It is sort of an open secret that science is so compartmentalized that the whole picture of the state of the biosphere and environment is not able to be made apparent. All we hear about are the pieces and can’t see how it is all linked together or how the whole picture looks.
The reality is that things are grim and we have long passed the point where the world in 50 years can look anything like it did 30 years ago.
The fond memories of your childhood experiencing the beauty and wonder in the variety of the creatures that share the planet with us will not be something you can give future generations because prior generations stole it.
You grew up in a wold that dies slowly in front of your eyes until it became nothing but memories and photographs. Nothing can be done to change this reality. No act of personal responsibility, no activism, no petition, no technology, no government, no corporate philanthropy can change what will come. A magic wand, a miracle, or a technology indistinguishable from a miracle magic wand is the only thing that can save the natural world of your childhood from becoming the “sure Gran(pa/ma/das)” story your grandparents told you about the unbelievable experiences of their childhood.

there are still profits to be made, right up until the moment our globally interconnected civilization topples over and crumbles into specks of petty squabbling hungry pseudostates trying vainly to resist the unrelenting tides of climate refugees. Therefore, the issues will be ignored as long as profits can still be made.
We’re gonna see cults, carnies and crusaders all promising easy solutions that range from <persecute this minority because DIETYX says to> to <buy our wonder-tonic today>. Apparently we elected one of these very idiots to lead the country.
shit is gonna get wild.
