Remember the Colorado fires that destroyed half a suburb last week? Well good news, it appears the fire was started by some wacky cultists that everyone hates so we now have the perfect scapegoat. Game over! There has been zero discussion of climate change or fire planning or any changes at all required of anyone. Nobody is being held to account and no questions are being asked of anyone in power, least of all our drill baby drill oil industry governor, and there is no discussion of anything changing, ever. Instead all the local idiots are just praising the police and fire investigators and demanding they be given more money. This is really the perfect neoliberal response to escalating disasters, just gotta find or invent a scapegoat first. Pay no attention to the fact that the wind and fires keep growing.

Yeah this is it, we are finally at the point where entire cities are just wiped out by the fires. This happened. And our response is that everyone on social media is screaming about how dangerous cults are and how we need new anti cult laws while also saying that the police are amazing heroes and we need to give them a pay raise and more bonuses because of the fire. Every disaster is more loving stupid than the one before

There was at least some initial attention on the climate change aspect of the fire. https://mobile.twitter.com/samuelbrasch/status/1476967021866893315 The difficulty is that most fires are started by people being dumb rather than malicious, it's hard to get everyone to stop being dumb, and climate change exacerbates the conditions where fires quickly get out of control so entire cities are going to keep burning. quote:One recent study examined all home-threatening wildfires in the U.S. between 1992 and 2015. It found people started 97 percent of those blazes through things like debris burning, cigarettes, fireworks — and even mower blades hitting rocks and sparking fires.

It occurred to me maybe two or three years ago that a lot of our firsthand experiences of climate change will be... experiencing tons of traffic. Sitting in traffic. More traffic. That's going to be a lot of it. Finally experienced it myself after a surprise early morning freezing rain event. Sat in traffic for 5 hours until the boss said okay just go home. Beats working? Edit: for perspective, my commute is 15-20 minutes. So five hours is a lot... and I got just over half of the way there. Boss said go home after I sent an article that said the highway is just closed. Not slow or traffic heavy but just entirely closed. It's the only way to get to my job too, the only available detour would take maybe 30-45 minutes without any traffic. Perry Mason Jar has issued a correction as of 18:49 on Jan 5, 2022 |

quote:In June 2021, an unprecedented heat wave hit the Pacific Northwest and Canada, killing an estimated 1,400 people. On June 28, Seattle reached 108 F — an all-time high — while the village of Lytton in British Columbia recorded Canada’s highest-ever temperature of 121.3 F on June 29, the day before it was destroyed by a heat-triggered wildfire.

Rare miss from Chen WeihuaStereotype posted:i remember before covid, people had hypothesized that a halt to air travel would cause a dramatic and nearly instantaneous increase in temperatures since huge amounts of suspended particulates emitted by jet exhaust that normally reflect light and increase the albedo of the earth would suddenly be gone. looks like that might be the case! Flying empty planes is good now. Sorry but we must face this hard truth
