climate woes
saving the planet is not the concern.
life on this planet will persist. if you ask us, and many ecologists we know, wiping out all life on Earth is beyond the capability of humanity.
we can, however, wipe ourselves out.
we, who depend on so much, stand to lose the most from our own actions. if we don't change things now, we're going to drive ourselves to extinction. maybe it's already too late.

if we're so keen on wiping ourselves out, we could at least have the decency to make it quick.
slowly warming up the climate until all our food sources die and the air becomes unbreathable is a pretty painful way to go, and will cause the most suffering to the least deserving, over generation after generation.
if we're trying to wipe ourselves out, surely we could do it more mercifully, more courageously.

maybe we're doomed to slide into the darkness no matter what we do, but we'll be fighting the whole way down with anything we can find to fight with.
