Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Mega-drought fires might become unstoppable at this rate.

How Bad Is the Bootleg Fire? It’s Generating Its Own Weather.

 

Yesterday the ground-level haze here in southern Wisconsin was heavy enough to impede visibility. Today the National Weather Service forecasts "areas of smoke between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m."

In my 50 years living in this state I cannot recall ever seeing "areas of smoke" in a weather forecast.

 

I wonder how long it will take before the Republican's stance on global warming becomes completely untenable with everyone except the brainwashed thirty percent.

 

Yeah, the sky here in the Southeast has been hazy all day, and to my knowledge, there are no fires even in the time zone. It's stuff blowing from out west.

 

With all the smoke and particles in the atmosphere, at least the moon is a really pretty orange here lately.

 

Thinking about the smoke season in the Inland Northwest, which has basically become an annual happening: We moved here in August 2009. There was no wildfire smoke that year, and until the summer of 2015, we would see maybe a handful of smoky/hazy days each year.
Since 2015, there's week after week of smoke every August and early September, with the smoky season starting in early July this year.
It's not noteworthy at all to smell and see wildfire smoke anymore. Something has changed for the worse in less than a decade.

 

It's been hazy here all week because of it.
It's also 90 with high humidity and no breeze. This is not my favorite time of year.

 

I’m 15 minutes from Reno and the air quality isn’t great

 

At 5:30 this morning, it was 72 degrees and 91% humidity.
That sucks.

 

Woke up to rain this morning in SoCal.
