But for the residents of a small, idyllic Californian town, this was the horrifying reality they faced in 2018 when one of the US’s most damaging wildfires turned Paradise into hell on earth. It is also a reminder of the insult made by soon-to-be ex-President (thankfully) Trump when he referred to the town as “Pleasure” while touring the devastation. This gaffe, as well as blaming “poor” forest management, encapsulates his administration’s casual indifference to the climate crisis. Net result is death ...More than one million sea creatures are killed each year due to fishing, according to WWF. Many of these species are endangered, like this green turtle which drowned after being caught up in netting off the coast of Tobago.
