Scroll in and out to see the multitude of fires and "hot spots" identified by satellite. It looks like fires primarily in the western US and Alaska. Unreal!

Thanks for the post and linky.

I’m not following: Are you suggesting that FReepers become beholden to propaganda? You do understand the nature of the leftist argument for the root cause of the fires, don’t you? Never mind that it’s a natural process under which the eastern US has evolved for THOUSANDS of years.

What’s next: A “gee golly gosh” post about record high temperatures to reinforce the leftist narrative, all while ignoring that the entire Pacific Rim is under the influence of a massive La Niña effect?

Shall I be obligated to view posts about CO2 concentrations to highlight the oppression of the American worker?

Not apologizing for my tone.

If the nature of the fires is incredible to FReepers (nothing new to me), I suggest using that tool in front of you and perform some due diligence on what is properly labeled “fire ecology.”

The wildfires are predictable. It’s a desert/dry lands, hardly any water, no forest management.

Actually, it is not as bad as last year so far.
Poor forest management due to environmentalist demands is the main culprit.
Forest fires are almost exclusively in the West. Midwest and East are a lot more humid and the forests are mostly privately owned. Private owners take better care about preventing forest fires.

The el nino cycle is driven by the 11 year solar sunspot cycle. El ninos usually occur on the upswing of the solar cycle after the sunspot lull. During this solar cycle that upswing phase occurs in 2022. So if this were a normal solar cycle there would be an el nino in 2022. However, the last solar cycle was so weak that there was an el nino vortex reversal in 2019.

Looks like a lot of them are spot fires caused by lighting and quickly extinguished by firefighters or rain - 0.1 acres.
