Morning CoSo. 🗺️☀️
Today for #OnlySky, something a little different.
In this piece on eco-activist thinking, I look at how resource-management gaming can remind us to hold ideas in tension, and that responsible climate change policy is far more complex than it can sometimes feel from our armchairs.
We need *huge* cultural changes--but how do we move the dial as everyday citizens, when our nations show so little will to act?

@MLClark In the reimagined BSG, Adama asked Boomer why the Cylons wanted to wipe out humanity. She replied (paraphrasing), "Have you considered that maybe you don't deserve to live?"
That's where we are right now. Humanity is rendering itself extinct.
@MLClark Merritt Island has rivers on either side, both of which are fouled due to agricultural runoff and septic tank leaks. I often think about how those rivers were pristine for millennia, until humans came along and ruined them.
We have a wondrous and abundant ecosystem here, but these creatures are threatened by the destructive humans.
Many people here have no problem with running over manatees with their speedboats. All the manatees have scars on their backs.
