    Very true. I mean, people think rising sea levels just means losing beach front property, and they ignore the cataclysmic chain reaction of mass fish die off, acidification, and severe weather. Not to mention the increasing temperatures are allowing for pathogens - in particularly fungi to adapt to higher average temperatures, which means humans (and other mammals) won’t be able to use fevers to fight them off. We’ll continue to see more novel diseases, pandemics, etc. It’s for the best anyway. The sooner the earth can get rid of us, the sooner it can return to equilibrium.
