Industrial toxins swirling from surface to sea floor, and of course, the decline of plankton without which we oxygen breathers are pretty much fucked.

Our Ocean is just one of many fronts our planet’s 1% overlords and their payed puppets allow a largely ignorant, overwhelmed, and apathetic populous to fight back on using mostly corporate approved and media hyped greenwash tactics.

We are deep, deep into Earth’s 6th mass extinction event. It’s sad really, because this truly is a lovely place for life.

And, the Climate Catastrophe rumbles on whiteout even a hint that the colossal response needed is being mustered anywhere.

Finally, and in light of that which will inevitably lose, our corporate and political handlers allow us to argue about scripted minusculities and pretend we are in control of our own destiny.

We'd best start be worrying about the fate of our own civilization in an increasingly hostile environment.

Personally, If I was Emperor of Earth, I'd have banned most commercial fishing a long time ago. Just me and my Klingon Battlecruiser.

When the Space Whale of Star Trek IV passes by Earth again it's going to be pissed.

Coral reefs produce a major amount of the oxygen we breathe and climate change is killing the reefs.
