California Wildfires Threaten Giant Trees of Sequoia National
Park
[quote]More firefighting resources were being brought in
Thursday to battle two forest fires that have shut down
California's Sequoia National Park and threaten its ancient
trees.
A national interagency management team "equipped to handle the
largest and highest-complexity emergency situations" was
scheduled to take command of the firefighting effort, according
to a statement from Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. The
two fires were being managed collectively as the KNP Complex.
Sequoia National Park has been closed and its headquarters and
resident employees have been evacuated, along with a portion of
the community of Three Rivers outside the entrance.
The Colony and Paradise fires named for the areas where they
started were ignited by lightning strikes last week and on
Wednesday covered about 14 square miles (36 square kilometers)
in California's rugged Sierra Nevada.
The Colony Fire as of Wednesday was about a mile (1.6
kilometers) from Giant Forest, a grove of about 2,000 sequoias,
according to Mark Ruggiero, fire information officer for the two
national parks.
Ground crew access to the Colony Fire was limited and the
extreme steepness of the Paradise Fire terrain prevented any
ground access, requiring extensive aerial water and retardant
drops on both fires.
The fires are among the latest in a long summer of blazes that
have scorched more than 3,500 square miles (9,065 square
kilometers) in California, destroying hundreds of homes.
The park's historic wooden entrance sign dating to 1935 was
covered in fire-resistant wrapping, and hoses were in place at
the headquarters area for structure protection.
More than 300 firefighters were on the lines, aided by
helicopters and air tanker planes when smoke conditions allowed
them to fly.
Giant sequoias, some thousands of years old, grow on the western
flank of the Sierra. They are adapted to fire, which can help
them to thrive by releasing seeds from their cones and creating
clearings that allow young sequoias to grow.
But Ruggiero noted that the extraordinary intensity of fires in
current climate conditions can overwhelm sequoias, a scenario
that happened when the 2020 Castle Fire killed many trees in the
region.
Studies estimate that 7,500 to 10,600 large sequoias were killed
by that fire, along with many of other sizes, according to the
National Park Service.[/quote]

Russia’s Wildfires Are Bigger Than All Other World Fires
Combined[quote]
Russia has the largest forests on earth, with one-fifth of all
trees. But this summer, 70,000 square miles have burned—more
than the rest of the world’s wildfires combined.

2/3s of young people think the government has utterly failed in
protecting the world from climate change, and that they are
dismissive of the concerns of young people.
How many of those 2/3s are willing to embrace an autocratic form
of government which is willing to tackle climate change and put
the needs of society as a whole in front of the desires of the
elite?
[quote]Largest study ever from University of Bath: 56% of young
adults worldwide aged 16-25 think humanity is doomed
[...]
A new, comprehensive global survey illustrates the depth of
anxiety many young people are feeling about climate change.
[...]
Their findings include the following aggregate opinions about
climate change among young adults (from Figure 1, Table 2 &
Table 3 of the literature):
59% were very or extremely worried, 84% at least moderately
worried about climate change
>50% felt sad, anxious, angry, powerless, and guilty
>45% said their feelings about climate change negatively
affected their daily life and functioning
Along with specific thoughts about climate change:
83% - people have failed to care for the planet
75% - the future is frightening
56% - humanity is doomed
55% - less opportunity than parents
55% - most valued will be destroyed
52% - family security will be threatened
39% - hesitant to have children
And specific thoughts about their government's response to
climate change:
65% - failing young people
64% - lying about impact of actions taken
60% - dismissing people's distress
58% - betraying me/future generations
36% - acting in line with climate science
33% - protecting me, planet & future gens
31% - can be trusted
31% - doing enough to avoid catastrophe
30% - taking concerns seriously enough
[...]
As one young person said: 'I don’t want to die. But I don’t want
to live in a world that doesn’t care about children and
animals.'
When our research team first read these results, we were moved
by the scale of emotional and psychological effects of climate
change upon the children of the world, and the number who
reported feeling hopeless and frightened about the future of
humanity.[/quote]

When children don't want to live in the world you're creating
you know you're just a worthless piece of shit who murdered
their own inner child as quick as they could just so they could
be 'adulterated' like the rest of these clowns that are
currently inhabiting this planet! Most of you "adults" are
absolute morons!
