Josh I don’t see what the big deal is. Ifit gets too hot for

north to cooI off. I mean, We’ve been going south for

years to get warm・

Richard Yes but…

Josh Don’t interrupt me. Now, if the polar ice caps were
smaller in size, it would be easier to dig for oil in the
Arctic, Which would mean cheaper gas for us. Think
about how much more we could use our cars! We could
go for nice long drives in the country!
Richard曲Josh, yOu are噛!
Josh: Sabes, no veo de qué se trata tanto alboroto. Personalmente, odio el clima frío.
El calentamiento global significa que puedo ir a nadar todo el año, así que, por lo que a
mí respecta, déjalo cada vez más cálido.
Richard: ¿Estás totalmente loco, Josh? ¿No ha entendido una palabra de lo que han
estado diciendo los científicos? Si la temperatura sigue aumentando, los casquetes
polares se derretirán. Como resultado, el nivel del mar aumentará provocando
inundaciones masivas. Y sí, podrás ir a nadar todo el año, ¡en tu patio trasero!
Josh: ¿Y qué? Algunas ciudades que están a millas de distancia del océano Josh se
convertirán en balnearios. ¿No es maravilloso? Verás, tu problema es que sigues
enfocándote en las desventajas. Si no fueras tan negativo, podrías ver todas las
ventajas del calentamiento global.
Richard: ¿Qué ventajas?
Josh: Bueno, para empezar, si el clima se pone aún más cálido, ahorraremos mucho
dinero en ropa de invierno. No más sombreros, botas y abrigos pesados. ¡Podría usar
mis camisetas todos los días y mostrar mis grandes músculos!
Richard: ¿No comprendes que la gente que vive en las regiones del sur sufriría un
calor extremo?
Josh: No veo cuál es el problema. Si hace demasiado calor para las personas que
viven en el sur, simplemente irán al norte para refrescarse. Quiero decir, llevamos
años yendo al sur para calentarnos.
Richard: Sí, pero ...
Josh: No me interrumpas. Ahora, si los casquetes polares fueran más pequeños, sería
más fácil excavar en busca de petróleo en el Ártico, lo que significaría un gas más
barato para nosotros. ¡Piense en cuánto más podríamos usar nuestros autos!
¡Podríamos ir a dar largos paseos por el campo!
Richard: ¡me rindo! ¡Josh, eres un caso perdido!
