Preaching the avoidance of a 20th potential co2 correlated mass extinction event may appear to be a valid first response to the actual environmental anxiety crisis many of us are experiencing, but this won't work, as we need more clarity and honesty, as we do need to face facts first. The first fact is that we, individually and collectively, don't care. Given the chance, most of us would gladly live the shielded work from home air conditioned suburban suv life in some well irrigated arizonian gated community. We, as a species, are craving exactly that. Second fact, polluting corporations and corrupted officials are only meeting demand. Everybody and their neighbors are demanding ever more fossil energy and mined minerals, like fuels, plastics, trips, entertainment and smart devices. Third fact is my favourite: given the right circonstances, existential crisis are hugely profitable. Think of all these people who would sell a sibling for a chance at migrating to the first world. These people are all ripe for major exploitation, and luckily, some folks are already there to feed them lies and take their cash. Fourth fact is the most amazing one: we could just end all the nonsense if we would just be content and stop demanding. Stop the crave. Stop envy. This is a crisis based on supply and demand. Just stop demanding for what you don't already have. Maybe start doing stuff yourself instead. Stop demand, supply will end. Fifth fact, the most fascinating: nobody will stop demanding, quite the contrary. And we will most probably hit more than a wall. Sixth fact: we will survive this. This is an experimentation in how far we can go given unlimited supply. The answer is: not far.
