While the world is discussing how to make CO2 emissions inclusive and gender-neutral, a huge landfill is on fire in Kuwait. The landfill contains about fifty million car tires. The fire has been burning for a week, with flames covering over 25 thousand square meters - visible even from space. Tons of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals such as benzene, xylene, ethylene, and acetone have been released into the atmosphere.

The tire landfill in Kuwait is about 30 years old, and tires are brought there from all over the world, but mostly from the US and Europe (surprise motherf**rs 😂). The last major fire occurred in 2012. It took over a month to extinguish.
