I feel compelled to comment that if our
habitat is extinguished by global warming, we deserve it. Most
people who are experts figure it's probably too late to fix the
atmosphere but Norway bought a swath of South American rain forest
anyway because in case there still is time, trees are our first line
of defense. Meanwhile here in Florida, United States of Oblivion,
we're still into destroying as many trees as “developers” want
to. With this in mind I just drove by another giant parcel of land
between Lake Mary and Sanford entirely cleared of life for a new and
much needed subdivision so more people can live here and accelerate
the death of the aquifer. This of course promoted and allowed by
the shit-for-brains Seminole County commissioners. Also allowed to
happen by all of us. Why should we do our bit to slow global warming
when we can speed it up instead? If we have not yet reached the
tipping point, at some point we will. Maybe this particular tree
loss will be what pushes us over.
If sanity ruled, the populace would go
to this wounded land, replant it and refuse to allow this sort of
thing to happen anymore. We have the numbers to pull it off. We
just lack the will. Insanity is king.
