Smoke coast to coast!?

[BattleofHodow]

It appears the Western wildfire smoke has blown all the way to New York judging by the sky & mountains.

A fire caused at least partially by climate change / man.

It is like everything we touch turns to sh!t.

Bravo Humans, you have failed to make a better World as intended.

This happened Last Saturday year, as well.

The new norm, weather wackiness.

New York City has been enveloped in the worst air quality in the world as cities across the eastern US were shrouded in smoke from wildfires raging several thousand miles away on the country’s west coast.

actually, the smoke is probably from the Ontario fires........

Maybe you should look at the history of wildfires before making idiotic statements guys...

People Cause Most U.S. Wildfires

Humans—not lightning—trigger most wildfires in the United States. According to a study published in February 2017 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 84 percent of the blazes that firefighters were called to fight between 1992 and 2012 were ignited by people. Some common ways that people start fires include discarding cigarettes, leaving campfires unattended, and losing control of prescribed burns or crop fires. Sparks from railroads and power lines, as well as arson, also routinely cause wildfires.

University of Colorado scientist Jennifer Balch and several colleagues came to their conclusion after analyzing reports of 1.6 million wildfires from a comprehensive’s fire occurrence database maintained by the U.S. Forest Service. As shown by the map above, almost all (80 percent or more) of the fires in the Mediterranean ecosystems of central and southern California, the temperate forests of the eastern United States, and the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest are caused by humans. In contrast, lightning started the largest percentage of fires in the forests of the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest. In Florida, which is moist but has a great deal of lightning, between 60 and 80 percent of wildfires were caused by people.

The researchers also found that human-ignited fires tripled the length of the wildfire season. Though lightning-ignited fires were clustered in the summer, human-ignited fires occurred in the spring, fall, and winter as well, times when forests tend to be moist. During these seasons, people added more than 840,000 fires—a 35-fold increase over the number of lightning-started fires. In the eastern United States, fire activity became more extensive in the spring; in the West, human-ignited fires tended to extend the fire season in fall and winter. Despite the high number of incidents, human-ignited wildfires accounted for just 44 percent of the total area burned because many of them occurred in relatively wet areas and near population centers, where firefighters likely could quickly extinguish the fires before they spread.

The researchers also compared the wildfire reports to other satellite-based measurements of fire activity and forest health. For instance, by comparing to a Landsat-based record of burn scars—known as the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) project—they showed that both human-ignited and lightning-ignited wildfires have grown larger and more severe since 1992. For lightning fires, burning increased in mountainous parts of the West—not because there was more lightning, but because a warmer climate dried out forests. Among human-caused fires, there was an increase in large fires in the spring months in the Great Plains, possibly because climate change has prompted agricultural activities earlier in the year, Balch said.

Note that the new study does not suggest that 84 percent of all fires in the United States are caused by humans—just wildfires. Other research has shown that by raw numbers alone, most of the active fires that MODIS and other satellite sensors detect in the United States are prescribed fires and crop fires lit intentionally by land managers and farmers.

not sure why you think my post is idiotic......they've been talking about the haze from the Ontario fires here in Michigan all week and we keep New York downwind of us at all times.....

It is. It was plaguing us pretty badly last week, but most of it has moved east. It's still hazy though.

weird haven't been seeing any 'global warming is a liberal plot' threads from the right lately

and those 'covid is a hoax' threads are getting REAL scarce too

I wasn't particularly addressing your post. It is reasonable. Kielbasa's aren't.

Moonshi'ite is the mistress of that, she pontificated about the recent German floods, forgetting about the massive 1975 floods caused by the breaching of the Banqiao dam. It was quickly covered up by Mao despite hundreds of thousands dying.

The deadliest structural failure in history killed 170,000—and China tried to cover it up

Well the lawlessly hacked in tRump sewer rot influence has blown a tremendous amount of smoke from hell on humanity that has covid murdered and caused many more to go mad. Utter tRump et al pestilence on the world.
