i read in becoming good ancestors that wildlife has moved into human environments not due to reduction of habitat but because we stay in the house and abandon the environment. there's a fox den hard by mcdonald's and so on. we go from point a to point b and animals dream in our no-man's lands.
this morning i read that forests globally are so degraded that instead of absorbing emissions they now release them. the amazon basin releases more carbon than all the traffic in the u.s.
then i read on climate changers that carbon emissions have leveled off and we may have reached a peak, and that all our little acts of conservation have really added up. 
it seems there is no truth, only alternative truths, effectively cancelling each other out and letting us get back to sleep in the punctuated silence of the sixth extinction.
