And Now, Goo

What is the deal with the mysterious orange goo that has attacked a remote fishing village in Alaska? Is it a harbinger of the forthcoming apocalypse? An early warning sign from a planet that has had enough of humanity’s despoilment and is now preparing a grim but gratifying revenge? The start of a new era of environmental terror in which we will all be choked to death by the very toxicities which we have inflicted upon the earth in our shallow pursuit of bigger cars and frigid living rooms? Yes. Yes, it is all those things.
