Forest Whitaker Might Have Hinted at the Black Panther Movie Going Cosmic

We don’t really know all that much about Forest Whitaker’s role as Zuri, one of T’Challa’s closest advisors, in Marvel’s soon-to-be-released Black Panther.

Once We Start Geoengineering, We Won’t Be Able To Stop

With each passing year that the world fails to get a grip on its carbon emissions, the threat of climate change increases.
