I grew up on the Trek original series. I wanted that future.

The grand capitalists stole that future from us. It's as if, collectively, they want to destroy the planet.

Climate change is profitable. It will open the Arctic to shipping and oil drilling.

It will make it so that only Monsanto crops will grow.

We will all be sick from pollution, non-nutritious food, and cosmic rays, and hopelessly dependent on pharmaceuticals.

It will be worse for you. You will live through more of it than I.

Keeping yourself physically and mentally fit is your best defense.
