Woke up to bright orange air outside, yet again. It's cool that this is happening multiple times a year now. We're pretty close to the evacuation warning zone this time. Evacuating in this toxic air, with no car, would be pretty fun.

Pryor on Fire posted:That's a stupid, naive platitude. If we kill all the species and make vast swaths of the globe uninhabitable then we have killed the planet for humans. Who gives a poo poo about the fungus on the rocks five million years from now? I certainly do not. a lichenologist would since they are critical for creating soil from the barren rocks likely to be in overabundance after humans have had their fun.

This region is pretty hosed long-term, I love Santa Rosa and our cheesy-rear end Peanuts statues and absurd overabundance of brewpubs, but I'm gonna look into moving and I'd recommend anyone else living in the area do the same. Just the damage this poo poo is doing to my lungs alone, god.

remember that after the End Permian, it took ten million years or so to recover. we’ve got plenty of time for another sapient species to evolve, look at an inch-thick layer of weird sediment in a cliff face, and hopefully learn from our mistakes

This isn't even on the old burn scars, it's a fresh new area between scars that hasn't burned in a really long time.

It's really cool when wondering if you have to evacuate just becomes a regular thing 3+ months of the year. "Oh, the leaves and air are turning orange, is it Potentially Fleeing For My Life season already?"

"Oh, the leaves and air are turning orange, is it Potentially Fleeing For My Life season already?" Most trees on the planet aren't going to survive the next 40 years. So we can probably expect some serious rip roaring fires and a fuckton more smoke with all the oncoming dead wood. Complications has issued a correction as of 17:48 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Sonoma County Supervisor Susan Gorin evacuated her property in the Oakmont community of Santa Rosa at about 1 a.m. She is rebuilding a home damaged in the 2017 fires. Gorin said she saw three neighboring houses in flames as she fled early Monday. “We’re experienced with that,” she said of the fires. “Once you lose a house and represent thousands of folks who’ve lost homes, you become pretty fatalistic that this is a new way of life and, depressingly, a normal way of life, the megafires that are spreading throughout the West.”

More that the thought process shouldn't be, "welp looks like we're burning down again, guess there's nothing to be done new normal blah blah," and instead should be, "this should come as a wake up call that we need to drastically change our habits and patterns and society or else we are doomed to repeat this."

Like, they're my favorite plant. That makes me very sad It does seem like on a wider scale, though, if we can predict what a region is going to end up at, we can start planting things now that will thrive in the new environment. I realize that's easier said than done, but . . . it's not necessarily ALL doom 'n gloom. It's a shame there's no cheap and easy way to desalinate the ocean and just spray that all over the place.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:well she’s a loving idiot A lot of the Napa/Sonoma area is pretty urbanized and not terribly remote, not many people thought those types of developments would be meaningfully threatened until 1/4 of Santa Rosa burned down a few years back. It's not like Paradise where it's a clear case of "this place is unfit for human habitation." There are also plenty of idiots living in gigantic cabins up in the surrounding hills among bone-dry oaks and pines, though.
