I don't know if climate change is either real or our fault, frankly I don't really care, as a species we are absurd, we crap where we eat with abandon, there's getting to be as much plastic in the ocean as there are fish, we drive round in absurdly large cars we don't need meanwhile a guy in Mexico who can barely feed his kids grows produce for me so cheap that I let 1/3rd of it go to waste and just throw it away.
None of this is neccersary, gas should cost a fortune, food should be expensive enough that we can't afford to waste it while the guy growing and picking it can live a decent life, most people should have to catch trains or buses, we should be forced to be a less wasteful more frugal people, half the world goes to bed hungry while I have a fridge damn near as big as a small car. My existence is obscene, I don't blame ISIS for hating us, I hate us. We are pigs in the west, if the fear of death is what it takes for us to stop being pigs so be it, I'm happy to go along.
