An interesting read

“The rise of Fascism across the globe is directly linked to attempts to stifle any mitigation of the climate crisis. The Ukraine War, what’s happening in the Middle East, the surging power of the Oligarch class, each one influences the other in some way.”
Climate Crisis Update 1
quote:But in the manufactured chaos it’s easy to lose clarity. That’s why I’m regularly going to be delivering one of these Climate Crisis Updates, as I did with the Iran War — to give the overarching issue the focus it needs.
I’ll not only be looking at the impact of climate change on the planet, but also attempts to fight back — from tree-planting and rewilding to electric vehicles, clean energy and legal frameworks.
All these posts will be left free to all, hopefully to be used as a resource and shared where necessary.

150 structures so far. That fire grew from 3 acres to almost 25,000 in one day. Still growing and not contained.
Colorado has miles and miles of land currently on fire. And yet people are fighting about whether we should ban fireworks. Really?

These fires are south of Denver, so pretty far. I was more worried about my son's wedding venue, but that still seems a good distance away for now.
Yeah, cosplayig military battles never made much sense to me either. Especially now. With veterans with PTSD, pets that are terrified, and extreme drought and fire danger, why not go to drone shows??

Grooch.. Interesting, and here we have Trump actively working to destroy habitat for endangered species.. Currently the sandhill cranes which had people helping them fight back from only 15 to 500.. Now they want to destroy their habitat.
And currently, two more forever toxic chemicals, that had never previously been allowed in the US, have been approved.
Karuuna, same here, fireworks crazed people, no matter that they are so dangerous to life, limb, housing and environment!
I sure hope the wedding venue is spared!
Drone shows are awesome! But just this morning there were posts on Next Door by people relieved that 4 cities had decided to go with fireworks instead of drones.
And the danger isn't new. I lived in Fullerton CA from 1979 to 1986 and every year there were roof fires caused by bottle rockets on shake shingle roofs.

My a/c died sometime between 12:30 (came home for lunch) and 5 pm ( when I got home.) Thank God I have a mini split in the main bedroom where I have locked myself in.
Right now its 78° outside and 86° and humid inside.
I spent all day at work with no a/c in 90° weather. Put a fork in me, I am done.
P.S. I just turned on the mini split and its 82° in my bedroom. Come on mini split, you can do it!

Two more fires today, and the others mostly grew larger. Pretty soon the whole state will be on fire at this rate.
One small town completely surrounded. I'm guessing we'll lose it entirely.

Well, DC might catch on fire this weekend with the way things are going. Interesting article. And why are they starting them so late at night?

“The show, billed by the Trump administration as the largest pyrotechnic display in history, will include some 850,000 fireworks in a roughly 40-minute show expected to start at 10:30 pm or 11 pm.”
Get out your N95 masks. Trump is going to do to the air what he did to the reflecting pool.
Trump failed to learn from the last time he Hormuz’d the fireworks in 2019:
“What was billed as the biggest fireworks display ever in the nation’s capital was a bust for viewers on the National Mall, where the pyrotechnics were hard to see through their own smoke.”
The Tidal Basin is low lying and if it’s humid with little wind, the smoke will be trapped in the area. If asthma sufferers don’t bring their inhalers and they get trapped in the crowds on the Mall, this could end very badly.
Fireworks on Mall likely to cause hazardous air pollution, documents show
quote:The combustion from large fireworks displays typically causes significant pollution because it generates fine particulate matter, also known as PM2.5. These small particles can penetrate deep into the heart and lungs, causing irritation and in some cases asthma attacks and other illnesses.
A draft air-quality analysis, based on the National Park Service’s modeling, states that people should “avoid prolonged exposure” to the pollution around the Mall.

Yep, since they won't let him remodel everything I figured he would just burn it down, the man has no common sense, IMO.

Here’s a view near the Cottonwood Fire in Utah this afternoon.
Beaver County Emergency Management elevated the North Creek and Manderfield areas to SET status.
Residents are urged to be prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice or leave now if you feel unsafe! This is an extremely dangerous wildfire!

American 250 Fair closed due to excessive heat, it felt like 109, so they closed and reopen at 5pm. They are hoping for a cool down, but I don't think that is really going to help much.

I'm at work running around or sitting in 92° muggy weather. Then I will go home to a 92° house because we can't get the a/c fixed til after the weekend.

BREAKING: The famous Bishop Castle in Rye, Colorado may be overtaken by the Aspen Acres Fire soon. This is horrific situation.
The monster wildfire is less than 200 yards from the Bishop Castle.
This is so sad.
