  1. I’ve felt growing “alarm” about this ever since I realized a couple decades back that folks simply were **not** gonna take it seriously until after it was far too late to turn back. As I watch one “tipping point” after another fall in the news, and politicians continue to argue over whether scientific **facts** are even **real**, I’ve come to realize that humanity (or at least our “civilization” and everything worthwhile that we’ve built) is in **extreme** peril, and there’s literally **nothing** I can do about it. I can only **imagine** the absolute despair of some of the climate and environmental scientists who understand all this much better than I ever will. Dunno how folks can watch all this happen and take it so calmly. I mean we’re facing a literal existential crisis here, and our “leaders” would rather make war, or game the stock market, or whatever other corrupt garbage they choose to get up to behind closed doors, and there’s a very **real** possibility of one of the most corrupt presidents ever to get re-elected to continue his rampage of stupidity. Yay, humans! Smartest creatures in the entire Universe!
