About Me

The polar ice caps are famously melting, the weather is fronting unseasonable and stormish, and various other consequences of global warming are making themselves known. The earth truly seems on the verge of sliding into total breakdown. As we cannot rely on the Man to come up with a plan, we can at least have a good soundtrack to the collapse.
