Global Warming = No Fun

by Rachel Cotton

You may have noticed that it was about sixty degrees every day this winter. In short, this is because corporations like McDonalds destroy large portions of the rainforest each day so they can farm cattle and you can eat hamburgers. This phenomenon is more popularly known as global warming.

exhibit a: is it hot in here?

As a snowboarder, you should care about global warming because:

global warming = climate change
climate change = less snow
less snow = no snowboarding
no snowboarding = no fun

In total: global warming = no snowboarding = no fun

Here are a few simple things you can do to stall the death of winter:
1. Ride bikes not cars.
2. Go vegan!
3. Demand that capitalist society take responsibility for its systematic devastation of all things good.
4. Demand that the systematic devastation of all things good be put to a stop. Immediately.
5. Spread the word/wealth.
