By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/how-we-destroy-our-own-planet.htmlClimate change is such a large-scale concept that the average person is simply not able to fully imagine it. For many, even global warming remains something from the category of scientific horror stories, while others look at things from the position of "after us though the flood", which is even easier.
In fact, the trouble is much closer than it seems. Look at these photos taken with the help of an orbital survey. They are a terrible illustration of the imminent demise of our planet.
