we're poisoning species we've never even conceived let alone met, truly we are the emperors of earth

quote:

Do you understand the true power of a sovereign? A raw man must kill with his bare hands. The battered warrior, a weapon. The commander, his bellowing voice, the conspirator, a whispered word. But all these pale compared to kingship. A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men die. A true sovereign may murder without a single impulse, or even intent, sight, breath, or even thought of his murder. He is an idiot indifferent to his own violence. He has sublimed the act of obliteration.

That is the meaning of kingship.

With how cold this spring has been both in North America and apparently in Europe I wonder if we've finally hosed the Gulf Stream. It's mid-May and too cold to open the windows, and most of the flowering trees just are not flowering even though they should have done it in April.

our garbage has explored more of the planet than we have

All of human history, since the first tools were made by Homo habilis, has been an unending quest to leave our garbage in new places. First we left our sharp lithic detritus and spent flakes all over South and East Africa, then we left Africa to spread that poo poo to Eurasia, Australia and the Americas. Once we figured out ceramics, we smashed them leaving them all over, including in what is now the Middle of Nowhere deserts of Arizona and the Atacama. Colonialism, Polar explorations, all part of this grand quest, our great drive as a genus, as Homo the Tool User, to leave our poo poo all over.

Whatever ends up evolving after we're gone is going to have some wild takes on our species. We used to live on the same planet they do with radically different physiogonomies.

i saw a nature documentary where these walruses were all jam packed on a small island with a mountain because the ice they normally rest on is gone

and some of em would slowly, clumsily shuffle their asses up this mountain just to get away from all the other walruses

but of course they can't get down, and when they try they just plummet off a cliff and die. instead of dying on the mountain

and anyway...aliens might think we are the walrus :wth:

esp since mount everest might be the only place cool enough to live one day

I used to fear getting old, I'm getting there at 49, but knowing that I've had some good times & am likely to be dead before the worst hits is almost liberating.

Don't get me wrong I try to be as green as possible but it's just a piss in the ocean..

The poll results are about what I expect for a bunch of climate scientists. Hayhoe I wouldn't call an optimist, just someone who understands the scope of the problem and has really good praxis.

There are folks who think that migrating animals will just adapt to migrate through human constructs - like birds taking advantage of cleaned water storage lakes near cities.
