    I’m in the Sierras, at 2000’ and we are getting 107° temperatures for a week straight. Way above the average for this time of year.
  • @mikusoxlongius
    Satellites detected heat anomalies appear nearly simultaneously across Canada last year was an interesting phenomenon.
  • @viasevenvai
    113 for Phoenix should not have made the news.

    I guess Gavin still doesn’t have the money for proper forestry management. I mean, those “guests” need the money, right?
  • God is watching. I think we have diverted away from the right path. We should pray to God, the most powerful. It is only him that can prevent such calamities.

    California burning again as usual, and a 120 degrees in Arizona is average every single year.

    It looks like a yearly ritual to me, So why are we here and why are people still living in such areas prone to fire 🔥 outbreaks each year.

    YOU VOTED FOR THIS CALIFORNIA! Why do I say that? 'Gruesome Newsom' won't allow the forests to be 'managed'. No logging the old dead trees, no clearing of clutter on the forest floor, which leaves massive amounts of fuel just waiting to explode... Stopping everything that would at least slow down a fire. Instead? Well.... We all know what his priorities are.
