California’s famed Joshua trees are burning up fast. They might be impossible to replace

“They go up like they’re soaked in diesel fuel. They burn real well.”

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Sad to lose anything natural, takes years to replace.
