My guess is he was aware of climate and the environment way before it was on your radar.

Happy environment day! It is vitally important to understand that the responsibility of preserving and protecting it falls on us, due to its fragility and importance in all forms of life. All action in favor of this is significant, from the simplest. Let's become aware and take care of it, so that we can marvel at it for a long time to come!

Three images in my office - tracy before the opera, a fading proof of mine, my great aunt, who they say I look like. Yup.
Once a week I try to get a drive in to different places hoping to come across something of interest for a photo shoot. On this particular day the drive was up by Potosi to Glen Haven, Wisconsin where I stumbled upon what I call a Tractor Graveyard. These tractors are dead so to speak but are waiting for new life to be breathed into them such as for parts for other tractors, upcycling, refurbishing, or recycling. What a great way to preserve our environment and to keep things out of the landfills. I never know what I'm going to find on these outings.

nunca eh escrito nada acá solo soy yo me la tomo mi vecino mientas pendejabamos en el rancho de mi hermana, aunque me hice mierda la espalda supongo que valió la pena.
I often like to take extra time to absorb the environment. When you slow down, you find more to appreciate.

opened the curtains this morning, and look - the ground is covered in a delicate dusting of frost. The first frost of this winter. How pretty. How cold. Dashed out to take this pic - dashed back in because it was pretty parky in my jamies and dressing gown.

I am re-posting this photo of a Golden Whistler to illustrate the dense sticky thicket this bird was hiding in, on Callum Brae, May 2013.
This site is a narrow strip of dense bushes and sticks between a boundary fence and a track. It is home to the following species of small birds:
Fairy wrens
Red-browed finch
White eared honeyeater
Speckled warbler......(threatened species, I think)
Eastern spinebill
Yellow-faced honeyeater
Fuscous honeyeater
Leaden Flycatcher
Buff-rumped thornbill
Yellow-rumped thornbill
Striated thornbill
Weebill
White browed scrubwren
White-throated treecreeper
Silvereye
Grey fantail
Scarlet robin
Rufous whistler
Golden whistler
Sacred kingfisher.
Althought the Kingfisher just passes through from time to time, without living in the bushes.
On Callum Brae there would not be another single area of that size that could boast such a variety or density of small birds.
Yesterday morning two men with a large mechanical borer came in and drilled a series of holes along the fence line which they said were “test” holes for ACTEW.
Assuming either an electricity line or water pipe is to be taken along that fence line, it can only be done with the destruction of all of the abovementioned habitat, and dispersal of the small birds. Birds driven out of habitat that is especially suitable for breeding and cover will not necessarily find alternative accommodation, so to speak, and may cease to breed and inhabit the general area.
An impending further decline of bird numbers in the ACT.

This is from one of the rare times where we got close enough to the feeding flamingos to get a decent photo. Their delicate pink color comes from beta-carotene, a red-orange pigment that’s found in high amounts within the algae, brine fly larvae, and brine shrimp that flamingos eat in their wetland environment.
===============
From Wikipedia: The lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and western India. Birds are occasionally reported from further north, but these are generally considered vagrants.
Characteristics:
The lesser flamingo is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is a tall and large bird by most standards. The species can weigh from 1.2 to 2.7 kg (2.6 to 6.0 lb). The standing height is around 80 to 90 cm (31 to 35 in). The total length (from beak to tail) and wingspan are in the same range of measurements, from 90 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in). Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, the only other Old World species of flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. Size is less helpful unless the species are together, since the sexes of each species also differ in height.
The lesser flamingo may be the most numerous species of flamingo, with a population that (at its peak) probably numbered up to two million individual birds. This species feeds primarily on Spirulina, algae which grow only in very alkaline lakes. Presence of flamingo groups near water bodies is indication of sodic alkaline water which is not suitable for irrigation use. Although blue-green in colour, the algae contain the photosynthetic pigments that give the birds their pink colour. Their deep bill is specialised for filtering tiny food items.
Predators:
Lesser flamingos are prey to a variety of species, including marabou storks, vultures, baboons, African fish eagles, jackals, hyenas, foxes, Great white pelicans, Martial Eagle, and big cats.
Breeding:
In Africa, where they are most numerous, the lesser flamingos breed principally on the highly caustic Lake Natron in northern Tanzania. Their other African breeding sites are at Etosha Pan, Makgadikgadi Pan, and Kamfers Dam. The last confirmed breeding at Aftout es Saheli in coastal Mauritania was in 1965. Breeding occurred at Lake Magadi in Kenya in 1962 when Lake Natron was unsuitable due to flooding. In the early 20th century, breeding was also observed at Lake Nakuru.
The species also breeds in southwestern and southern Asia. In 1974, they bred at the Rann of Kutch, but since then, only at the Zinzuwadia and Purabcheria salt pans in northwestern India. Some movement of individuals occurs between Africa and India.[
Like all flamingos, they lay a single chalky-white egg on a mound they build of mud. Chicks join creches soon after hatching, sometimes numbering over 100,000 individuals. The creches are marshalled by a few adult birds that lead them by foot to fresh water, a journey that can reach over 20 mi (32 km).

A surreal bioluminescent alien entity standing in a shadowy, otherworldly environment. The creature has a soft, organic body with octopus-like limbs and layered, coral-textured skin in teal, violet, and deep sea green hues. Embedded throughout its form are glowing, lens-like orbs radiating magenta and amber light. Its head is a translucent dome containing a cracked, molten core glowing like liquid fire. Ultra-high detail, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, dark sci-fi atmosphere, hyper-realistic textures, and an eerie yet majestic presence.
This collection presents a breathtaking journey through diverse terrestrial biomes, reimagining the raw beauty of our planet through a synthetic lens. From the ethereal golden mists of a waking forest and the crystalline clarity of alpine rivers to the jagged, volcanic scars of primordial lands and the vibrant, sun-drenched cathedrals of coral reefs. Each environment is a study in light, texture, and atmospheric depth, blending hyper-realistic detail with a touch of the sublime. These landscapes explore the intersection of classical nature photography aesthetics and the boundless possibilities of modern generative tools, offering a contemplative look at worlds both familiar and imagined.
