The Environment, The Bad, Is There Any Good Left?

Why are we not mobilized? This is not on every channel? The UN is not marshaling all its resources to make wholesale change? Because we just don’t give a damn, and won’t because it’s too hard, 7+B of us hoarding what we can. We’ll go about our merry way until the crisis smacks us upside the head and we feel discomfort. Then we’ll scurry about in a panic, but it will be too late, que sera. Gaia will feel relief when there are many less billions of us. Sounds biblical. Actually it feels like an apocalyptic simulation I’m playing.

'The one half is in despair and the other, dumber, half is celebrating future mass deaths.

Salome elaborated that some of the uber wealthy people fitting into the first group were saying that those in third world countries 'might all die but us in the North, we're fine'.

She said: 'They say that in a democracy you have to sell it, to lie to people and tell them "we didn't know better and didn't think it would get this bad", not admitting that they know.

'Then there's the other group that thinks it might not be so easy, maybe it will also affect us due to unforeseeable chain reactions.

'But they say they can't do anything against the others so they live following the mantra "after us, the deluge".

'They say they will enjoy a few more nice years on earth and know that there's no future. They are very cynical and somehow deeply sad.'
