A meme is so much better than an #ai image. Yesterday I gave up on looking to linkedin, the use of ai images to raise awareness of #environment and #climate was disgusting. On the top of that, spotted strong similarities between ai figures and others created and published by me. 🫠

According to this article, “Wildfires historically occurred on the Channel Islands only after a rare lightning strike.” OK, but wildfire is not the only kind of fire that historically occurred on the Channel Islands. Talk to the heirs of the people who burned there for millennia.
