Cyclone Kenneth 'wipes out' Mozambique villages

Cyclone Kenneth 'wipes out' Mozambique villages

Cyclone Kenneth has ‘entirely wiped out’ some villages in Mozambique, after making landfall on Thursday, according to a UN official.

One aid worker said it looked like areas had been ‘run over by a bulldozer’.

It comes just a month after Cyclone Idai killed 900 people across three countries, including Mozambique.

At least they don't have serious first world problems like Joe Biden not apologizing properly.

Changes in the biosphere's composition in the last 12,000 years

Since 10,000 BCE, human biomass has gone up about 200x. Wild animal biomass has gone down by about 95% over the same time. Domesticated animal biomass has increased by 20x in the last century.

If that is not a sign of human overgrowth on the planet, nothing is. But hey, educating women is going to fix it all. GMAFB.
