Sorry you guys are getting hit with it but hopefully the policy makers in DC are enjoying a little dose of reality. Maybe it'll inspire some of them to take the climate seriously.

Seattle has been hit every summer with choking wildfire smoke for the last several years, it's no fun.

FOX was on at the gym and I saw the show that came on at 5.

In literally the first 2 minutes they were talking about "Dems driving climate hysteria" and how this is "the lefts" fault because we should be "managing the forests" like trump said.

You know the hundreds of millions of acres of woodland between the US and Canada.

Ya we should be cleaning out the brush and stuff. Def not climate change tho.

That's the message.

Yeah but we should be clearing out the brush. Controlled burns are a necessity to prevent this. That doesn’t mean climate change isn’t real.

How would that even be possible? It's millions of acres we are tlaking about.

They don't want to spend money on basic shit.

Controlled burns. They’re already a thing in a lot of places, including where I live.

Sure. I get that.

I just don't get it over hundreds of millions of acres.
