Clean water is absolutely essential to life. And water scarcity is a growing problem globally. By 2050 half the world’s population may no longer have safe water supplies. But hey…first we need to end peaceful protesting, with violence if necessary.

Our atmosphere, which we treat as vast and invulnerable, is actually shockingly thin and fragile. Without it life on Earth isn’t possible. This protective layer is clearly thinning out as a result of the burning of fossil fuels. But hey…let’s not get derailed from the urgent task of defaming and harassing anyone who doesn’t look like ‘us’, think like ‘us’ or behave like ‘us’.

The health of our oceans is in peril. Considering that oceans generate 50% our oxygen, produce much of our food, and play a gigantic role in regulating our climate, this is potentially catastrophic. But hey…nothing should take precedence over finding ways to take away all those stupid regulations which do nothing but protect consumers.

Microplastics have been discovered in our food, our drinking water, and now our blood. We have no idea yet how threatening this is to our health or to all life, really, but hey…the priority has got to be getting public lands opened up so we can ‘mine and drill, baby, mine and drill’!

By every standard that matters, humans are imperiling life everywhere on the globe. We like to refer to ourselves as ‘homo sapiens’, intelligent humans. But hey…how intelligent can we be, really?
