Today I see a smokey orange/green haze covering the sun and my car is covered in a dusting of ash. My heart is broken for those most immediately impacted by these devastating fires and for the millions of beautiful acres lost. Thank you to the volunteers and first responders for your heroic dedication and brave sacrifice. ・・・ Repost: @earth @noah3929 California is on fire. More than 2.5 million acres of land have been destroyed (nearly 20x of what burned last year) and the fires are still blazing. This has been the most devastating and unprecedented fire season to date. Blazes are tearing through entire towns, destroying thousands of homes, and creating a thick blanket of smoke that leaves the sky ominously dark throughout the day. Helicopter pilots say rescue missions have been the ‘toughest flying’ they’ve ever done. Experts say that there is an undeniable link between these wildfires and climate change. While California’s climate has always been prone to fires, hotter average temperatures leave land dry and vulnerable. “Warmer temperatures dry the fuels, and all you need from there is a spark,” said Park Williams, a bioclimatologist at Columbia University. And the fires aren’t just in California, they’re affecting the entire West Coast. “This could be the greatest loss of human lives and property due to wildfire in our state’s history,” says the Governor of Oregon, Kate Brown.
