Gobble warming perpetuates climate change! No longer a theory; it's a fact. Scientists say we cannot do anything to prevent this; we waited too long. We will experience significant climate events that will lead to the extinction of many species, perhaps even Mankind. The world's reefs are dying at an alarming rate, and the fish will soon follow. The plankton will die as the temperatures rise and microplastics saturate our oceans. Carbon dioxide won't be stored in Earth's oceans, nor its juggles, for we've polluted one and cut the other down. We will be in serious trouble when temperatures climb high enough to release the methane gas locked up in the permafrost. The cold ocean waters will warm and swell from the heat, disrupting currents that will negatively impact the weather, leaving many counties underwater while forcing tens of millions into mass migration. There are over seven billion humans dependent on Earth's resources. But we have failed as stewards of the planet, and it may well eradicate us in the process of recovery. There's little chance of Divine intervention, but let us pray; there’s nothing else we can do. It's out of our hands; it's up to God and fate to get us through.

Well done, Emile! You just expressed one of the most demons of reality and I choose to collect this as a reminder of things to come as H.G.Wells once said. This is a cruel reminder but it is deserving of a big placement. Bravo, Amigo!
