Cool, let me add this to my apocalypse bingo card.
Could the planet just hurry up and kill us already? I’m exhausted with all the teasing about “maybe I’m going to burn you in a fire” or “maybe I’m going to kill the oceans and let you starve” or “maybe I’m gonna blot out the sun with volcanic ash”… just pick one and extinct us already, before we make it worse.
It will be all of these and more, and it will continue to work to kill us slowly. Not a single event, but thousands over years, it has already begun and we're only accelerating it.
Some of us will survive to see the later parts of this century, but it will be a different world than pre-2000.
Heat has already been a killer.
Floods and hurricanes have already wreaked havok.
Water scarcity has caused deaths.
Ecosystems ravaged by humans are past their first stages of collapse.
And it's all getting worse.
We can try our best, but it won't be enough.
I just hope to care for those around me and try to spread good.
To help a starfish.
