    I always think it’s interesting when I read these stories. No matter how bad it gets. No matter how many red flags are raised no one is going to do a single thing. Our governments are completely failing us by doing nothing useful.

      Europe’s governments are doing a pretty tight job, I feel personally. Actually a LOT of proper handling of issues. I’m surprised over the decades, honestly. I voted no to EU back then, but now I’d see it as an obvious yes, even if this or that cunt got rich in the process. It’s still a sane fucking system, it’s just under attack from organized trolls with nukes.

      Part of the problem is that our atmosphere and oceans are shared across the planet. Stop fishing one spot? Another country will poach the fish. Stop buying oil/coal from one country and they just sell it to another.

      I’m not trying to justify not doing anything. When it comes to our oceans and atmosphere we will need a global effort but localized efforts can still help and will teach us what is effective.
