In most movie depictions of Roman warriors riding around in chariots, there is a lot of armor, but precious little clothing.\u00a0 I thought this was designed to show off the muscular physiques of the actors, like Brad Pitt, but now realize it may have just been historically accurate.\u00a0 Scientist foolishly relying on real data have discovered that it was a lot hotter then.\u00a0 It seems indisputable that the rapid industrialization of the world by the Romans must have caused global warming.\u00a0 When you think about it, this makes a lot of sense.\u00a0 It was certainly hot.\u00a0 The Romans had a ton of chariots and they required horses to pull them at high speed.\u00a0 Just think of what this was doing to our atmosphere.\u00a0 In addition, Rome built all those roads and viaducts.\u00a0 It is staggering to imagine the impact on our environment.\u00a0 It is a miracle we survived.<\/p>\n

If only the Romans could have enjoyed the brilliant political leadership of people like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the world could have been spared.\u00a0 Restrictions would have been put on the number, size and weight of chariots.\u00a0 Chariot drivers would have been required to limit the hours of operation for horses with mandatory rest periods and a healthy diet of oats and carrots.\u00a0 Roman warriors would have been prohibited from riding in chariots, except in approved combat situations requiring prior written authorization from the Roman Senate.\u00a0 This might even require approval directly from Caesar.\u00a0 Armor would be closely regulated, reducing size and weight to lighten the load.\u00a0 In a vigorous campaign against obesity, Roman warriors would have been limited to people weighing less than a healthy, for the time, 150 pounds.\u00a0 In addition, 50% of Roman warriors would have been female.\u00a0 Physical fitness and strength requirements would have been modified to prevent discrimination.<\/p>\n

Of course this would have resulted in the death of a lot of Roman warriors, hastening the onset of the dark ages.\u00a0 But, according to this report, it was at least cooler then.\u00a0 Saving the global environment always requires some sacrifice.<\/p>\n
