Here is a snake plant that I propagated in soil. It took months to root and a few months more to sprout new growth. When propagating snake plants from a cut leaf, the new growth does not share the same leaf colors & characteristics as the mother plant.

There is no return to nature. Dreams that enlightened humans can create eco-civilisation are another form of hopium-addiction. Nature is transforming and dying: the future is alien.

Ancient pine trees growing in eastern Spain have quietly recorded more than five centuries of Mediterranean weather. Analysis of tree rings clearly shows that todays storms and droughts are becoming more intense and more frequent than almost anything the region has experienced since the early 1500s.

Not just Christianity. All belief systems - including pagan ones - that believe/believed in some sort of survival of the individual rather than annihilation after death are anti-nature.
“Our civilizations nurtured a deep contempt for nature and the natural cycles of death and rebirth: death was never natural. It was a punishment reserved for those who did not deserve the Afterlife, as well as for the plain old losers”

Only thing that surprises me about this is that it is The Times reporting (or perhaps not since it attacks Labour govt).

Us oldies in rich countries lived through an unprecedented time of abundant, cheap food. That era has passed and will never come back. More food inflation, shortages, weeks of certain supermarket shelves being empty, is how it will be ... that is until it gets worse.

The increase in frequency and severity in extreme weather events globally is in line with this.
It's what the scientists warned us about - for decades.
It's a shame we didn't listen.

For 50 years, global warming had a very consistent trend (+0.19 °C/decade) with a boring, predictable range of natural variations around it.
During the last three years, we've broken out above that range, suggesting the pace of change has quickened.

I keep remembering climate change is having a disasterous effect on the hydrological cycle, those deer are gonna starve, die of thirst, chemicals already wide spread in the environment will reduce their fertility.
Nature is as much a killer as a "healer". Humans are massively ramping up death.

Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm.
