I've stopped caring. I used to. I used to care a lot.

Denial Anger<- right here Bargaining Depression Acceptance

Now I just watch. Hoping I get to see the fuckers responsible choke on the smog of thier own bullshit before I do.

Sure, I still do what I can on my end, grow my own food, solar panels, recycling, the whole nine yards. But it's not like that's going to do anything. Just makes my carbon footprint less.

I fantasize about the moment when the morons in charge realize it. They won't admit it of course, but you'll see it, they'll start building bunkers, shelters, try to get off the planet. And then fail, and then do a last pathetic little hail mary to try and fix things, fail. And then bitch and moan and scream all the way to the fucking grave.

And finally. When most or all of us are dead; and the biosphere of earth has reduced 95%, things will start to get better.

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more...
