  • We're causing so much damage that it would be like a headache after recovering from the plague.

    Ohhhh. Right. Like chemo & radiation therapy then. Find the happy medium of lethality. Viruses. Cross Ebola with coryza. It will only kill all megafauna.
  • I'm reading about the first civilisations around the world at the moment. And how a number fell apart, or at least cities therein did, as rains failed or rivers changed their course or got silted up... Nothing new under the sun. Except we know what we are doing is having a devastating impact, but we continue on... Which makes me despair.

    I doubt we'll go out with a bang. It will be a whimper. Slowly fading away like the fog on a winter's day. With unnecessary suffering. And that is sad.
  • Dah.

  • Woe, wow and thrice bollocks.
