glassgowkiss Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 FEAR! I mean wtf? fire creating it's own weather? duh dumbshit- nothing new. Sequoiadendron giganteum are fucking FIRE RESISTANT! Yes dumb fuck, they actually NEED fire, so the cones can open. And this fire has nothing to do with global warming. How about misguided policy of fire suppression starting in 1974. How about clear cutting and replanting monocultures? How about people building houses in a middle of the forest. It's the same nonsense, with building on the flood planes. That whole article is just fear mongering at it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineK Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Seems like a general article fit for most city dwellers who don't go out in the woods at night. Rugged Outdoorsmen like GGK shouldn't waste their time reading stuff like that.

ivan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 on the other hand, i AM deeply afraid that this fire will burn all the shade that's so essential in keeping me from going postal while down there in 1000 degree heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldfinger Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 And this fire has nothing to do with global warming. Â Really? You talk to folks in the wildland fire and forest management business and not only are conditions MORE dangerous, but fires are burning so hot that very few of the benefits of a "natural" fire in a "fire dependent" ecosystem accrue. Â Put another way, fires are now behaving in ways they often did not in the past, becoming much more dangerous and burning hotter. Â Round here trees are being killed even when there is no torching or crowning, just normal understory burns. Â It's actually really scary, but for none of the reasons you cite.

AlpineK Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Then there's our old buddy Mr./Ms. Mountain Pine Beetle. Â [img:center]http://csfs.colostate.edu/images/graphics/barkbeetlefadergraphic.jpg[/img] Â A long time resident of course. Lacking persistent -40 degree weather periods helps the MPB ranks grow in number. Longer growing seasons resulting from rising average temperatures allows for 3 growth cycles in one year. Â Of course once all the forests are dead and burned that may pose a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Bike was stolen because the thief lost his job when the company he worked for needed to cut costs after reporting losses due to changing weather patterns.
