Why does the climate want privacy?
It is changing.

It is a very serious matter though when people think of climate change, they disregard it or overlook it. Yet this “winter” has been quite unpredictable and definitely an eye-opener for anyone who thinks global warming isn’t a thing, I guess you were a bit wrong. The talk by Aaron Sachs, Associate Professor, Department of History, and House Fellow at Flora Rose House was great in that it shared how some of the best comedy in American history has arisen as “gallows humor,” as he calls it, in the face of these difficult circumstances. It was nice to see that even in pressing times, America finds a way to laugh. 

It was nice to hear that these environmentalists are also people in that they too have humor. I liked the idea of having comedy included as we discuss these important issues, because let’s face it, everything is delivered better when we can laugh about it. I can’t help but think of another example in which comedy is used to illustrate dark and deep topics; the Madea series. Anyone who knows anything about Madea is that she is one funny woman. She is easily entertaining to watch however when you actually watch an entire Madea film, the main storyline is often one people typically deem as a tough subject matter such as domestic abuse, racism and familial problems. Tough Madea acts as comedic relief, the audience gets the main message. If done effectively, I think that using comedy in the trying to get the message across will be beneficial and engage even younger audiences that can grow up and be environmental leaders of tomorrow.
