Driay Of a Wimpy Kid The Meltdown

To Deb

Everyboby in my Neighborhood is outside Today Enjoying the warm weather And sunshine. Well, everyone except ME. It,s Kind of hard to enjoy a heat wave when it,s the Middle of the WINTER.

People are calling this "wacky weather," but it just doesn,doesn't, feel right. Maybe I,m old -Fashioned, but I think it should be cold in the winter and hot in the SUMMER.

I've Heard the whole PLANET is warming up, and that human beings are th
De Reason. but Don't blame ME, Because I just GOT here.

If the world IS getting hotter, I just hope it doesn't happen too FAST. Because if things keep up at THIS rate, I'll be riding a camel to high school.

They say the ice caps are melting and the sea is rising, so I've been trying to Convince Mom and Dad to buy a house higher up on our hill. But they don't seem all that

It kind of makes me nervous that I'm the only one in my family worried about this stuff. because if we don't do something about the situation SOON, we're gonna wish we DID.

It,s not just the Rising sea levels I'm nervous about. Those ice caps have been around for millions of years,
And there could be things buried inside of them that should STAY That way.

I saw a movie about a caveman who got frozen in ice, and when it melted thousands of years later he was still ALIVE. I don't know if that kind of thing could actually happen in real life, but if there ARE unfrozen caveman walking around these days, the night Janitor at my school might be one of them.

If we DO figure a way out of this climate mess, it's probably gonna be someone from my generation who solves it. That's why I'm always nice to the SMART kids, because THEY'RE the ones who are gonna save our butts.

Whatever the answer is, I guarantee you TECHNOLOGY is gonna be the key.

Grown--ups are always saying that too much technology is BAD for kids, but I say the more the BETTER.

In fact, as soon as I can afford one of those high-tech toilets that learns all your habits, I'm gonna get the most expensive model.

Some people worry that one day we'll lose control of our technology and robots will take OVER.

Well, If that happens, I'm gonna make sure I,m on THELR side.

I've actually been PREPARING for when the robots take over by sucking up to the appliances in my house.

So when there's a giant robot/human war in the future I'll be patting myself on the back for thinking ahead

My brother Rodrick says that in the future people will have robot boby parts, and we'll all be CYBORGS.

We'll, I hope I don't have to wait too long for that, because because if I could buy myself a pair of robot legs, I could get a half hour of extra sleep each morning.

I guees we don't really know what's gonna happen in the future. and you could drive yourself CRAZY worrying about it.

Even if we solve all the problems we have right now, some NEW thing will come along, and then we'll have to deal with THAT.
