Since my earliest memory during the 60’s we have been warning the people that could have avoided the terrible climate disaster we are now facing. They did nothing. They didn’t listen. They even laughed at us. Called us names and labeled us environmental terrorists. We were Terrorists against their capacity for greed that was so extensive it has now reached a point of no return.
Now the run scared like little rats. They are trying to put out the fire they started but it’s too late. Our children are about to inherit a world of our making. One I for one wouldn’t want to survive in.
Droughts, fires, extreme heat, and cold, hurricanes so large they nearly cover entire states, coastal cities and communities vanishing slowly under the waves and more.
We feel powerless because we are. We warned and warned. It was all we could do. The scientist did too. Great thinkers around the world warned. But greed won out and here we are.
This climate crisis is growing at an exponential rate. All you can do now is live in the moment and hug your loved ones and play while you still can.
You were warned but you didn’t listen. That’s the log line of our new film due to be released soon. When we started it back a few months ago things were as bad as they have become today. It is my last breath on this subject. I will never talk about it again. It’s just pointless.
The space program is our only hope now. Just like in the film “Interstellar” we need to keep this torch lit and look for other worlds. We have a right to survive because we choose to. Because we still can. We need that life boat so we can find a new world to live on. And we must learn from our past mistakes and never repeat them again.
Theres still hope, don’t give up.

Well said Steve. It is too late, but it happens to coincide with what will be shortly the end of my life. I am almost 79 and my wife and I have had the privilege of living our whole lives together. I am not ill but my wife is. I don’t expect to see the worst of what is coming. If I squeeze another 10 years out of my rather worn body, I might see some very nasty events. We lived in what was the most prosperous country in the world. (not anymore) We lived a life that we felt was very good. We are grateful for what we have been given.
The human race may not survive this calamity and it will not be the end of our incarnations if it does not survive. We have too much baggage from our past. Our propensity to violence and stupidity seem a bit tribal. It does not work in the world we have today. I realize that nukes could go off at any time. We set things up to kill each other at a moments notice. If not by accident then a slow death by climate change. The mass migrations coming up have already just started. The US will be overwhelmed at its borders.
We have a severely divided country that wants to eliminate the other half. Some people have been physically assaulted for wearing a mask in public. This human insanity is not promising for our survival as a species. We have fallen back to our old tribal ways. Too bad we don’t just have spears and bows to kill each other. It is much more difficult to wipe out a tribe that way. Not to say it has not been done in the past, it has.
If our visitors have any interest, they will have a ringside seat for a very entertaining violent play. I can’t help but wonder if they are thinking, “How could they be this stupid?” our end will make the classic Greek tragedies look like a comedy. If the visitors want to save the planet, they have not made a move yet. My thoughts to saving the planet would be a virus that wipes us out completely. Talking to us reasonably did not work at all. I still remember their advice to stop clear cutting the forests. I thought they were crazy for suggesting such an idea that would lower our standard of living. Our standard is about to find a new low that we, I cannot imagine. My bad.

Michael, if you have seen the film Interstellar I know we are heading there. We will make it to the stars and when we look back we’ll realize what a long hard road it was to them.
But we’ll make it and we’ll tell our children to never repeat what we did before. Each time a human being goes into space a trigger sets off. A switch if you will that changes them forever.
If you pay attention to the people that have gone before and are going now then you’ll notice once they return that their life’s ambitions will change dramatically.Their energies will be poured into saving us this planet and spreading the word of doing so to the world.
We must go against the stupidity, greed, and rage of the low mentality or lose it all. Because they have caused every single problem we have faced on Earth. They failed to look at the stars. We did not. And we matter.
