It IS hopeless.

Such was my vote, and I'd like to say it was not made idly or in jest. I hear it rarely on the news, but it is my belief that our destruction of the environment is profound and life as we know it will undergo major and painful changes. And even those words are not enough.

It is my belief that there will, at the least, be a major reduction in human populations. These reductions not only from rising sea levels and natural events, but also from the political, international confrontations that will occur as the various countries begin to realize more tangibly what we're in for. My sense is that media and most conversations cannot directly confront what's in store; they would be called alarmist or worse. I expect a "die-off" of a significant number of humans, to say nothing of the other life forms we've already diminished or removed. But it cannot be talked about.

Finally, here, I will say that my attitude, feelings, about this matter are of guilt in being a present-time representative of the species that has brought such ruin, and sadness at the breadth of thriving life, greenery, and all else that we have put in jeopardy. Has "intelligent life" ended life as we know it? I believe so.
