This is a French Song/Poem translated to english, I post it because the lyrics is so true and I wanted to share it. This is something everyone in the world should actually worry about

Take this Poem as if you were your grand grand grand child. Aka in a hundred years.

I only have a few minutes left to live
I feel as though I'm becoming weaker by the hour
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert
Now I'm the last human on Earth

They told me once, when I was a child
What the world was like a long long time ago
When my great grand-dad's parents were alive
And when snow still fell in winter

In those days you followed the pace of the seasons
And the end of summer brought with it harvest time
A pure and clear water ran in the streams
Where deer and moose came to drink

But I've only seen a depressing planet
Lunar landscapes and suffocating heat
And all my friends die of thirst or hunger
Like a bunch of flies
Until nothing was left
Nothing...
Nothing...

I only have a few minutes left to live
I feel as though I'm becoming weaker by the hour
My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert
Now I'm the last human on Earth

All this happened several years ago
When my ancestors were obsessed
With bits of paper they called money
That made some men really rich and powerful

And these new gods, backing down from nothing
Were ready to do anything to achieve their ends
To become even wealthier they sheared the Earth
Polluted the surrounding air and dried up the rivers

But after about a hundred years some people started to wake up
And they warned them they needed to stop
But they didn't understand this wise prophecy
Those men only spoke in terms of profit

It was some years later that they saw the error of their ways
In panic they declared a state of emergency
When all the oceans engulfed the islands
And the floods hit the big cities

And for a decade afterwards
It was hurricanes and fires
Earthquakes and a great drought
You could see distress on every face

People had to fight against pandemics
Were killed in millions by atrocious diseases
And the others died of thirst or hunger
Like a bunch of flies...
Until nothing was left...
Nothing...
Nothing...

My brother died yesterday in the middle of the desert
Now I'm the only human on Earth
In the end the intelligence we were given
Will have perhaps been no more than a beautiful poisonous gift

As I only have a few minutes left to live
I feel as though I'm becoming weaker by the hour
I can't walk anymore, I can hardly breathe...
Goodbye world...
Goodbye world...
