Greed is not good.
Human Civilization has now entered the Apotheosis of High-Bullshit Era.
The grass in the Heartland is being reduced to cracked earth & burnt straw. Think: massive system-wide drought.
The Climate Catastrophe is Here/Now. It is not a movie, it is not entertainment.
The Tricky Monkeys have Out-Tricked Themselves, and it is very not funny in a kind of funny way.
There may be a formula written on our man-made toxic & noxious wind: As the Climate Catastrophe rolls out across the planet, the Bullshit/Disinformation tsunami will only grow & get worse. A mutually self-fulfilling fatal embrace.
Gaia is suffering from a grave illness: Human Greed, Selfishness, Close-minded-ness, Industrialization, Population out of control (like a Cancer).

"They paved Paradise, and put up a parking lot." - Joni Mitchell. And now that parking lot is a crackling and smoking heap of rubble.

*** Personal Note: Maybe not the most important thing in the world right now. There are two kinds of days around here. Good Hair Days and Bad Hair Days. What's kind of funny, the worse I feel, the better my hair looks. Maybe it's a defensive mechanism to keep the predators confused?! Today happens to be a Good Hair Day. My hair happily waving in the storms of catastrophe. Oh, so human. Damn the Torpedoes!
