This is based on and inspired by Emperors of the Deep, a book by William McKeever. I'm gonna stop being professional. When I read this book, I was terrified. How crazy is it that humans have lived for so long, but our own progressions into higher technology threaten to collapse us? We spent so long worrying over vaccines, healthcare, and world hunger (which are all things we should worry over) that we overlooked something bigger than us. Climate change. Pollution. Overpopulation. Deforestation. Extinction. I spent so long not worried about these things. I spent so long not caring. I was oblivious to coming doom before I read this book and saw just how bad it is. Now, I might seem paranoid. I might seem like I'm worried over nothing. But we have SEVEN YEARS ( by the count of the Climate Clock, https://climateclock.world/clocks ) before there's no return. Maybe it's time we started panicking. You know what? I don't care about Earth. Earth is a hunk of rock floating in a vast void with infinite hunks of rock just like it. I don't care about the ocean, or the land, or the clouds or the skies. I don't care about Earth. I care about the wonder ON Earth. I don't care about a hunk of rock in space, I care about the PLANTS that depend on it. I don't care about a mass of violent and unpredictable water, I care about the FISH and PLANTS and CRUSTACEANS and CORAL that lives in it. I don't care about the land, I care for the ANIMALS and INSECTS that live on it. I don't care about the sky, I care about the CREATURES that use it for passage. But we've been destroying it all for so long now... can we go back? Will you fight this impossible battle with me? What's the most important step a person can take? The next one. It's always the next one.
