No, it really isn't the end of the world. No matter what happens with climate change, politics, technology...you pick, the earth will keep on spinning. What happens to us humans, however, is an entirely different story. All of the odd environmental experiences we've had in the past few weeks reminded me of the early days of the magazine world's newsstand consolidation. For those of us who worked in that niche, it really felt like the end of the world. It didn't matter that there had been years of warning that the national chains were about to rebel, the powers that be just ignored it. And then it happened. And it was shattering. But it didn't matter. The world kept spinning.
