Watch it All Burn

The world is on fire.

The skies are red and orange, filled with thick smoke and ashes.

The ground is scorched and blackened, buildings and trees reduced to rubble. The air is hot and thick, making it difficult to breathe.

This is the new reality, the reality of climate change.

The flames are everywhere, leaping from one thing to the next with an insatiable appetite. Houses, trees, cars, people…nothing is safe.

The only way to survive is to keep moving, to keep ahead of the inferno.

But it’s not just the flames that are deadly. The heat is suffocating, the smoke is choking, and the ash is blinding.
