These are the photos of greed and stupidity, of people who have been complacent, of politicians who have not only failed to act, but pretended like they didn't have to. These are the photos of our lives after politicians and leaders of oil & coal industries, having extracted...
...every last ounce of of fossil fuels and taken trillions in profits--and paid little to the people who did the work--will ignore as they cordon themselves off from the destruction of decades of lies, obfuscation and denial leaving us all with a mortally wounded planet.
These are the photos of our future, only it will be far, far worse in the coming years. This is only a foreshadowing of the terror and disruption to come if we deny what is right in front of us. This is the optimistic view of the landscape you are leaving to your children...
..and grandchildren if they even survive to experience it. Looking away is not an option. Denial is not an option. Unless of course you are so selfish you can't even begin to fathom and own your responsibilities.
