The business pages of American newspapers should not read like a scandal sheet.
It has taken these many hundreds of millions of years to fine-tune the Earth to a point where it is suitable for the likes of us.

People ask: Why should I care about the ocean? Because the ocean is the cornerstone of earth's life support system, it shapes climate and weather. It holds most of life on earth. 97% of earth's water is there. It's the blue heart of the planet - we should take care of our heart. It's what makes life possible for us. We still have a really good chance to make things better than they are. They won't get better unless we take the action and inspire others to do the same thing. No one is without power. Everybody has the capacity to do something.
We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.
The oceans deserve our respect and care, but you have to know something before you can care about it.

Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.
