"The Anthropocene: The age of Mankind" - 2017 Documentary...

There were no surprises here for me, perhaps because I have been paying attention to these issues since the 1970's, since reading Dr. Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb.

Practically no one wants to learn how very destructive we humans have been. While killing off 100,000's of species, we're ensuring our own will die too. I suppose all of this comes as a horrible shock to folks who are just now learning of the devastation.

I'm certainly not going to bludgeon you for your "histrionics" as others call it and are doing. I appreciate your emotional response and welcome you to the ever painful "environmental awoke mode."

Keep preaching but, as you're learning, you must tone it down some or suffer the wrath you're getting.

Take care.
