    I think it was also a direct attack on the political environment of the time. Its core message is a warning about how we’re ignoring climate change, potentially with apocalyptic consequences, but there’s definitely a secondary criticism in there. I said “of the time”, but there’s a lot that hasn’t changed. There’s just a lot less screeching now that we don’t have a howler monkey in the Whitehouse.

      I’d argue things are getting worse only in areas most dont necessarily travel. The same seething just below the surface that created the opportunity for Trump is still churning only now under a even more dystopian normal then it was before. Under the veiled racism we expienced in the George W days there was real racism. Under the veiled fascism we expienced in the Trump era there is real fascism. Next up is veiled genocide.
