Surprise EP release.
The Suffering of a Biologist is a highly personal EP about my experience as a biologist in this rapidly declining world. When your career is related to the conservation of the natural world, it is impossible to remain ignorant of the extent of anthropogenic impacts - nor do I wish to. But the knowledge weighs on me heavily. It shapes every aspect of my life.
Climate change and the ongoing sixth extinction are two of the most worrying anthropogenic impacts, as the impacts are being felt everywhere across the world - even now. We're seeing mass die-offs of coral reefs and amphibians happening right now. We're also witnessing unnaturally strong storms and extremely unusual weather that is being fueled by climate change.
Humanity cannot sit idle in the face of the threats we currently face. To remain ignorant of the reality of our situation, or worse, to deny it, condemns future generations to a harsh and difficult world to live in. If we fail to act in this critical time, and do not manage to keep to keep our world from warming 3 degrees Celsius, humanity and the biological world will suffer extreme consequences.
We need to act.
