Alt: An older, mustached version of "Rust" Cohle nods while being interviewed by the police. Rust is a fictional character portrayed by Matthew McConaughey in the first season of HBO's anthology television series True Detective.
Cohle is introduced as a gifted but deeply troubled detective who has newly transferred to the LSP's criminal investigation division (CID). A solitary cynic, Cohle is a philosophical pessimist and believes that human beings are merely "sentient meat". He's very much showing his tiredness as an existential nihilist in this gif.

This graphic shows average Arctic sea-ice thickness (average monthly volume divided by average monthly extent, 12-month running average). October, 2017, saw the minimum, at 1.228 meters. Current is 1.267 meters and falling fast.
What's next? The Climate 8-ball is frozen solid.

Feeling overwhelmed? That's how they want you to feel. So overwhelmed that you turn off and ignore their disgusting and outrageous acts. Meanwhile they tighten the screws a little more each day until you've lost everything. People can't afford to not pay attention no matter how overwhelmed you are.

B.C.'s environment ministry has once again fined the Red Chris copper and gold mine for failing to monitor its groundwater, even as Canada's federal government fast-tracked the mine's expansion as one of five "nation-building" projects.

Oh, cool. Will it solve climate change, overshoot, biodiversity loss, soil erosion and degradation, ocean acidification, and all the other existential threats to the planet? Will it help other species avoid extinction? I'm in the UK - is there a local chapter near me?
