18. I don't emphatically reject your attitude I expect it from someone in thier twilight years

( your words not mine ) not meant in disrespect. I get annoyed with the constant conversation of death because no matter when this impending doom will occur there is still life to live. If it were to happen in the next few hours we still have 3 hours of life and technically there is nothing that says it absolutely has to occur on some short term time scale . I would say doesn't absolutely have to happen at all but extinctions is an inevitability , no matter the cause or time scale.It can, could and might happen in the short term. There is a lot of people who think it will. I think you may be in the same place whether climate change gave you an excuse to be preparing to die or not. I know because do you really think a house wife(happily married) , mother of 3 , worked in the medical profession says hmmm "let me read hundreds of studies that potentially mean my children will die some heinous death". Of course not, You have to already be looking for death. Whatever your reason, old age, your work, death in the family, some eye opening event ect...ect.. I really do not mean that rudely. I watch people, animals, places and things and I see whether I want to or not.
