Smoke from factories and roads is weaponised through petro-capitalist extraction, and there is no ‘outside’ that organisms can escape to, smoke slithers into their lungs and penetrates their cells. Extincted organisms spiral down in the monochrome history of evolution, and Ursus Maritimus should not be the next in the spiral.
