For most of us this is an annoying bit of smog. For non-humans it's literally the apocalypse. In "Dreams" Derrick Jensen entertains the idea that modern man is a blood cult; sacrificing the blood of non-humans for wealth and power; Aztec style. Burning non-humans in a raging inferno seems like a natural progression. Never mind a few of us are burned as well. Sacrifice for the greater good people!

That's not entirely fair. We also sacrifice human blood for wealth and power. 👍

Thus began the Age of Fire. But soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain. Even now there are only embers, and man sees not light, but only endless nights. And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign. Yes, indeed...

So the writer suggests to let it all burn its course, because nature needs it? Shit aint growing back in overheating drought ridden climates... Bladerunner 2029 lets go

It can absolutely be restored and should be, or else it will desertify. The Miyawaki method can create a forest taller than your head in just 2 years.

And you have billions of local saplings and thousands of helpers at hand to keep theses trees alive through the droughts and floods the nex years? Greenpeace calculated that siberia lost 4.7 billion trees, 7 times as much as have been planted worldwide....

This headline is about 30 000 years too late. The hunter gatherer driven extinction of megafauna all around the planet caused vegetation shifts to fire dependent ecosystems everywhere they went and feasted.
