in comparison with
the fate of the planet nobody should
profit from rising temperatures seas
flooding human suffering poverty caused
by the burning of fossil fuels do you
think the cats know that you’re Taylor
Swift there was a point where Meredith
she was the first cat that I got she got
and I post pictures of her on Instagram
and stuff and she was a really beautiful
kitten um so she became named like the
year-end top celebrity pet I think on
some level she knew because she changed
after that
but getting angry at our fascination
with the thighs of a singer is
counterproductive in a democracy we
cannot be collectively dragged into
being more responsible through guilt and
for a very simple reason we don’t have
to pay attention if those who care about
the Arctic melt are going to get angry
bitter and stern
they’ll just be ignored we’re putting
carbon dioxide in the air at a
prodigious rate and the world’s getting
warmer and you can know this by looking
at the neutrons in the ice
we are inducing a sixth mass extinction
event kind of by accident the problem is
we really do need to do something about
that ice but a starting point has to be
indulgence towards the ways our minds
work we’re interested in Taylor Swift’s
legs not because we’re evil but because
our minds are wired up in unhelpful ways
if people are going to be interested on
mass in the defrosting polls we need to
take off fragilities onboard
and therefore get serious very serious
about trying to make important news not
just important but also beguiling almost
as tempting to hear about as Taylor’s
legs the urge to nag is very
understandable the problem is it’s never
effective it will work for a small
number of people but for most of us it’s
just off-putting we instinctively resent
being told that we’re stupid and
heartless when we’re just Harris we’re
already doing our best to be decent
people there are so many serious things
we need collective persuading about to

attempted to motivate people by guilt
they need in the future to learn to
me standing in a nice dress staring at
the sunset babe red lips and rosy cheeks
say you’ll see me again even if it’s just pretend
