G’day Icy, after reading your blog I was astonished to hear about all the loss occurring due to the bushfires in Australia. A billion animals dead. 25 humans dead. The loss is surreal. I can’t imagine a billion dead bodies in one place. I’m sure my brain when I am sleeping will figure out a way to make the image real. Excuse me, I am Daku and I am from the bush, that I always knew. I now know my bush is located on land humans call Australia, which is where these bushfires you talked about Icy are taking place. Excuse me for asking, but is there a reason the deaths are reported as human or animal? I presume it is because the sources you got your information from must be humans, so they would I assume care more about their own kinds losses. Kind of makes me believe humans rule the world. Or at least they think they do.
So humans have been releasing carbon in the air and that makes the world hotter. To me that sounds like it could get complicated. Although, is the world not already hot enough? I could not imagine sitting in a place cold enough where humans think heating the world is needed. Speaking of which that is where you are from is it not Icy? How is that? The cold lifestyle. You are proof it exists. You do say that you may not be around much longer due to this warming. That would be awful! The world is already hot enough and killing you to get warmer is not worth it. You believe humans are the only ones who can save us? Yet they are also the ones who created this “mess”. How did the humans get all this power? Should they have all this power? I have more questions now than ever. Humans are taking care of me. Nursing me back to health. And you are saying they are responsible for the bushfires at the same time. Humans confuse me.
If you are right Icy, it sounds like humans will be the end to themselves and potentially the rest of us. Thanks to your blog Icy and many others like it I have begun to learn that the world is much bigger than I could have ever imagined. The bush where I am from is just a small part of this giant world, and from my understanding humans have found their way everywhere. How? That is still unclear, but they have managed to spread everywhere and while doing that seaked carbon to warm them. This warmth has flipped my world down under and potentially will flip many others worlds down under. I now fear that the tragedy of the bushfires in my homeland Australia is just the first of many tragedies humans have started with carbon. I will continue my pursuit of learning what is happening in the world with goals of learning about what I can do once healthy to help out with my home. Stay safe Icy and maybe someday we will meet in person to talk more about humans and carbon. Until then G’day mate!
