I cannot help but notice that none of the TV reporters
are giving the numbers about how many tons of carbon dioxide are being released by the forest fires,
or how the dark smoke and soot in the air absorbs more infra-red wavelengths of light being emitted upward from the warm earth,
enhancing what is wrongly termed “The Greenhouse Effect.”

It is a good time to reflect that 64 million years ago the asteroid hit rained down hot rocks and set forests afire all over the Earth,
so this is just a tiny, tiny, taste of that awful day,
or of “Nuclear Winter.”

I wonder what the
PM 2.5 uM pollution level is.
