The Last Lungs — By Dr Love in Bristol, UK

A man breathes through a mask connected to a tree on a gurney. In a polluted future, nature isn’t just scenery, it’s our life support system, our portable lungs. Dr Love illustrates our desperate dependence on the very forests we are destroying, effectively carrying our oxygen supply with us.

@TheCentralScrutinizer @szakib kinda funny because we don’t depend on trees for oxygen. There’s a near infinite supply created billions of years ago by cyanobacteria.

@[email protected] Maybe so, but if all the trees were cut down we would suffocate on toxic CO2 even if still oxygen available!

@TheCentralScrutinizer if all the trees were cut down we’d have *catastrophic problems* and, yes, toxic CO2 might be among them 😂 The collapse of pollinators might be worse, who’s to say. There would still be plenty of oxygen, though.

I think we can agree that cutting down all the trees is a very bad idea! 😊
