Some say this is one of the most devastating ecological disasters of modern times. https://i.nostr.build/FqhFp42c4fkzNoTj.jpg https://i.nostr.build/5EGNtVDFD3OfCSfH.jpg nostr:nevent1qqs8r7v2mwwnx2p2p3tzpqfqkwzxrz5h6sa0z8y3s74p3l9swlltswcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7q3q8ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqxpqqqqqqzgjpwz6
