“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.”

~Utah Phillips

Inb4 pedant quibbles that "the planet itself is not dying." Yeah, but we and our fellow creatures are. It should be understood that is what Mr. Phillips meant.

The ruling class is feeding us all into a planetary autoclave, just so they can hoard more wealth. And they KNOW it.

I think we also should consider the machine of civilization can't be stopped once started. Steering it is a monumental effort. My best guess is they don't care, or simply can't alter the course we are on.
