@NowThisEarth
I was born just in time to watch the world burn and society crumble to dust maybe it’s for the best
Sorry, mother earth, we miss you.
I'd rather be you knowing the world is actually falling apart instead of growing up hiding under our desks during nuclear bombing drills....
Being told every day could be our last as we know it.
Your everyday sucks but at least it's what you are used to.
I remember when things were better and I miss it....
@@christopherleveck6835 good things never last
@CHIEF TAHCHAWWICKAH Indians would not think that way, because they respect mother nature and all her creation.
@@christopherleveck6835 True too.
I'm sorry, Mother Earth. 💔
forest fires are common. They happened thousands of years ago
Me too...
Are you trying to do something about it rather than just being "sorry"?
@@SuperMarway Wow, I didn't know I had to write a list of my achievements in order to express empathy. In fact that sounds more like boasting than empathy at all. But yes, I've been vegan for 6 years, I avoid single use plastic and plastic bags, I'm in the process of getting solar installed, I only drive 2 days a week, I'm growing fruit trees, berry bushes, and vegetables in my backyard, I worm compost my food waste, I reduce water and electricity in my house, and reduce over all unnecessary purchases. How about you?
@@katiehemstreet8939 I throw old car batteries into the ocean. That's my contribution
I live in British Columbia Canada just above the Washington and Idaho borders. We currently have 299 active wildfires with just 104 deemed "Under Control". Our firefighting teams (3,500) have already been maxed, the military has been and is deploying, and we just declared a State of Emergency. We have additional firefighters on route from eastern Canada, from Mexico, and are negotiating with Europe. So far 301,000 hectares or 744,000 acres have burnt which is equivalent to approximately 1/2 of the State of Delaware. 87 or our wildfires are deemed "Out Of Control"
So, for those of you who don't know the area currently burning(Klamath Basin) used to be former Oak Savannahs aka Oregon White Oaks! Oaks are drought tolerant, fire resistant, can take extreme heat and are keynote a species to this region! The conifers which are on fire, are fast growers which means they can not build up the resistance needed to survive fires, and their wood is brittle making them very dangerous and possible widow makers! Conifers are also drought intolerant, so the prolong drought we here in PNW are experiencing are causing severe dieback and are killing all our Cedar Trees which is a sacred tree to PNW Natives! Lastly, conifers can not take the extreme heat currently plaguing the Pacific Northwest! Conifers, were meant to be in higher elevations where it is colder and where they would get annual snowpacks which would provide them with a long term watersource! By cutting down the oaks and replacing them with conifers which apparently Oregon values more than their Oaks has made it to where Oregon now has the largest Wildfire in the Nation! Also, Oregon has more forested land today than they did 100 and even 500 years ago! So, the next time you decide to plant a tree for Arbor or Earth Day, think about what you're planting, because we here in Oregon are now paying the price!
Agreed. Indigenous species survive for a reason. 🤠
Monoculture is ruinous. Good post
op.
@@paulsmallriver6066 thanks, I am very passionate about Oregon White Oak
Yes the timber industry did a number on Oregon. Greed over mixed forest.
@@leroybrown9873 Yes. THey interrupted and modified the natural cycle. It would take decades to restore this.
I think that’s the smoke that I’ve literally smelt all the way over here in New York today. It was so bad this morning that my water tasted like wildfire smoke. Had to close the windows though it’s pretty hot today.
How far is it from New York to Oregon?
Same here in Ohio. Smoke is definitely causing flair up of my allergies. The sky is hazy.
@@N2O_The1000thElement approximately 2500 miles.
Saw a picture of NY City today, look like London in thick fog.
Trump said that we were supposed to rake the forests like Finland does and I guess that fell on deaf ears. He shunned science, and then wants to offer "sciency" little tidbits of advice. The next smart guy better show up soon with some answers. Not a pretty sight! My hopes go out to all those people.
GOD IS BRINGING A NEW KINGDOM, HE IS DESTROYING THIS WICKED KINGDOM.
AMEN
All they have to do is turn off the Direct Energy Weapon switch off. C’mon man!
@@iii___iii LOOK IT UP…..especially used in California where l live.
@@iii___iii First of all l state what l say because of the First Amendment right to free expression. If you don't like it, then move on. Why place the burden on me if YOU desire to know for yourself? Didn't l say to "look it up"? I wouldn't ask that of people if there was NO evidence, because there is. If you're to lazy to try, then start by looking CAREFULLY at "Analysing Santa Rosa fires. Direct energy? DEW" (by damx x). Explain how a fire can do so much strange and devastating damage?
@@iii___iii uh huh what? Say it? What do you have to say? Remain blind and ignorant. Fine with me...

all praise to my creator of heaven and earth
If everyone believed the way you did, there would be 7 billion gods floating around on clouds...
A video of rain in Las Vegas was posted 40 minutes ago. It seems like rain will be there in Oregon soon.
You Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either you practice logging or you let the fires burn the forest. Pick ONE.
Neither, I like Pie.
Planet. Broken.
and your responsible for it.
Where are all the environmentalists along with the tree huggers that pretty much stopped so many logging and forest management operations? I don't see any of them out there hugging these trees now.
So does Not Sending Out Hundreds of Air Tankers the Second the Fire is reported! The cost of ONE WILD FIRE would Cover the cost of Hundreds of Air Tankers!
God bless and protect the displaced and the refugee. I fear I will join you soon in misery and fear.
All those beautiful plants and animals....... :' (
How is it that Dubai can use drones and create rain within the clouds and we have this going on along with droughts? Can anyone explain this to me?
It’s been burning for years
My heart hurts.
Ok... hope you are getting better soon
all the rains are dumped in wester europe and northern central china.
This fire is pure tragedy. For the best in-depth information on The Bootleg Fire and the dozens of fires blazing in the west, is Kathryn Davidson on YT . Bless all those who are suffering ♥️🕊
New excuse to raise lumber prices thru the roof.
Almost right, if it burns, Sierra Pacific lumber company gets the land for free, vis the forrest service kick backs.....ITs real ugly, check out the employee that was setting 5 fires for sierra pacific...each family member has a salary of 328 million a YEAR. Build with concrete, metal stud technology and fire proof sheet rock...aaaahhaaaaahh aahhaa
I made a fire crisis emergency survival guide {inside comments, so URL isn't blocked} … Good luck!
You can’t just sit back doing nothing. Where is your spirit? Where is Biden?
According to AZ Mirror, "The Biden administration announced a series of actions on Wednesday to expand the federal government’s wildfire response and prevention capabilities, including additional aviation resources and the deployment of satellite-based early-detection technology, as well as FEMA grants for wildfire risk-mitigation projects and other prevention efforts. Biden also announced plans to award bonuses and incentives to wildland firefighters in an effort to increase pay and improve recruitment and retention as federal firefighting crews aim to staff up for longer, more intense fire seasons."
Let’s be mindful the title of this video says the largest fire of 2021. Crazy part is at the rate we’re going with the health of our planet this is just an introduction.
Great. Well it had been 24 minutes since I had worried about what's coming next....
Couple of weeks ago, my city, Salem was THE HOTTEST CITY in the United States.
What would we be if we weren't breaking world records?
Last year for a week we had to worst air quality on the planet. For a whole week.....
Ice storm knocked out our power for more than a week last winter during the freakiest ice storm I've ever heard of...
HALF the trees around my house came down. Some of them are still there...
I live 5 minutes from the Capitol building.....
It is all too sad. So scary, I wish we could feel again what it felt like in the 80's when we could relax, and feel happy again.
Can you give me an update regarding fires around Corbett, Salem, and Corvalis? I have relatives in those areas and they have not given me any updates..TY
@@ericferguson68 I don't know about Corbett but Salem and Corvallis are fine for now...last summer the mill city fire was marching straight for us, but stopped before it got anywhere close to Salem.
The smoke was horrible. It looked like Mars outside for almost 2 weeks. It was eerie. We had no wind. So all the smoke just hung over us.......
@Eric Babcock I grew up here, raised my kids here. I'm almost 50. We had about a month of snow in the winters. Usually one big snowstorm just before Christmas. ALWAYS had snow for Christmas.
This year we had one day of snow. WEEKS after Christmas. Then we had the ice storm. That was winter.
When I was a kid I remember every time the temp got above 100 because it almost NEVER happened.
Now, well, it's over 100 for about a week a year, except for this year of course. And we have a couple big heat waves in the 90-100 range with a lot of high 80's weather all summer long. And the summers are looooooong. We don't really have a fall anymore.
Our anniversary is in October. That used to be a great time to be outside before it got too cold. Used to be sweatshirts and jeans weather.
Now it is usually too hot till our anniversary and then really cold after.
The seasons used to be so gradual but now it's hot then cold then wet then hot then cold then wet....
If we are lucky. I dont remember the last time we had rain.
I'm thinking about moving to the northern territory.
If I want to be old in a place that is comfortable for me the way Oregon used to be, that's where I think I'm going to have to go in 10-15 years.
Beat the rush. Get in while land is still cheap and can be bought with monopoly money. Or whatever the Canadians are using now.
I will give you a plane ticket for free to go live in the slums of Salem, India. Quit your bitchen
Not normal
Can it burn towards Portland’s Woke Zone!
Keep developing breeding and driving and traveling. Entire west will bake. Just not gettin it yet are ya? Stop all development. limit births. Ration fuel. Live in cities and suburbs. Made your beds!
today in the world there are a lot of different climatic disasters. Already everyone can see they only increase and grow in their power. The only goal at the moment is to unite and build a Creative Society. An international conference called The Global Crisis. This already affects everyone was recently held where the topic of cataclysms and our consumer lifestyle is widely covered. Together, people can do a lot! In the Creative Society, human life is always in the first place. Join the project. Become part of a whole. Every person is important!
Where do we donate?
Let me call india, and get a telemarketer from Nigeria, to give you a call...stand by....sucker...
@@MysticFogGarden for sure key board warrior🙄
PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER CREATOR FOR RAIN ON WEST COAST!
What happened to the wetlands that gave the area rains
Too late, much too late.
Said the joker to the thief.
Well, that’s sobering. It wasn’t literal fire we were talking about - but I guess our party is over after this
Didn’t the same thing happen last year? It’s becoming routine at this stage
The irony is amazing
