There is a road around somewhere called Stephenson Rd. “George Stephenson was an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer during the Industrial Revolution.” One could argue, that what Stephenson did, kicked off the series of events that is at the heart of our climate emergency and the current ongoing mass extinction.
Literally the industrial revolution and the steam engine started what may, within decades now, bring down civilization, kill and displace, maybe not in that order, billions of people, and wipe out most species. Surely, this is the person in human history who did the worst thing…
We had better rename Stephenson Rd, “Happy Sunshine Flowers Of The Truth Of The People Who Love Life” Road, in some obscure language. Cause that is the move that will avert a climate disaster.
