It seems that the heat does not affect the reality principle

You must have slept badly tonight because of the heat, and surely you can no longer stand living with a sweaty back. And when you see how the temperature line on the TV3 weather forecast climbs for this weekend, you could start crying. And in case you had any doubt, the shaky and sad voice of Meteocat had to tell us: Catalonia has experienced the hottest summer in its entire recorded history.

And it is similar everywhere. The World Meteorological Organization has warned that we are headed towards exceeding limits that will bring more heat and, therefore, more droughts and violent floods. Because we already know how this goes: if one day it deigns to cool down, the atmosphere will find the sea water temperature ready to provide us with biblical downpours.

This is the reality. But it seems it is the reality for people like you, not for everyone. When it comes to the climate, you do not hear any of the oracles who always come at you with that solemn "principle of reality" demanding that economic activity and government action be oriented according to the principle of reality. It seems that realism only applies to dreamers who want to increase rights and freedoms. In the time of the Process we heard it said every day. On the other hand, interest groups with the capacity to put their profits ahead of the collective benefit do not even flinch, because they hear about global warming and, for them, it's fine, they just turn on the air conditioning.

Atmospheric phenomena have long been demonstrating that they not only have the capacity to stop everything, but also to destroy everything. But here we are: escalating wars or planning our next vacation, as if global warming were a craze of four exaggerators that will not affect crops or displace millions of people. It is clear that we only react based on tragedies (especially if the tragedy allows for business).
