It's one thing to hear the warnings of scientists my entire life on the ravages of climate change. It is entirely another to see it play out in real life. News of fire and destruction will become as commonplace as school shootings in less than 10 years. Living in Hell will be normal soon.
With the same people who block action on gun violence now offering thoughts and prayers to climate change victims and saying that anyone trying to solve the problem is just politicizing a tragedy.

in some countries, it already is!
In Australia someone's house burnt down the other day. I haven't heard of any bushfires this year, but that house burning down sure pushed us ahead of the school shooting count for the year.
So many historical sites just GONE. Spent Summer's in my teens working jobs along Front Street. Extremely sad and I hope they get the hope they need soon.
My grandma grew up in Lahaina and sadly her mother’s ashes are gone with the Buddhist temple that burned down :(
I just flew out of Oahu back to San Diego. I thought I was seeing a pool of lava and took a picture excitedly. Then I learned about all of this after getting home…
would you mind sharing that photo?
Yes please!
It burned the color out.
The planet is healing itself.
Did they actually use greyscale or similar to make it look worse than it already is?
That’s how shit looks after it burns. You ever seen a campfire? And cloud cover or smoke filters daylight which actually reveals a lot of natural color. Think about what your town looks like on an overcast day vs a clear one.
Also, a lot of ashes falling everywhere makes everything look grey.
