They had to say climate change after NASA tries to erase the 1910 heat wave that was worse.

Fires. No refugees yet, but I know people that must have been burned out by where I used to live and the kids still do.

Also The Kokopelli is closed due to the owner being home defending whats left of his property after the Camp fire burned Paradise a couple years ago.

Praying for newly homeless. Wont be donating to any politicians this year. Charity starts at home. Time to spring clean too for Salvation Army donations of old appliances clothing bedding anything to take over also.

It's heartbreaking to see what's going on out there, and no surprise due to them refusing to do controlled burns that get rid of the fuel on the forest floor. Once again, it's the politicians fault.

Well it looks like the lightning has help. In the MSM footage I saw my friends from the Klamath Falls Rock & Arrowhead Club shop burnt to the ground. Not going to look the same again.

Lightning does get a lot of the blame and it is just going to get worse if the science holds.
Jump to 3 minutes for the lightning piece. I listen to him every morning for hard science others dont put out.

Hows about a little art to disrupt the thinking cycle?

Common sense from a computing point of view looking at online risks.

Ah the pleasantries of life down under. In my old age, I appreciate the living around somewhere your whole life and being aware of most all of the possible dangers. Something always can surprise you though. I suspect like Nettles the prick on the pointy end is Opal. The gemstone that gets around.

A team of scientists from the University of Queensland and King’s College London has found that the venom of Australian Dendrocnide trees contains previously unidentified neurotoxic peptides and that the 3D structure of these pain-inducing peptides is reminiscent of spider and cone snail venoms targeting the same pain receptors, thus representing a remarkable case of inter-kingdom convergent evolution of animal and plant venoms.
Australia notoriously harbors some of the world’s most venomous animals, but although less well known, its venomous flora is equally remarkable.

The giant stinging tree (Dendrocnide excelsa) reigns superlative in size, with some specimens growing to 35 m (115 feet) tall along the slopes and gullies of eastern Australian rainforests. However, these members of the family Urticaceae are far more than oversized nettles.

Of the six species in the genus Dendrocnide native to the subtropical and tropical forests of Eastern Australia, the giant stinging tree and the mulberry-like stinging tree (Dendrocnide moroides) are particularly notorious for producing painful stings, which can cause symptoms that last for days or weeks in extreme cases.

“Like other stinging plants such as nettles, the giant stinging tree is covered in needle-like appendages called trichomes that are around five millimeters in length — the trichomes look like fine hairs, but actually act like hypodermic needles that inject toxins when they make contact with skin,” said Dr. Irina Vetter, a researcher in the Institute for Molecular Bioscience and the School of Pharmacy at the University of Queensland.

Small molecules in the trichomes such as histamine, acetylcholine and formic acid have been previously tested, but injecting these did not cause the severe and long-lasting pain of the stinging tree, suggesting that there was an unidentified neurotoxin to be found.

“We were interested in finding out if there were any neurotoxins that could explain these symptoms, and why the Gympie-Gympie can cause such long-lasting pain,” Dr. Vetter said.
