climate

Seems like winter at last outside. Too bad we are already halfway through April at this point. Usually it starts to be the other way around during this time of the year. We start to see first patches of ground beneath the snow when the spring sun starts to melt the snow cover that has been there for months.

It's not the first time we have gotten snow this winter and it does snow occasionally during this time of the year normally too. Just the contrast between the snowless winter makes it feel so odd right now.

"We need to save the planet!". It's a common statement heard often these days. But the truth is, the planet doesn't need to be saved by us. What it actually needs is being saved from us.

Earth is surprisingly resilient to change. It is us that might not survive those changes. Our planet has survived a lot worse, it just didn't turn out that well at the time for then dominant species. Where the current climate change is heading isn't even anything out of ordinary. We have just managed to accelerate it's coming from millions of years into mere decades.
