I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?
It's not complicated. Anyone can understand that when forests burn, it's a LOSE-LOSE proposition for the climate and the environment.
We lose trees and grasslands and sometimes also peat that have been storing carbon, AND we send that previously stored carbon into the atmosphere, thereby sharply increasing CO2 emissions, which then push temperatures up even higher, drying out more of the forests and raising the risk of lightning storms which will ignite *more* fires — a massively destructive vicious cycle.

It's almost impossible to imagine anything *worse* than burning boreal forests, but that's what is happening, both in Canada and in Siberia. And STILL we keep on drilling for more oil in Alaska, mining the tar sands in Alberta, and fracking the hell out of everywhere else. Why? Because capitalism! 💰💰💰

I forgot that also on my birthday I saw the first monarch fluttering in the yard and discovered the first ripe blackberries growing wild.
