Humans to kill civilization for profit

I live by the sea. I am 73, so I probably won't see the ocean come up to my front door and eventually ruin my home, but that has become inevitable with the essential failure of the Climate Change talks. Tangier Island, home to 500 souls and located a few miles up the Chesapeake Bay, is predicted to be the first set of human habitations to be lost under the waves. Their homes, indeed my home, might have been saved with mandatory international controls over carbon emissions, but now such is not to be. Big business and the demands of profits have ensured that human-augmented climate change will continue just about unabated. We humans are eating and drinking and producing up our environment. Perhaps in millennia some actually intelligent species will make better decisions about preserving the good things about their ways of life. I hope that, if members of that species can read what we wrote, they will not be too remorseful over our incredible shortsightedness and stupidity.
