With climate concerns on the rise, experts warn existing mental health resources won’t be able to keep up. By Brishti Basu · CBC News

I mean I never saw smoke in the sky and at eye level like I’ve seen this summer and a lot of trees are dead, the ones that aren’t are visibly stressed. It’s very visible.

So, seeing something for the first time signals the end of the world? You must have had an interesting childhood.

No, seeing something that is damn well known to never have happened before causing massive damage while walking from home to my brother’s workplace is what gave me that impression.

My hometown flooded in 2017 and then 2018 and again this year. My current city of residence hasn’t seen a summer this cold since it was founded not in spite of but because the cities of Kelowna and Yellowknife are on-fucking-fire and the smoke is temporarily shielding this city from record-high heat waves. This isn’t normal, and the global average temperature, despite the common misconception, has never been this warm since the beginning of life on Earth.

My childhood wasn’t a conservative one, I’m not fearing this because it’s new. I fear it because it’s deadly.

Stay safe out there, friend. The fires are insane this year. :(

Your reasoning is too black and white and lacks nuance.
