2024 Wildfire season. :(

blakes said:
New fire near Denver started late last night. That makes three on the front range.

My old man was saying the illegals are starting these fires. Anyone else think this? If this were true, I would think there would be WAY WAY more fires. I dunno.

I watched a video/read a story about all the fires that started in Kannuckistan last year (I think).

Had satellite footage of dozens or hundreds starting at the exact same time. Coincidentally of course.

lightning storms tends to do that...

I saw the same footage. but they only showed what they wanted you to see.
if you went back 24 hrs before the smoke started, you would have seen the storms that had gone through.

Calfire stats for the year so far :barf:

This graph is a bit misleading. 2023 was a thankfully slow fire year in california. The big years were 2020 and 2021 I believe. 2020 had the Creek fire at 380,000 acres on top of several other large fires and in 21 was the Dixie fire at 963,000 acres. It seems like they conveniently left those years off the graph to make this year look worse. My guess is that 19, 22, and 23 were low enough fire years to skew that 5year average to be fairly low.

I ran the dusy-ershim trail last in 2020 during the creek fire and I'm supposed to go again in late september, but my guess is that the forest will be shut down by then and that trip won't happen.

Always change the statistics to fit the narrative.

heard about this on the radio this morning. Bet a lot of people are going to be pissed when they cant work from home but cant go to the office either.
 
Sorry for the bad info. Could it be due to the "As of July 30th" part of the comment, just stating that at this point in the season it's looking worse than those previous years?

Yes...and that's what they want everyone to not think about so it scares everyone and leads them to believe that climate change is killing everyone.
 
I'm not sure if the Park fire smoke has blown down to Georgetown or if I've got a near by fire started... pretty strong smoke smell this morning. CHP Traffic and Watch Duty so far aren't showing anything nearby.

one way to find out... I contacted them :laughing:
they did reply within an hour to me.
good for them on that

here is their reply:

this graphic is representative of YTD statistics. This means we are saying from 1(/1/2023 - 7/30/23) 25,000 acres burned and we responded to 3,746 fires. Reflectively this year in that same time frame (1/1/2024 - 7/30/24) 751,327 acres burned and we have responded to 4,613 fires.

The difference between the numbers you are seeing on our website and this graphic is the 2023 numbers on the website are reflective of the entire 2023 year, this graphic showcases the comparison of this years stats so far to stats for 2023 in the same time frame.

That makes sense, but I still feel like its a misleading graph. There isn't anyone that is going to look at it quickly without thinking "OMG we are all going to die!" As has been said, they figured out a dataset to support a narrative.
 
Looks like we got solar panels that just went up:shaking:

I doubt it, maybe. Some are done by nature but a large chuck are done by shitty people. Easy to blame some other group when the locals are just as bad if not worse.

This seems to give better hot spot outlines, rather than perimeters for evacuation.

I followed the smoke all the way from home to past Elko. Reno to Lovelock was really bad.

Same thing happened here in Washington and zoregon during the hear spell that disrupted the Antifa/Blm summer of love. As soon as the weather cooled off the protests started up again. Labeled as climate change…
