A local investment property owner from Betoota Grove has today celebrated his 60th birthday in style.
The semi-retired legal practitioner who once held moderately progressive social and economic views has brought in a new decade surrounded by friends and family.
Despite his oldest grandchild (9), who will grow up in a climate of anxiety and likely crisis, sitting on his lap while he blew out the candles on his birthday cake, Clark Wilson said he’s celebrating the big 60 by no longer believing in climate change.
After the formalities of the candles and cake cutting where done, the local lawyer said he’s overjoyed with the present to himself.
“It’s a bit of a weight off my shoulders,” he laughed.
“I’ve finally made it over the line where I don’t have to worry too much about climate change anymore.”
“As a relatively wealthy local white-collar home and investment property owner I’ve probably got another 25 or so years left and that means it probably won’t ruin my life, so I’m out.”
“From now on, climate change isn’t an issue I have to worry about anymore.”
“I’m a self-made man who overcame the obstacles of free education, an extremely cheap housing market, world-class health care and a booming economy in relatively egalitarian society, and it did me good,” he explained.
“So this next lot can overcome their own generational obstacles like the rest of us did!”
“Fuck, it feels so good to not have to pretend anymore,” he sighed.
“I’m free.”
