Slow death

The frog, when it falls into a jar of boiling water, senses the problem and instantly jumps out, but when the same frog sits in a jar of luck warm water and the water is heated slowly, it cant sense the gradual temperature rise and remains inside well past the point of physical damage. Our collective nervous system is quite similar to that of this frog short-sighted, unable to detect any trouble (read climate change) that appears to grow slowly, even though its actually speeding in.

this is not the point guys... the point of it is that we as humans are able to just sit there while we know something is going wrong. we know its going wrong but we don't do something about it.

However if a situation is bad from the start we will not go there at all. this is the point of it. not if a frog is cold blooded or not, just forget about the frog and be less stupid about it! thats the whole problem ! humans are stupid!

@FreonRose Frogs are cold blooded creature.

interesting. wonder why the nervous system has trouble sensing the increasing temperature.
