And the best weather we have had in April/May in years up north. 

A Covid climate change?

The humble virus has enlightened us....hopefully. No mad tourists trashing nature, not to mention the pollution caused by these hordes. But...money talks and <deleted> will walk

The Virus just does it's job .

That is protecting natural , self balancing ecosystems from the destruction caused by non-caring , selfish visitors who have no respect for what took ages to develop ...

The Virus is just a tool used by a living planet to protect it against a disease called mankind .

No more fossile fuels , no more toxic chemicals , no more destruction of the environment out of greed and there won't be a reason for a virus to exist .

Shows how it should be rather than what it was when devastated by mass tourism

Shall we now say "thank you for the virus, CCP" ?

On my recent visit to Koh Wai a very large and old dead sea turtle washed ashore on the beach.

 

Being an avid snorkeler in the Andaman which the sea life is on a knife's edge. I can report that the undersea life around these islands is not impressive by my standards.

The world would be a healthier and less polluted place with less people who only care for themselves and are too naive to see what unlimited consumerism and selfishness does to the planet .

The Virus is part of a self-defense mechanism of our planet . It had to appear somewhere , that it appeared first in China has something to do with the exploitation of wildlife over there , but it could have been another country as well ...

<deleted> Public Relations. It's ridiculous to think that decades of environmental destruction  will be recover in a year.

If the natural ecosystems would just be left alone and respected for what they really are , ( life creating systems , that have a tendency to balance themselves in a way that causes no destruction ) . They just need time to heal when not destroyed or damaged by human interference .

That is , if the evironmental damage has not passed the ' point of no return ' yet .

But that point has passed already or is very close .

That is why immediate action ( fossile fuels , pollution ) is required NOW .

Don't worry.. we will soon get back to "normal". Several billions of single- use non-degradable face masks will make up the difference in the short term.

Do we care?  Not enough......
