The Amazon and the World are Burning
The Amazon and the World are Burning
#1
Thanks to Bolsonaro (Brazil’s homegrown Trump) the Amazon rainforest has been on fire for several days.

Now, the way I understand it, if the forest loses upwards of 25% it will trigger a feedback loop beyond any hope of restoration.

The rest of the world is not far behind.

And just to pre-empt the climate denialists: “I’ll take your opinion and put it in my bank account to see if generates some interest.”
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
