Spokane, Washington on fire. “Climate change is why sparks can find so much more to burn…and can burn things faster”

The greater Spokane area has about 500,000 people living in it. There are video’s of homes burning right now. This is the best it will be for the next 500 years.

Are you awake yet?

There was no visible smoke here this am, but the air reeks of burnt everything.

Humans are destroying the ability for humans and other species to live safely, anywhere and everywhere.

West Spokane up in smoke … toxic plumes everywhere.

Caribou suffer terribly in the heat of summer when the mosquitos and black flies come out in the heat. We are getting more and more hot days due to climate change.

I’m not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Here is a version in Fahrenheit my American compatriots:

Spokane used to be on our climate migrant list, but we're sticking with the Cascadia subduction zone as a better location to weather climate change 🤔We were just talking about 2027, told my wife 2026 will be bad, 2027, well, you know …www.spokesman.com/stories/2026…

Italy is fining climate rebels €10,000 for daring to protest.

Court cases, plainsclothes police stalking, threats.

250 constitutional scholars say the laws threaten civil liberties.

I say it’s a road to end-times fascism.

Time for us all to follow this site. That's a lot of fire related highway closures. But sure, more coal mines, more carbon infrastructure.#cndpoli

Not just highway closures, but widespread power outages.
