Microplastics Are Making Photosynthesis Harder for Plants—and That Could Slash Crop Yields, Study Suggests in c/futurology@futurology.today

Oh I disagree. The earth has had the slate nearly wiped clean by deep freezes, choking clouds of dust, acidic rain. Oceans have swelled, mountains both made and unmade, flaming chunks of molten earth have come down like hail in the city of Dis. Nature's primal fury, glassing the earth with her lightning, and continent wide swaths of molten rock, driving the oceans back.

We've already seen that stuff before, it's written in the earth. What we haven't seen is a poisoning event on a global scale. And it wasn't random cosmic chance, either. We did this. Intelligent design.

If the oceans fail, all life will fail. If we've truly hit a point of no return, it will be interesting to see what will come of it all. The most unfortunate part is we won't be able to see how the planet recovers.

I hope nature takes back the world, and is able to make something of it again. We have been proven to be irresponsible stewards and are unworthy of the bounty.

They could have just worked for the prison system, then they'd get a regular paycheck to enforce slavery.

The Holocene Extinction, better known as The Big Six by professionals in that field. May also be annotated as The Plastic Apocalypse.

Check out the movie In The Heart of the Sea. Got moderate reviews, but you might find something about it you enjoy.

Crazy, right wing politian, sold out Argentina to privitize. Stocks went up at first, but was soon met with out of control inflation. Now he has to cancel diplomatic trips abroad to deal with the dumpster fire he stoked back home.

Melville opens his epic sea faring tale by stating people are inexplicably drawn to the sea. I think it is due to one of the most painful, drawn out, and reoccuring emotion: regret.

If rights can be revoked, then they were never rights, only a privilege.
