My price was $5,000,000.

My price was $5,000,000. I intend to use the money to buy a big house and just generally piss around for the next 50 years or so. I’ll probably die by the time the shit really hits the fan, not that it matters. Even if I am still alive I’ll be able to avoid the horrors that await everyone else. Floods, famine, disease… It ain’t gonna be pretty. I tried to warn them all. I tried for years. I struggled with low paying internships just to have access to the equipment. I even degraded myself to the point that I let others publish my research, all in the hopes of getting the word out there. It was possible to change. With a few tweaks we could have saved the planet. But they would have rather just watched washed up celebrities singing and dancing on a wednesday night.

So this is what you get. If everyone else is determined to ride the apathy train straight to hell then I intend to be in the luxury sleeping car. If no-one else cares then why should I. Life really is better with all the money and none of the conscience.  In the meantime, If I were you, I’d carpool, a lot.

  1. Have you watched “An Inconveinient Truth”? We still have time to save the world, and more and more people are waking up every day!
