First the climate came for the coral reefs, and I did not speak up because I am not a marine invertebrate.
Then, the climate came for the rest of the arthropods, and I did not speak up because I only have two legs.
Then, the climate came for the fishes of the sea, and I did not speak up because I do not have gills.
Then, the climate came for the plants, and I did not speak up because I am not a tree.
Then, the climate came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's not the climate coming after anything, it's people they are after everything... Total control and consumption of everything in sight. Our economic system takes for granted everything that is free and is provided gratis by the environment. If we accounted for the cost to every little thing that is provided for free and paid dues to the entire environment, animals and so on, economic activity would be at a standstill and maybe we, and the environment we live in, would last a few more million years.
