The age of stupid

And another one I have seen recently..it tells the story of a man living on the devastated planet Earth in the year 2050. He has been collecting all human knowledge, culture and art in a massive data base and saving it for.. well who/whatever finds it... as humanity has played its cards and commited a "suicide". Climate change from the point of view of the future generations looking back in history at the age that knew what's going to happen and still did nothing to save itself. The age of stupid.

The Earth has faced ice ages, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions, continents falling apart because of emerging or submerging tectonic plates. Plastic bags and atmospheric pollution will not cause it much harm; it will rearrange its elements and continue existing undisturbed as it has done since the beginning of time. On the contrary, rearranging its elements will cause the change or the loss of climate - the climate that we know and that has made life on the planet the way it is. As we serve as a catalyst for these events, we are contributing consciously to our own extinction and will eventually murder ourselves. Just as many other civilizations have done before us. The difference is that we know we are doing it and we are still not trying to survive as hard as we are supposed to. Why? “May be because deep inside we know we are not worth saving””
