No point giving birth because of Climate Change. “Though Laura Formisano says she never felt a huge desire to have children, she used to presume that would change. But climate change could make the planet so uninhabitable, she says, she’s not sure she can ever bring herself to become a parent.”
It all makes sense within that ideologlical system. If civilization as we know it is guilty; if judgment has been pronounced; if the engine of destruction is in train. Why hang around?
The great thing about eco-atheism is the certitude you can get off the train by jumping off a cliff or overdosing on pills. There’s an absolute belief you can turn off the TV, as if not watching it ends the TV station. It’s fine to save the Planet because you’re not part of it.
It used to be that we had a mission to live. Today a lot would sit that mission out. Hemingway wrote that “all true stories, if continued long enough, end in death.” He was wrong.
All true stories, if continued long enough, continue.
