   The fossil fuel industry spent a lot of money trivializing wildfires in Australia, Colorado, Texas, California, and Canada to avoid lawsuits.

     #ClimateDiary Worst ever wildfires in South Korea. I heard about this through my sister. I wouldn’t have known otherwise - completely passed me by. Could be just me, zoning out too much. But it’s terrifying how easy it is to do so.

     Do we need to know every climate catastrophe? I think it’s better, in so many ways (not least compassion) if we do. But overwhelm, fatigue is creeping in.. awful. Meanwhile, at least 23 dead in Korea.
