The Holocene Extinction, better known as The Big Six by professionals in that field. May also be annotated as The Plastic Apocalypse.
Haven't you heard? Autocracy is all the rage these days. Just where have you been, darling?
Check out the movie In The Heart of the Sea. Got moderate reviews, but you might find something about it you enjoy.
Crazy, right wing politian, sold out Argentina to privitize. Stocks went up at first, but was soon met with out of control inflation. Now he has to cancel diplomatic trips abroad to deal with the dumpster fire he stoked back home.
Melville opens his epic sea faring tale by stating people are inexplicably drawn to the sea. I think it is due to one of the most painful, drawn out, and reoccuring emotion: regret.
If rights can be revoked, then they were never rights, only a privilege.
Also pay attention to the arc of Argentina over the last few years.

Oh I disagree. The earth has had the slate nearly wiped clean by deep freezes, choking clouds of dust, acidic rain. Oceans have swelled, mountains both made and unmade, flaming chunks of molten earth have come down like hail in the city of Dis. Nature's primal fury, glassing the earth with her lightning, and continent wide swaths of molten rock, driving the oceans back.
We've already seen that stuff before, it's written in the earth. What we haven't seen is a poisoning event on a global scale. And it wasn't random cosmic chance, either. We did this. Intelligent design.
If the oceans fail, all life will fail. If we've truly hit a point of no return, it will be interesting to see what will come of it all. The most unfortunate part is we won't be able to see how the planet recovers.
I hope nature takes back the world, and is able to make something of it again. We have been proven to be irresponsible stewards and are unworthy of the bounty.
