Seems like Sioux City-Omaha-Lincoln-Des Moines wouldn't be bad options either, climate-wise. Just don't live too close to the Platte or Missouri rivers when springtime floods jump the levees.

So the Oregon thing is because of a rumor going around Facebook spread by right-wing sites that ‘Antifa’ is starting fires

same poo poo happens in every major natural disaster or other breakdown of order these days, especially in chudlands

the instant that the authorities get overwhelmed, the milita-inclined types start spreading rumors of evil leftist outsiders committing crimes. it's just to provide themselves with an excuse to take to the streets with guns to hunt down anyone they dislike (mostly minorities) while emergency services are busy elsewhere

Nvm let me half assed math this

Edit. Okay so the 2017 British Columbia fires burned 1.2 million hectares, and is estimated to put out very roughly 150 million tons of CO2

The current fires are at 1.3 million hectares, so over 150 million tons.

Australias Black Summer bushfires earlier this year are estimated to have burnt more than 18 million hectares and released between 650 million and 1.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. Australia annual emissions are around 531 million tonnes in a normal year.

wildfires emit ~5 - 10% of our yearly CO2 contributions. or used to, anyway.
