CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT: A PARABLE

The patient told the doctor, “I’m running a high fever and it keeps getting worse. I feel bloated all the time. I’m nauseous, I have diarrhea, and also terrible headaches. Can you help me?”

After a thorough examination and a battery of tests, the doctor said, “You need a complete overhaul of your system, a radical change to your diet, and an improved fitness regime. We’ll have to flush all the bad agents from your body. It won’t be easy, it will take a lot of work, but it’s your only hope.”

“Oh, no, no — I couldn’t do that,” said the patient. “It sounds much too difficult!”

Needless to say, the patient died.
