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...
