This is been in the making for over 10 years. We had a 5-year drought and in that time the tree started to dry out and bark beetles infested most of the forests on the West coast. As a result approximately 80% of the timber is dead and susceptible the type of wildfires we've seen recently.
This is a naturally occurring phenomena but it's been exaggerated by the drought in the higher temperatures.
So insofar as the entire West coast is on fire over 2 million acres in California alone gone up in smoke, this is not a good thing.
we have five major storms turning into Atlantic ocean. Again, not a good thing.
Our lifestyle has been based on roads and transportation and convenience. Mom has to go to the grocery store drop the kids off at school that's going to go to work little Susie has to get to her ballet lessons after school Little Johnny has to get to his soccer game after school. So exactly what do you calculate the costs of that convenience to be your grandchildren's future planet that's inhabitable. What kind of parent would you be if you bankrupted your children's planet for the convenience of getting extra couples coffee in the morning. I personally find it extremely short-sighted and even self-centered. You're basically sold off our generations of the future for the convenience of modern technology and being able to transport yourself from point a to point b congratulations you are now the biggest f******** of the entire human existence.
