Likely due to (everyone’s sole spaceship) Earth’s large size, there seems to be a general collective human obliviousness and/or apathy towards our abuse of the natural environment, particularly when it’s not immediately observable.

It’s as though throwing non-biodegradable garbage down a dark chute, or pollutants emitted out of exhaust and drainage pipes, or spewed from sky-high jet engines and very tall smoke stacks—or even the largest contamination events—can somehow be safely absorbed into the air, sea, and land (i.e. out of sight, out of mind); like we’re inconsequentially dispensing of that waste into a black-hole singularity, in which it’s compressed into literal nothing.

To mega-money-minded men, ‘practical’ greenhouse-gas-reducing solutions will always be predicated on economic ‘reality’, the latter which is mostly created and entrenched according to fossil fuel industry interests. Indeed, for a leader to try reworking this ‘reality’ would seriously risk his/her own governance, however a landslide election victory he/she may have won.
Though there’s resultant political unwillingly to effectively address the immense environmental corruption and destruction at the hand of we reckless and greedy humans, apparently there’s plenty of ostrich syndrome to maintain it.

Fuck the coal industry and everyone who works in it, the voted for that abortion now they can all reap the nothing it provided.
