Screenshot of some of the fires currently burning on the US west coast...

EOSDIS Satellite view of the west coast: Satellite view of smoke on the west coast, and fires marked with an orange dot. There are a cluster in northern CA and souther Oregon, and another in British Columbia. All spew smoke, making the first, second, and third quadrants of the satellite image hazy

My first photo shows all fires, including new within the last 24hrs that are still <1 acre.

This is everything over 100 acres.

S01e01 of “extrapolations” feels very close now.

Such a great show...the later episodes are terrifying

Wrong. Eventually everything flammable will burn away and they wont have anything to worry about.

It doesn't work that way. You let unmanaged burns happen and it converts forest to chaparral and chaparral to grasslands. The resulting plant communities grow a lot when it rains, and then burn when they dry out

I was just goofing.
