We're in the kickoff of another mass extinction and it sucks. Especially sucks if you love animals, which I do.
Btw I care more about toxic air pollution than climate gasses and in that realm, fuck internal combustion engines. Living near a road shortens the fuck out of your lifespan. Concern about the climate takes up far more of our zeitgeist than it should, compared to concern about pollution. I believe that may be the point. "Well the planet is probably fucked, but not for 500 years. Oh well, what can I do, and I won't be there /shrug" vs "Less toxic air and ground pollution is going to make it less likely for my children and I to get cancer and/or gynecomastia". Which one allows corporations to pollute more with impunity?
Capitalism is great and all but capitalism is the system bacteria live under. It doesn't give a fuck about the environment and has no answer for protecting the environment. Libertarians thinking tort law is capitalism's answer for environmentalism is hilarious. I wonder how they feel about young people suing corporations about climate change.
