The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-

  • Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
  • Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
  • Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
  • Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
  • Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
  • People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
  • Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

dont talk or think about this please

Great Barrier Reef likely to have mass bleaching and coral death this summer, according to a long range forecast that coral experts say is “a wake up call” for the Australian government.

There’s a 60% chance the entire reef will experience bleaching and extreme heat stress. This could mean a large amount of damage that would affect tourism and fishing industries and the jobs they create. Plus, you know, a great giant beautiful piece of nature would die.

1.5C degrees of warming could lead to 80% loss of the world’s coral reefs. 2 degrees change destroys them all.

What is the government doing about this? Putting up a middle finger to the IPCC report and continuing to call for more coal fired power plants. Because duh. Why work towards preserving the environment when you can make political donors happy?

We need to phase out coal before it’s too late. We need to get rid of Scott Morrison and his coalition.
