Maybe warm winds carried it to Öland. Maybe it got lost. Maybe global warming carried it there.
Maybe the thousands have flocked to Öland because they appreciate nature.
My question is, are we looking for bad news?
A few dead leaves are often left over on the tree till spring. Which do you see, the buds or the withered leaves?
By the way @europeanspodcast, what do you mean ‘Genuinely’?

I certainly don't want to neglect the terrible things going on. But the world actually is moving in the right direction. Fewer people live in extreme poverty today than when I was born. Somehow I feel that saying the 'world is going wrong' is a little bit ignorant and somehow 'The West' devaluing all of the people lifted out of extreme poverty. We can actually eliminate extreme poverty in our lifetime!
