Human extinction: Not with a bang but a sore throat...
I just got a small taste of what it's gonna be like here on Planet
Earth in the year 2028 -- and, frankly, it scared the holy crap out of
me. "So. What happened," you might ask. Long story.
First of all, a massive curtain of toxic smoke from that huge NorCal
wildfires slowly descended on my own hometown recently. We all struggled
around in gas masks and it became rather hard to breathe.
Next I foolishly started thinking, "What's a little haze in the air?
I'm young. I'm strong. I don't need no stinking gas masks." Ha.
And then I got a horrible sore throat. My eyes watered. My nose ran.
I constantly coughed. I took to my bed. I truly thought that I
was going to die.
But I didn't.
But I could have.
And that, dear readers, was my own personal sneak-preview experience of
what death by climate catastrophe will be like in the year 2028.
Your experience could be different, of course. You could freeze to
death -- or drown in a flood or get hit by a tornado. But for most of
us? It will be one long, painful and ignominious Death by Sore Throat.
PS: And what will be the main cause of this massive human-extinction event? No, it won't be because you or I didn't drive a Prius or because we
forgot to recycle or even because we took too many jet plane rides on
vacation.
No, Extinction '28 will be mostly caused by all those petty little
"wars" that our idiot leaders in Washington DC, London, Tel Aviv and
Saudi Arabia are so very fond of. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/12/01/if-you-murdered-a-bunch-of-people-mass-murder-is-your-single-defining-legacy/
Their constant and heartless mega-bombing of Yemen not only murders
school children in Sanaa but it also is murdering us too -- only slower. https://theintercept.com/2018/12/01/u-s-military-says-it-has-a-light-footprint-in-africa-these-documents-show-a-vast-network-of-bases/
