As we are destroying our own planet

Climate change is so large, the notion that the average person is simply not able to imagine it completely. For many, global warming is and remains something of a scientific category of horror stories, the others look at things from the perspective of "after us the deluge", and that is easier.

In fact, the trouble, much closer than you think. Look at these pictures made with the assistance of orbital photography. They are a terrible illustration of the rapid destruction of our planet.
