The Planet's CEO is on PTO

Rohan Chakravarty, the mind behind Green Humour, has mastered the art of being both hilarious and profoundly educational without ever being preachy. His style is characterized by:

 

1.  Anthropomorphism: Animals talk, debate, and comment on human follies.

 

2.  Sharp Satire/Puns: Witty wordplay and subtle mockery of human policies and habits.

 

3.  Scientific Detail: Accuracy in depicting species and explaining ecological concepts, often as a casual "in-joke" between animals.

 

Here is an article dedicated in that spirit:

A Nature Column by a Highly Opinionated Dugong

 

The first rule of Climate Change is: you do not talk about Climate Change. Unless, of course, you can blame it on a faulty thermostat or a particularly aggressive solar flare. Humanity, bless its cotton socks (if those cotton socks weren't polluting a river), has elevated denial into an art form.

 

Frankly, we, the Wild Things, are exhausted. Our resident expert, Dr. Pangolin, who generally keeps to himself and definitely doesn't roll into a defensive ball every time he sees a human with a backpack, had an interesting observation last week.

 

"The problem," Dr. Pangolin mumbled, mid-ant-snack, "is not the carbon. It's the Anthropocene Hubris."

 

He's right. The human species, in a magnificent feat of self-deception, decided it was the CEO of Planet Earth. The problem is, the planet never got the memo. Now, the actual CEO—Nature, in all her complex, self-regulating glory—has clearly checked out for a long sabbatical, leaving a few rather frantic interns in charge. And those interns? They keep calling a meeting to discuss "maximising quarterly profits" by liquidating the atmosphere.

 

The Sustainability Olympics: Where Everyone Gets a Plastic Medal

 

We keep hearing about Sustainability. It’s the new buzzword—a glorious, all-encompassing term that basically means "trying not to ruin everything, immediately."

 

Humans love to give themselves medals for the bare minimum. You switched to a bamboo toothbrush? Excellent. Here is a participation trophy carved from a freshly felled tropical hardwood. You started carrying a reusable coffee cup? Bravo. That cup will now sit on your dashboard next to three half-filled plastic water bottles you forgot were there.

 

The truth is, true sustainability is not about swapping out one product for another; it's about reducing the need for the product in the first place. My Dugong cousins and I have been practising true sustainability for millennia. We live in the same place, eat the same seagrass (sorry, it's not a latte of options), and don't require an annual upgrade of our blubber-to-tail propulsion system. We are the OG Circular Economy.

 

The Case of the Missing Ice and the Very Confused Polar Bear

 

The global warming narrative is already a bad comedy sketch.

 

Scene: Two polar bears are sitting on a tiny ice floe, clearly arguing.

 

Polar Bear 1 (the pessimist): "I told you we should've invested in a kayak. The market for solid water is in free fall."

 

Polar Bear 2 (the climate skeptic): "Relax. It's just a 'mini-melt.' Besides, they promised us the money saved on not buying a sweater would trickle down to fund a global ice-floe transportation network. Have a seal."

 

Meanwhile, on the mainland, a conference is in session where suits are debating the best colour for the carbon-capture pipeline—they've narrowed it down to 'Forest Green' or 'Ocean Blue.' The irony is so thick you could carve a glacier out of it.

 

A Word to the Homo Sapiens

 

Look, we don't need another 300-page UN report with a font size smaller than a mayfly. We need action that doesn't feel like a guilt-trip disguised as a lifestyle change.

 

Here’s the thing: Nature is not a luxury. It is the entire operating system. You don't ask a surgeon for a discounted rate on a bypass surgery; you don't haggle with the planet over the price of breathable air.

 

So, the next time you hear a politician or a corporation wax lyrical about their "net-zero by 2050 targets" (which, for the record, is just an extremely polite way of saying "this problem is for future generations to clean up"), remember this:

 

A Himalayan Marmot doesn't need an MBA to understand that when the snow melts too early, you have a problem. An Olive Ridley Turtle doesn't need an Environmental Impact Assessment to know that a plastic bag looks suspiciously like a jellyfish.

 

Maybe, just maybe, you should listen to the creatures who haven't tried to innovate their way out of common sense.

P.S.: We’re thinking of rebranding 'extinction' to 'voluntary resource streamlining.' Do you think the markets will buy it?
