Rage Blackout: Part II

Hey,

Get ready for another really short post. I'm on a winter spiral of sad panda right now, so the challenges will totally respect that. This post is also full of homicidal rage. Actually. So, don't be too offended--I'm just belligerent. You have been forewarned. 

Challenge 33: Please for the love of Christ wake the fuck up. You heard me--behold the following links:

Trees are dying:

We can't stop the damage we've done:

Goodbye Adirondak Region (I'm looking at you, all of upstate/central New York)

We're screwed, prepare thy suicide capsules:

Oh, and there is no more arctic, fyi:

We are incapable of listening to reason/science (this is not really news, but still)

There isn't going to be any 'adapting' to future climate degree rises. There's only going to be 'dying' and 'no more humans on earth-ing' and 'say goodbye to every species but cockroaches-ing'

Now, loyal blog readers, it's not really you guys who need to wake the fuck up--but I bet you know someone who does. Spread the word.

Challenge 34 : Be the Lorax, speak for the trees/fish/sustainable food/whatever

It won't change unless we change it. It won't. And if any of those links are any indication, it is clear that most of us are just sitting around waiting for other people to change things. We're the generation that's getting fucked over. And we're watching it happen. Speak for the trees. Be a Lorax. Stop accepting it.

End. Scene.

 Sorry this post was full of doom and gloom--if you feel a little sad, welcome to every minute of my life because I spend my whole day looking at this stuff. If you feel an overwhelming sense of dread--don't worry, it's totally normal.

Hopefully next week I can bring myself to write something a little more chipper. 

Oh and this, apparently Muppets are communists:

If you fuck with the Muppets--you fuck with me. And I don't think anything designed to get people to needlessly spend money is starting the anti capitalist revolution, as much a I love the Muppets.
