So to sum up: The West is burning; the Arctic is melting; the National Hurricane Center is tracking eight major systems; and the WHO reports the largest single-day increase of coronavirus cases globally.

Saying 'the west is burning' is like saying "Los Angeles is dying" because 100 people died. Fire is a natural and normal part of life in the west particularly in Southern California. Sequoias don't reproduce without fire.

And yet a large potion of the population could not care less. In fact they deny that these events are even real to one extent or another. How do you save people who refuse to be saved? What do you do when their refusal threatens your life as well? I have no answers.

No offense to Mr. Davenport, but this is why I sometimes think getting off Twitter until February may be good for my mental health.
