As a boomer, I’ve spent my fair share of time on this planet, and I have to say, I’m getting a little tired of all this talk about global warming and melting ice caps. I mean, what’s the big deal? The polar bears might be in trouble, but what about me and my ocean views?
I live on a beautiful beachfront property, and every day, I’m forced to look at those massive chunks of ice floating in the water. They’re mocking me, reminding me of my mortality and that I won’t be around forever to enjoy this view.
But if all the ice caps melt, that’ll be a different story. No more pesky chunks of ice blocking my view, no more talk about rising sea levels, just me and the ocean as far as the eye can see.
Some of you might think this is a selfish perspective, but I’m a boomer. We’re used to getting what we want. And if melting all the ice caps means I get to enjoy my ocean views in peace, then I say bring it on!
Of course, there are some downsides to all of this. The loss of polar bears and other wildlife, for example. But let’s be real, who really cares about them anyway? It’s not like they will come to my house and enjoy the ocean views with me.
I say let the ice caps melt. It’s time for boomers like me to enjoy the fruits of our labor, and if that means sacrificing a few polar bears along the way, that’s just the price of progress.
