Science has been screaming at the top of their lungs for just about my entire life and there has been no real progress made to halt the destruction of the earth's biosphere. Science now says we only have about 30 years left before the next great extinction, which will include at the very least human civilization, if not the entire human race. Along with most aquatic life, animals and insects as well.

So, as Douglas Adams so famously said, So Long and Thanks For All the Fish.
