Yeah trees don't store carbon long term, just until they die and either burn or decompose. You could argue that deforestation breaks the zero-sum cycle since there are just less trees at any time storing carbon in them, but that's just a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the staggering amount of toxic goop we pump out of the ground and set on fire

A wildfire has broken out on the side of Burnaby Mountain, which is a mountain and forest reserve in the northern part of the city of Burnaby, BC (part of the Vancouver area). On top of Burnaby Mountain is Simon Fraser University, a rather large public research university.

Burnaby Mountain is surrounded by no fewer than six different petroleum and petroleum distillate storage and distribution facilities.

Sunny, clear skies, and between about 74 and 86 F for most of the summer. We only started seeing 90+ F temperatures a week or so ago.

Actually if you get enough smoke, the temperature goes down due to the sun being blocked out! :eng101:

Can confirm that was the case this evening in Vancouver. Supposed to be 28 C, ended up feeling more like 22 C on account of a nice blanket of all-american wildfire.

Gaia the Earth Mother. lmao

All those people are wrong. There's no soft, gentle, Earth Mother watching over her creations.

We have Gaia the Creator, Queen of Survival. She's not decked in pretty flowers, she's covered in the skins of those species deemed too weak to survive, using the bones of the dead as weapons while watching dispassionately the suffering of those in her stead, for her goal is not gentle cuddling but the honing of the capable and the use of the weak to fuel them.
