Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project
50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex
and lowered them into 40 plastic burrows

Klimaat enorm aan het drammen met talloze overstromingen en hitterecords
Steeds meer mensen ergeren zich aan het gedram van het klimaat. Met hittegolven in Europa, bosbranden in Canada, Zwitserland en de Canarische Eilanden, en aardverschuivingen in Colombia voelt het voor veel mensen alsof het klimaat echt over de schreef gaat.

This explains why the product shots looked so weird on the models — plaids with perfect lines, weird folds, and odd artifacting when zoomed. The cardboard cut-out model was just the uncanny bonus.
