"Why are we continuing with the status quo? Renewable power and electric transportation are cheaper and non-polluting. We can make green steel and green cement, without lighting things on fire." - Tim Kelly, Aleppo Read the full LTE here: tinyurl.com/PostLTE

Good grief, this hits home.

Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

A striking, touching illustration of the shifting baseline syndrome. To someone from two generations ago, what we think of as beautiful, unspoiled nature would seem, or in this case, sound, like an almost barren landscape with just a couple of odd survivor species hanging on.
