Humanity
PAST FORWARD
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yesterday, as we threw out the prisoners out of our ship, we could not hear a sound. But their terrified faces are like screaming cries that still echo in my head. As a Vega of this ship, my power held no value to prevent this brutality - all in the name of keeping the majority alive. What an irony it is that the more we try to save humanity from going extinct, it feels like we are losing humanity even more.

Slip Sliding, Sloshing, Flooding, Burning, Collapsing, & Blowing Away
Florida & California, having once been Meccas for vacationers, retirees, & long-term residents, have become hellish environments. Florida is a cesspool of various algal growths & trash-covered beaches caused by human pollution, along with the unstoppable increasing collapse into sinkholes of its honeycombed porous foundation.

Tonga before the blast
Smoke fills the air. Not the smoke of a volcanic eruption but the cookfires of hundreds of family huts. It was 1986, and I visited Tonga on an Earthwatch expedition. Our task was to map the growing fields identifying the types of vegetation–taro, plantains, papaya, and coconut made up some of the target crops. Our direct observation used ground-truth satellite imagery. Once identified on our maps, we transferred the information to the satellite photographs of the island. This, in turn, allowed researchers to extrapolate the key colors to other islands in the South Pacific.

Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the world
You may be surprised at just how fast this is happening, and it’s not just due to climate change. It’s also thanks to human activity. As melting ice sheets and increased storm activity cause the ocean floor to warm, more water is released into the atmosphere. This in turn amplifies global warming and makes Arctic warming even more pronounced.
