It just wasn't fair. This whole fucking situation was downright ironic. The last eighty years had been a non-stop panic about righting all of their ancestor's wrongs, a comeback after the nearly complete catastrophic dieback right before the turn of the last century.

Hadn't they'd re-seeded the plains and the oceans? They had tried to make amends, hadn't they? And apparently, the Earth was just a tiny bit slow on the uptake if this an attempt to punish them, that no, they weren't forgiven, and no amount of flowers would ever be accepted. It was like the Earth was out to destroy their gardens just because they'd destroyed hers.
