Deforestation is important, but this particular image set is bullshit.

It turns out, our planet has an interesting phenomena that some of you may have heard about before called "seasons." As a result, a picture of the earth is only going to be as green as the season it was taken in. An image taken in July for instance will naturally look greener than one taken in January after the majority of trees have shed its leaves, The picture on the left is claimed to be from 1978, but in reality was taken by a multiple picture process by Nasa from June through September 2001, and was slightly edited to look slightly greener than the original. (Source) The second image on the right was taken by Nasa on January 4th, 2012 ( Hi Res). According to Wikipedia, Most of the Deforestation in North America happened prior to 1910. Since then, forest resources have remained about the same, largely due to planting new trees to replace the ones that were removed.

Now you've guaranteed that I DO want to read your Big Bang. Like NOW. Off to go reread An Ideal Grace in the meantime....
If you hated An Ideal Grace, you probably don’t want to read my Big Bang.
Recently finished Ursula Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness. I don’t remember the last time I read a book as quickly as I did this one.
