In the 2000s they warned us the 2020s would be like this

They also said the 2050s would be apocalyptic

    The craziest part is that things have blown past the worst scenario models, and many are still asleep. Or even worse, think some magical, undiscovered technology will save everyone. The outlook is pretty grim for anyone still around during the second half of the century.

    We planted trees as kids in the 80s. Didn't just plant them either. We kept going back every year to check on the trees. We made sure that 10 trees for every kid in our school made it to 5 years before we stopped replanting that tree. Over the years I must have planted at least 50-100 trees. I wish it felt like it did anything.
