Climate continues to change.

We know how to reuse it. We make those magic crystal I linked to and use them as tiny batteries for pacemakers. It's only a matter of time until we figure out how to mesh a bunch of them together to run smart phones, people smarter than me are already working on it.

Meth?

The Blob.

Bill Gates is backing a technology that concentrates sunlight to generate temperatures of 1,000 degrees. It looks like a mosaic of mirrors.

"While solar farms generate electricity for homes and businesses, this process is designed for manufacturing plants that produce cement, steel, or petrochemicals."

I like when climate change deniers do something stupid and then nature immediately whoops their ass. Like that preacher who was all, "Climate change isn't real" and then his house caught on fire.

Sorry, what does climate change being real or not have to do with someone's house burning down?

Or are you just happy someone your don't like lost his house?

A bit of education for you.

Got it.

Schadenfreude.

(Before you dismiss that as not being responsive to your point, you should investigate WHY wildfires happen - I mean, even before all this global warming )

One could just google: are the number of wildfires really increasing?

Or: Is the average size of wildfires increasing?

Or: Are wetter winters contributing to larger wildfires?

But I get it, that would require reading and thinking...

We actually spend quite a lot of effort and money stamping out wildfires before they become wild. If we didn't you'd see quite a lot MORE fire activity than we do. In fact, wildfires are natural. There are actually trees that cannot germinate without wildfires.

Frankly, if someone wants to build a home in a wildfire zone expect it be burned down once in a while. Same with flood zones. Quake zones. Volcanoes.

You want to reduce mankind's impact on the planet? Stop fucking with the forest fires.

See, part of the problem with not knowing what the hell is going on in the world around you is that jokes fly over your head. If you knew things, you might disagree, but at least you would have gotten the joke.

I never stop being surprised here, I will say that.

Derp derp the bread basket's on fire and the place that makes our medicine is underwater and I don't know enough about it to understand when people make references to it. Of course I don't believe in something I literally know nothing about.

Dude you literally just proved you didn't understand the basic concept of FIRE. Bow out gracefully.

It is a type of fungus growing in a tree canker, probably initially caused by a hard freeze. Hint...maybe I know a bit more than you think about fires...lol.

And how would I know what you know? Cool. Then you know that fires occur naturally (too).

It's all natural.

Except the digging and pumping.

Exactly. Digging it out can prevent leaching into aquifers, and pumping keeps it from bubbling up and causing toxic harm to flora and fauna.
