And climate change is only one of the several issues that is highly likely to end human's brief stint on this planet Earth.

Just off the top of my head, another is the impending WWIII beginning with Russian aggression, which after the Civil War pt. II the USA looks extremely likely to not only cease funding Ukraine but I shit you not may literally join hands with Russia to fight WITH them (people in some areas - and not just a handful - are flying 3 flags: USA, Confederate, and either Hungarian or direct Russian, some reputedly at literal police stations / firefighters). And too there's China, and blah blah so TLDR here: "war".

Which starts us off with a good phrasing, very biblical 4 horseman-esque, b/c there's also the next upcoming plagues, which if people are concentrating themselves into fewer, already-built-up areas, is going to expand further. Especially if they are so unedumacashiated (sp) as to willingly volunteer to forego vaccination, for the sake of preserving additional resources for the wealthy.

And famine too, don't forget the famine. The forces of Automation and Globalization are complex, intricate, and have benefits but also detractions especially within the most wealthy countries where e.g. uneducated workers having their jobs sent overseas may cause them to more readily vote for Trump. Who then spreads vaccine disinformation and advocates for literal war, either on the side of expansionist Russia, or against expansionist China, or somehow even more likely both at the same time, or perhaps he'll pick on some smaller country merely b/c it's a Tuesday (hey, remember when he assassinated another country's military leader? Pepperidge Farms remembers!).

And, full disclosure, having to pay more at the grocery store isn't "famine", but REAL famine is happening as well, and as more visible local needs increase, the more remote forms of charitable aid is expected to decrease?

So we've got pestilence, war, disease, and famine - I'm just going to call it now: BINGO! :-P
