Humans, a most-willing participant, whip the climate forward, howling maniacs snapping their economic depends at the burning landscape, spitting flames into the skies and onto the net, all the while expecting the wide cracks harboring their brain trust to make a safe landing in the oily excrement of their making. A mad program to corral an all-daring Gaia.
Corporate interests stand proud, boys and girls forcing a cease-and-desist upon the planet. Zombies-in-a-blanket wrapped in their Christmas Eve trust-cover, suckle up, protecting themselves–friendships stratified by panic and portfolio. That past of irresponsibility promised us by the store-bought-mass-media, paid for by fossil fools, must continue. The masters, non-human, undead philistines, speak in an Ayn-Rand-fuck-you-anyway-dialect to the living. Fostering sycophant front-folk (wry smiled held at bay) a flow of oil-soaked money, scheming and swindling, murder and extortion, corporatists extol progress hoping to choke conviction.
Absurdly, we of the fodder-class dawdle. Fearing death may contact us in an apocalyptic thriller, expecting digital heroes to technology-the-shit out of planetary physics; unaware, the zombies-in-a-blanket will not fund the effort because…
“The problem is too many people, stupid.”
This means you!
In 2004, I wrote that climate change will be an event of political will and through unified political clarity our society can overcome the Breath-of-the-Beast we call Greenhouse Gases. Golly, was I surprised. The only ones who paid attention were fossil fuels companies and their allies.
The PC Environmentalists belched out flaccid plans for addressing the climate crisis–through portfolio enhancement. 350.org? Are you fucking kidding me? The fodder-class just smirked. No wonder the ruling class sees us as chimps in latitude wrapped in failure.
“Work within the system,” The PCE bleat. The mankind-is-evil-environmentalists, sacrifice nothing, except self-respect, harvest disaster to pay for their Prius–hoping to slip through life before the main event begins–oops, too late. The energized climate regime dawns deadly days beyond experience (I just love alliteration, don’t you?) Don’t scare them, I was told. Fuck that.
Be current. Okay. Infrastructure repair will take too damn long to complete once the energized climate begins the next cycle. We need to concentrate on solutions, not green-wash-band-aids. If we continue behind the curve, we are toast.
(In defense of the current Administration–they are trying. Unlike the previous buffoons-in-a-box.)
Net zero GHG emissions was impossible–the grifter’s mantra. Bad news: Now we must go negative GHG emissions. (Doesn’t that fucking suck?) For decades, we sat around confused. (Whoosh–carbon intensity matters.) Political will, strangled by the petroleum propaganda product, kept bold action to address anthropogenic forcing of the radiative balance off course for decades. (Sorry kids–we were too busy to pay attention.)
The fires, the floods, the droughts, the pandemics, madness at our doorstep, sea level rise, thermohaline modifications (the Gulf Stream decaying), climate migration–but we have achieved a new stock market high. Soon sea level will also hit a new modern-day high as well. “Break out the champagne and life rafts!” “Two batteries please, with salsa.”
The oceans’ new horror, pulses of change in the seas, is staged to become the real life nightmare of our future. Go ahead, fucking tell me you haven’t had dreams of ocean waves washing up, shattering glass doors. Our future cries to us in a collective nightmare. Extinction stalks us. Or were you waiting for a report from the (Comcast, Disney, CBS, Viacom, News Corporation, ATT) News?
The madding crowds of desperate, distraught parents and marginalized men have not yet even rioted too much…yet…near you…
No future reflects our past. From now on, our daily life changes, more chaotic every year, every season, every burned gallon of fossil fuel, until we are dead–Hell brought forth by of your fossil fuels Cartel. Because they are the mother-fuckers that hid the validity of human impact on the climate for forty years. To be clearer: The stockholders of the fossil fuel companies have sacrificed your life and the lives of your children for the health and well-being of their equities. The fossil fuels companies via their C-level have purposefully brought forth death and destruction by hiding and just-plain lying about the impact of wide-scale oxidation of fossil fuels–exclusively to protect corporate citizens. (Can you say stranded assets?) The Cartel acquired politicians. (Remember the idiot with the snowball on the Senate floor?)
The (Comcast, Disney, CBS, Viacom, News Corporation, ATT) News orchestrates a unified political fight against corporate power–that somehow results in mockery and defeat. How odd.
The soulless fossil fuel power structure that once supported progress must be kicked to the curb.
Instead, we have:
“Step aside old man and let us live.” “Nope. Fuck you.” “Oh. Okay. Sorry. Perhaps, Sir, you would not rape me economically. I am happy to suck your corporate tit. Then maybe healthcare. Perhaps? Sir? Sir?”
Science can’t convince you to unify and fight the common enemy: a failing fossil-fuel-based power structure. Only recognizing the truth and the future it heralds allows us a winning strategy against the common enemy. The fossil fuels cartel will not step aside–ever. Be proactive, hopefully before human experience obliterates itself against the laws of planetary physics.
But, what about the tipping-point? Who the fuck cares? Stand up. Or die.
Or perhaps you don’t understand? The Summer Of ’21 is the good old days.
