Problem is, this will not happen suddenly but gradually. Right now climate change not only is making conditions worse for us but other species thousands of which are going extinct. We have created the sixth greatest extinction of this planet. Many of us are very concerned but it seems a typical reaction to many is to simply deny the problem and are going ahead full steam.

@pedigojr Many do not seem to realize, or not want to realize, what is going on. In this respect we are much like the frog that can be boiled in a slow heating pan of water. They tell me he did not know to jump out. I admit that greed is a driver in all of this and the greedy are there to tell us nothing is going on. It is not real, etc. People today have what I call a Burger King attitude. They want it their way and they want it right now. If people are conditioned not to see anything going on then nothing is really happening. This will do us all in.

@DenoPenno I agree and the boiling frog syndrome has been around a long time. Too bad most humans are very short sighted.

I agree.

Nice to see you again. Anything you post has not been available to me. Missed you.

@DenoPenno Absolutely. We are our own worst enemies. The individual who says "I'm only one person... how much damage can I do"... and the greedy capitalist who ravishes the planet with impunity.

@pedigojr indeed--as TS Eliot wrote:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper. 

@Gwen_Wanderer

Nor did it start with a bang.

@yvilletom Tom, you mean no big explosion? Too many think our world and universe started when a tiny package was opened up with a bang. IDK coz I was not there. Maybe no sound at all except that I do read it is all still expanding and they have an ongoing sound recording of it. I also read that space stinks. It reportedly has a burnt smell.
