the tree
that grew forever
is a ponzi fever dream
wake up, my child
before your ending

i have found
all the ice
lost
from swiss mountains
lying
in the hearts
of swiss bankers

Swiss glaciers get 10% smaller in two years

The ice fields have lost as much volume in two years as they did in three decades from 1960 to 1990.

the summer sun
eclipsed by forests
burning

migrating tourists flee
from wisdom to complacency
airline prophets soar

hear them roar

@LeftistLawyer
It's Palaeolithic/Neolithic/hunter-gather economics. Exploit the lake, fill the clearing with crap, move on; come back a year later and everything has reset - as if by magic.

Except there are no more unused lakes, no empty clearings. What goes around, comes around.
Finity bites.

Or it's #dinosaurEconomics. Bigger is always better. We (should) know how that ends.
