Sometimes I feel like things are just moments away from falling apart. I worry that the leaders are doing their best to cover it up, but one day it will fall apart and it will fall apart suddenly.

I often think about how, if there was a planet-killer asteroid on a collision course with Earth, it's very likely it would be kept secret. At least if we had no way of stopping it.

I truly believe that if global warming is already past the point of no return, there would be a lot of powerful people out there with vested interests in keeping it under wraps. They'd definitely want to at the very least maintain their lifestyle while the boat sinks...

I'm sorry, I agree with you.
