We share a similar rage, Diana, and I’m really glad you found a way to express it in this powerful piece. You’ve pointed us to an excellent book and included some staggering, frightening statistics. Thank you for writing this, Diana. A cynical thought plagues me sometimes. Can the billionaires’ race to explore outer space be driven by their acceptance that our planet will be destroyed when they finish plundering its resources? Thus, making it necessary to find another home? Sure seems like it sometimes.
Andrew, Thank you so much for reading, and for your lovely comments. I completely understand (and also share) that cynicism. When people behave outrageously, how can it not give rise to that sort of thinking? In "I Cheerfully Refuse" Enger called the 16 billionaires who had taken over the world "astronauts." I wonder if that is why?
thank you for sharing & for the info on the book!
You are so welcome!

Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, Kavannah: the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
They are riding around the Pacific states causing massive fires using their torches labeled Climate Denial.
Indeed, Jim. Thank you for reading and commenting. “He who should not be named” is already blaming the fire on Newsom
Deny, deny, deny, blame others. Just more arrows in the quiver of 666.
Not religious but can still use the metaphors.
THANK YOU for your taking moments in your life to write and post.
