(12,025 posts)I had already been learning about environmental stuff for decades, watching as the predictions came true, the extinctions sped up, and everyone around me kept ignoring it, consuming like there's no tomorrow.
Some comments here are depressingly stupid and embarrassing.
I already know that most humans can't fathom how our population has jumped and what it means.
I already know that most do not mind wiping out species who were perfectly suited for this world and who've been here way longer than ours.
I already know that most can't imagine past next year, or put our present time in perspective.
I already know that most will not change anything about their consumption, no matter what it could mean.
If I haven't already lost hope in humanity then the comments here from fellow Democrats would make me sad.
One species convinced itself that it's godlike, then it's causing one of the fastest mass-extinctions the planet's ever had.
Our tiny cell of life that's zooming through space is being trashed, it's so cosmically wrong to me. It almost makes me believe in Evil.
