The numeracy involved in these events is hard to comprehend. We can easily imagine a structure fire or even a block of buildings burning. But over 10,000 is very hard to parse.

Similar to the pandemic when we moved from dozens of deaths to millions.

And there are multiple before/after images of more than 7000 homes destroyed:

Excellent (as always).

I’m struck by how the Camp fire dwarfs all of the others both in acreage and structure count. And I’ll note that categorizing the Palisades and Eaton fires as being distinct entities may result in obscuring the current situation in future years.

Fascinating depiction of how global warming aka climate change is affecting LA; and indeed to the whole world. Yet some would prefer not to believe

Those that choose to read and listen to right wing wing-nuts is a right winger. Don’t fool yourselves, you know what you are! And for those listening to friends and neighbors pushing lies, don’t be a sucker! Do your own research! It’s readily available!
