    It’s a sad day for our species, and barely anybody even notices.

    It’s kinda like when you’re hungry and the hunger pains don’t go away until twenty minutes after you’ve started eating so you eat way too much.

    A lot of the major consequences aren’t here yet (enough that denial is still possible). People will notice after it’s already gotten really terrible and it’s beyond obvious that we should’ve done anything at any cost about it.

    Maybe when the arctic circle is springing up palm trees people will understand that it’s not a Chinese hoax.
