Oslo has hardly dropped below 30 since May
Would global warming happened during the times when humans were not around?
I mean, sure, we'll fúck the planet up, but is this just an event that would have happened in a 1000's-1000000's year cycle anyway?
:tinfoilhat:
But quite frankly, who cares? I'm enjoying the weather.
that was unchanged for 20 million years before by introducing 10 million* tons of lead particulate into it. This will have had no effect whatsoever on anything and attempts to say otherwise are just the mischief making of lefty troublemakers who want to stand in the way of man's progress (oil company profits).
*this figure could be a wild guess
We went from 4 1/2 feet of snow in April to mid twenties within three or four weeks. It’s been warm ever since then (apart from one week around midsummer) and now it’s baking hot and in the 30s. Hardly any rain as well since the winter which is why everything is burning.
I appreciate it may come across as insensitive, but how do so many people die in a forest fire? It's not like it moves at the speed of light, is it? Surely people see the fire encroaching upon their home and leave, realising that throwing buckets of water on it would be futile.
Why stay & try and defend it? This is what home insurance is for.
This theory assumes that the fire had got incredibly close. Indeed, close enough to burn you as well.
You would think that one of the following things may have happened prior to that:
i) You know there is a forest fire in the vicinity & are therefore watchful over its progress (even at night).
ii) You are awoken by a neighbour/the fire service/the police as they see the fire rapidly progress towards your property.
iii) You know the fire is close to choose to move elsewhere until all is said and done.
Something doesn't add up & I cannot fathom what.
or perhaps the local weather conditions, changed by the massive fúcking fire, cause the fire to circle around on itself and trap animals (all of which have an survival instincts) within?
I admit that, say, a racoon, doesn't try and rescue its fúcking ipad from a burning house before beating a hasty retreat.
I am actually.
Fundamentally the terrain and wind speed are the things that make the fire unpredictable.
A strong wind fuels the fire which in turn creates a strong wind, which fuels the fire...
The unpredictability of the fire is what kills.
That and gross stupidity
