But we don't have a word for the conscious act of destroying the planet we live on, the world as humanity had known it until, historically speaking, late last night.

Huffington Post: If you're a male painted turtle, global warming might sound great at first: A new study suggests it will mean more females to mate with and fewer male rivals to fend off.
