Apocalypse NOW.

[Devonian]

I think this is largely typical Daily Mail.

The first photo with the surfer looks like most of the debris is organic, seaweed, sticks/branches etc.

The power station photo is largely steam/water vapour being discharged from the cooling towers.

The picture of all the waste computer equipment looks like a recycling area, as all of the electronics have been removed and it is just the plastic casings etc, which will almost certainly be recycled.

The Canadian forests are commercial woodland, they will be replanted and harvested again in 20 or 30 years time.

Ice and snow melts when it gets warmer, usually in the summer….

The most amazing part for me was the extent of those Spanish greenhouses!! Wow!
