We're the cause, but instead of doing something meaningful about it, we choose to ignore the hard truth.

It's not science fiction. Our dead end is ahead, brought about by our humanly caused unsustainable ways. So many movies touch on our inevitable fate, you begin to wonder if those science fiction characters who wanted to end humanity as we know it, were right.

Or via those who discover the capacity to act on our behalf.
