Remember kids, the world doesn't need saving. It was here long before us, and it will be here long after we're gone... ultimately, it's the people that are f****d. Because none of us know the full value of any creature until it's not doing its job anymore, and none of us can replace a single life when it is gone. Life will probably adapt to 4 or even 5 degree mean atmospheric temperature change, but the crops and livestock we rely on probably won't. And even those of us in the wealthier countries likely won't be there when the world as we know it is over, because if there are people left, it won't be you or your progeny that make it. You're nowhere near rich enough for that.

Sure, I’m about to die. I don’t care I’m screwing over the future of humanity, as long as I die rich.
