Carlin said it best
“The planet doesn’t need to be saved. The planet isn’t going anywhere. We are!
Pack your shit folks. We’re going away. And we won’t be leaving any traces. Maybe just a little Styrofoam.
We’ll be gone. Just another failed mutation, an evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas, a surface nuisance.”
