The ephemerality of life makes every moment a gift Fragile and precious, our one planet is finite and unique How fucked must our world become before we value life and health more than fucking money? From global warming...to forest felling... this is alarming. Heed now, my warning: Dire future looms ahead unless change occurs in the: - Behavior of ourselves and our leaders - Consumers and producers - Cultures and world views We share crushing burden of living through the Anthropocene. What will the extinction toll be? The scientific data is clear - humanity is responsible for climate change and the Anthropocene - the sixth mass extinction in the history of earth. The situation is spiraling out of control at an exponential rate. Yet some people deny factual data and cling to conspiracies instead. As a scientist, I will tell you this - these problems are immediate and demand a response. Frequent wildfires, flooding, famine, pandemics, and wars fought over resources await humanity if we fail to act. Perpetual decline into extinction Happening before our eyes with frogs and toads They’re among the first victims - more are to come Vigor, vitality...ashen mortality Action is urgent - we can’t waste single moment Coral reefs bleach. Glacier ice melts into the sea. When will life croak?
