WHAT'S A CLIMATE CRISIS?

We're all tempted to just lie down and rest now that the government has finally pulled their finger out of their ass, and that's exactly what they want us to do.

SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK:

I live in Denmark, a european country, sadly like many other europeans countrys, with literally no old-growth forest left. Yet somehow our attention is always diverted as far away as possible, be it the giant, ungraspable problem of climate change, or the burning of rainforests on the other side of the world. This prevents the individual from trying to create change outside of the system.

I saw an icelandic ad recently, calling for the ban of unethically sourced palm oil. Fucking Iceland. The country that literally chopped down every tree on their island, and had to import wood for a thousand years.

Now, Iceland has begun growing forests again, but the funny thing is: If you speak to a lot of icelandic people, they'll tell you that they don't like the trees, and that they're ruining the unique icelandic nature.

Which begs the question: What is nature, and what is important to us?
