Scorched earth: U.S. wildfires near record level

Wildfires have burned a phenomenal 5.5 million acres across the U.S. so far this year, an area equal to the size of New Jersey.

This is the second-highest total in at least the past 25 years, according to data from the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. Only 2011, which saw 5.8 million acres charred as of July 23 of that year, had more. On average, at this point in the year, 3.5 million acres would have burned.

As of Thursday afternoon, 18 wildfires were burning in seven states, mostly in the West. This includes one in California's wine country that has forced numerous evacuations and is being fought by hundreds of firefighters, CALFIRE, the state's firefighting agency, reported. Another one is charring Glacier National Park in Montana.

Climate change isn't real, hahaha!!!!

I thought the oceans were absorbing 90% of the warming? Can't you pick a story and stick with it?

Want to see Matthew shut the fuck up? Watch this.

Matty, how much must we lower CO2 to stop forest fires? What does all the money we wasted in Climate research tell us about that?

Problem is that a lot of wasted energy, which is escapes into the sky. How could utilize the losses?
Sorry, i have bad English, but I hope you understand what I mean.
The fire is doing great thermal energy useless, in addition wood is raw material going for useless, and leave it behind just the dirt is. The more fortunate cases, if people cut down the trees and use the wood for their own purposes.

I know you are trying very hard to get your thoughts across and I commend you for it.

Wildfires are actually good for the environment!

They clear out underbrush that takes up otherwise needed rainfall. They kill weak and diseased trees, leaving healthy one to get a fresh restart. The ashes contain many nutrients that return to the earth where they provide for new growth.\

As for animals, the sick and weak perish while the healthy easily escape.

The only ones harmed are the ignorant humans who build in areas that should be left wild.

Massive wildfires like we saw in Oregon and Washington are not good for the environment at all. They destroy the environment. Soil erosion is much higher afterwards, and it takes a generation or better for the forest to begin to regrow to what it once was. Understory burning is good, crown fires are not, especially in evergreen forests.

How much do we have to lower CO2 to prevent any further wildfires?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We never had any wildfires when we were at 280PPM of CO2, amiright?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

In 1870, before the invention of the internal combustion engine, CO2 was (allegedly based upon fake proxy data) 280PPM. Back in those glory days we never had floods or fires. Not even one

 

[Crick]

Really? I've never heard anyone make that claim before Frank.

CO2 causes droughts...and fires.

Sureeeeeee

The amount of dumb you display is profound s0n!!!

I could sell you a bag of poop for $1,000.00 a pop if it was packaged just right!!!


So Einstein........what about Climate change is causing more forest fires?


Would you say it is drought s0n because if you did, would make you the perennial jackass on the whole board!!! Did you realize that s0n!!???

CO2 is like Shimmer -- it's a floor war AND a dessert topping

The denier cult troll CrazyFruitcake moronically imagines that his total ignorance of science constitutes a valid argument against the scientifically confirmed reality of human caused global warming and its consequent climate changes and disruptions. Retards like him are so incredibly clueless.

How does CO2 cause both floods and fires?

That is because he is a confused and very clueless retard who likes to argue with his own 'strawmen'.

My uncle is a supervisor for the wild-land fire control center for the Western US.

Oh, please tell us more. Please please please.

Maybe start with telling us more about the "wild-land fire control center for the Western US". Can you give us the actual agency name?

nobody cares

I think everyone here is very interested in having Billy fill in the details, even if you're not. After all, if he's got the expertise he claims, then he can educate us all.

How does one arrive at your age being so fucking stupid. Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air. Warm air in places of low humidity creates a higher probability of crown fires.

Let it burn.

Then the next one won't be as bad.

Just let it burn.

Then the next one won't be as bad.

Otherwise the next one is just going to be worse.

Has nothing to do with global warming.

Forest fires are forest fires. There have always been forest fires and there will always be forest fires.

What wonderful advice. I hope your house is in the way of the next conflagration. And, last summer, that is exactly what they had to do in Washington and Oregon. Just let the forests burn and try to save the small towns, ranches, and farms. This year we seen a large town in Northern Alberta all but destroyed by forest fire. And we will see more of this sort of thing as the northern forests continue to dry out.

Fokkers should not build homes in wilderness.

Fokkers who do build homes in wilderness should clear fire breaks around their buildings.

Fire fighters should not have to risk their lives for fokkers who built homes in wilderness.
