The progressive loss of oxygen threatens not only ecosystems, but also the livelihoods of large sectors of society and the entire planet, according to the authors of an international study i...
Could the planet just hurry up and kill us already?

Water scarcity has caused deaths.
Ecosystems ravaged by humans are past their first stages of collapse.
And it's all getting worse.
We can try our best, but it won't be enough.
I just hope to care for those around me and try to spread good.
