The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Burn Baby Burn

Mining And fuel companies yearn
For all of our forests to burn
So they can get rich
But there is a glitch:
Climate Change won't wait its turn!

G'day Rico ... a very powerful limerick indeed Rico. They'll keep doing this until the last tree is gone; and then humanity follows - thank you Rico - Lindsay

You’re not wrong, Rico. We need some badges with that last line on. Terry

Forestry admit to allowing millions of acres to burn as being too expensive to extinguish, plus ashes "nourish" the forest. It will take more than 20-years just to replace trees destroyed by this summer's wildfires, ample time for mining and fuel corporations to get rich "developing the natural resources" on public land! Forget the smoke! It is the skunk that stinks!
