I am a Cassandra and I see humans ruining their home, i.e. #biosphere everywhere. #Pollution of land and sea. #Deforestation everywhere. #CO2 and #Methane dumped with abundance. #Overfishing #SeaLeveRise #FactoryFarming Will there be any #WildAnimals left? But no worries - some genius will think of a fix - so let's party. #TippingPoints???????
