You make your own choices, so do I.

You need to understand one thing.

We Swedes are pretty honest, we trust our government. If that will hold after this I don't know.  As I said, we're trying to be like you those days. Just a little more innocent possibly.  And we do take our statistics seriously. One of the few country's today that try. Your government is becoming a joke, so is mine, but that's not our soul.

What I'm constantly surprised over is that we reached as far as we've done. It's a attribute to those that use their minds. But then we have those that manipulate the fruits of it. Those are your role models, the most stupid and ego centered people you ever will meet. And I think is has reached its limit now. the next use of those fruits will f* us up. so if you're one of those using your mind, be careful.

some people seem to have a instinctive understanding of others. I'm not one of those, and I don't think I want to be one either. Maybe they are closer to those basic instincts, having a native intelligence manipulating it. It's a lot easier if you don't get a education.

If you refuse to use your mind, you just prove that those manipulating you are right. You're a sheep.

The next step is to use it. One life, it's yours.

If you refuse to use it you become not only a sheep, you become a coward.

Listened to others?
Or took a look at yourself?

I promise you, to take a look at yourself is the hardest thing you can do. It will leave you without a rudder, it will make you feel you don't understand anything. But it's the first step to becoming yourself.

Then we have this. European Red List of trees .. "  The European Red List is a review of the status of European species according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status.

This publication summarises results for all Europe’s native species of tree (454 species), of which 265 species (over 58%) are endemic to continental Europe, with 56% (252 species) endemic to the 28 EU Member States. Of these, 168 (42%) of the species are threatened with extinction at the European level, however, for 57 species (nearly 13%) there was insufficient information to assign a conservation status, and are therefore classified as Data Deficient, and in need of further research.

The main threat to tree species in Europe has been identified as invasive or problematic species, impacting 38% of tree species, followed by deforestation and wood harvesting, and urban development (both affecting 20% of tree species).

I've been severely disappointed in USA this last decade, as well as disappointed before too. But they still have good science. Although if we f.ex take NOOA:s website you will find it increasingly hard to navigate from its front page. It's a frustrating experience making it easier to google it than following the 'links' it gives. But to google it you have to know what to ask for, which then means that if you're interested connecting to its official portal you will meet a lot of self indulgent 'portraits' of the people working there but little fact about the state of our world. It might have an explanation in mr Trumps efforts to correct what he views as 'fake news', I'm not sure but it might be correct considering f. ex this. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/climate/noaa-sharpiegate-ethics-violation.html

You can hide the facts, bury them deep but thankfully, if you're persistent, they still will be there.
