"coming" mass extinction?
it's already happened/happening
and i promise you
the incoming administration gives exactly zero fucks
:(
They don't, but at this point does it really matter? The Paris climate agreement is a drop in the bucket... Clinton wouldn't get any significant carbon legislation passed unless Democrats took Congress.

No one believes in the problem. Profits next quarter are too important and the capitalist machine is strong.
People like to think that if a huge meteor was flying towards Earth and getting ready to trigger a mass extinction we as nations would band together and try to work out a global solution. But this is basically happening with pollution and habitat destruction causing climate change and the mass extinction of species over time and nobody is doing anything, and a lot of people don't even think there is a problem because they still see some trees and it still snows.
You're turning into a liberal dude.
I started thinking about the problem a few weeks ago after I bought The Sixth Extinction... I'm up to the 4th extinction at this point in the book.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about it.... it just seems inevitable.
