“Carelessness” is a very generous way to describe we human’s refusal to decouple from fossil fuels, Weis. “Lunacy” is a much more accurate description as far as I’m concerned.

“The emperor penguin’s move to endangered is a stark warning: climate change is accelerating the extinction crisis before our eyes,”

Our #ecocide for #greed first kills other species, but it will get to us, too.

Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money," highlights that ecological destruction cannot be reversed by wealth. It is frequently attributed to the Cree Nation or as a general Native American prophecy.
