There will come a point at the very end of it all when no one will be able to deny what is happening. No one will say, The earth is not on fire, or I’m not melting. These will be incontrovertible facts, and in that one gorgeous, horrifying moment, the only one like it in all of human history, wars will cease, the food chain will level, the wealth gap will slam shut. Everyone will be on the same page about everything. It could be an incredibly unifying experience for humankind if it were not also so obliterating.
