The Earth is ~4.54 billion years old. Oxygen began accumulating in Earth's atmosphere around 2.4 billion years ago. Trees began to appear ~430 million years ago. At roughly the same time, charcoal enters the fossil record. Ergo: Wildfire has only been possible in the last 10% of Earth's history.

Earth’s oldest known wildfires raged 430 million years agowww.sciencenews.org 430-million-year-old fossilized charcoal suggests atmospheric oxygen levels of at least 16 percent, the amount needed for fire to take hold and spread.

Both are awesome, but I especially love the vulture!! 🥰 My wings and tail will be very similar that, but made as separate pieces. 😊

Did that have the black vulture wings? Those were so amazing, and part of my inspiration for these! 😁 These are for my albatross, and all the foam feathers will be painted black, with white fur arm sleeves over them, similar to your vulture ones. 😊

Here's how you can take action to stop the Nassau County mask ban. 📢 Testify at Nassau County Legislature Committee Meeting: Monday, July 15, 1 pm ✉️ Email public comment before Monday: [email protected] More details: covidadvocacyny.org/nassau #NoNYMaskBan

If you live in N. America, food you eat is probably grown in the orange “major heat risk” strip in California's Central Valley. The heat threatens crops, farmworkers & our entire food system. This is our planet at 1.2 degrees of warming yet California is STILL approving new oil wells. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

From top to bottom: fuck AI. Its entire use case is "I'm too cheap to pay for someone to do this right, so I'll use the plagiarism machine to give me an inferior knock off instead". But unlike undergrads pretending they aren't cutting and pasting from Wikipedia, it's also a climate disaster.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.
