La humanidad ante su propia extinción. Morir ricos y contaminados es el objetivo – Stigmatis

Las catástrofes y amenazas ambientales causadas o agravadas por la humanidad crecen en frecuencia e intensidad. Estamos muy preocupados por las pandemias y por el cambio climático, pero no hace tanto que las toneladas de plástico que vertemos al mar o los miles de seísmos que generamos anualmente ocupaban las portadas de los periódicos.

I’m thrilled to share author D.L. Finn’s 5-Star Amazon review of my Halloween collection of haiku. Ms. Finn is the author of Sounds in the Silence, a paranormal mystery which is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. I highly recommend it! It’s a perfect October read. Thank you so much, Denise, for your wonderful review!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection of poetry with a fun, dark twist! Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2024.

“’Haiku for the Midnight Hour’ is a collection of what Ms. Pisturino calls experimental, with a fun twist of darkness. There are seventeen categories, including Home Alone, Creatures in the Night, Fairy Tales, and From Outer Space. I did read it as close to midnight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here are just a few of my favorites: ‘ramshackle old house-/ready to fall—hiding ghosts/abandoned spirits’—House, ‘full moon at midnight/stares boldly at old tombstones/dead come back to life’—Tombstones, ‘snakes slight through the/grass with eager hunting for/hypnotized victims’—Snakes, ‘mummy wrappings and/gray ash trail across the floor/unholy wand’ring’—The Mummy, ‘Cthulhu calling/stretching his tentacles through/space fracturing minds’—Cthulhu, and ‘moon maidens dancing/under full moon waxing big/pregnant with magic’—Moon Maidens. This is a fantastic poetry collection for Halloween reading, but also for any time of the year. A read I will enjoy more than once and can highly recommend it to poetry lovers…”

The three hottest days ever recorded occurred in July 2024, highlighting an unprecedented surge in global temperatures. Additionally, heat-trapping fossil fuel emissions have reached alarming levels.

“On the basis of global year-to-date averages, the concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane are at record highs,” wrote the study authors.

“Carbon dioxide levels were recently observed to be surging. Furthermore, the growth rate of methane emissions has been accelerating, which is very troubling.”

…The report identifies 28 amplifying feedback loops – such as permafrost thawing and increased methane emissions – that further accelerate and compound the effects of climate change, creating a cycle that threatens to spiral out of control….
