So I found this inspiring

/\ But, the end isn't pretty, and it's not like the flick of a switch.

As more areas of the Americas become uninhabitable and agriculturally unusable, people will be migrating north for every last scrap of your farm. Buy yourself a little time, and try not to look too edible.

In fairness, the world isn't dying. It's our world that is dying. It is becoming less and less hospitable for humans. Other species will thrive as the climate moves to a new baseline.

It was a good run.

That's a Hubble image of a rather unique galaxy that looks a lot like models of what our galaxy would look like after the "collision" with Andromeda.

What's inspiring to me is that not only can we take such pictures, we can provide reasonable explanations for what we see!

A few times I've read that those images start out/arrive grayscale and then they are sharpened and colourized based on a lot of guesswork.

We could have done better.

I'm sure it's a combination of artistic license, and the equivalent of press photos getting airbrushed.

Those worlds aren't real anyway. They're light years away, and might as well be digital cartoons for all it matters. There isn't even a good way to describe the oceans of space that are between us and our own planetary neighbors, much less other galaxies. We talk about it as if we comprehend it. We do not.

So, apparently some people have trouble with basic English, I see.

I think we're talking about the dimbulb Melinda Richards not being good at English.
