Mother Earth has yet again rendered human efforts to stop climate change impotent. Not only did the October 2017 Northern California wildfires pump massive particulate matter into the atmosphere, but at least 1-million tons of waste was created on the ground!
Fire clean-up in Santa Rosa, California, 02FEB2018
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the California Office of Emergency Services report that so far more than 1-million tons of debris has been removed from Sonoma County.
Sonoma County is known for its wine. 1-million tons is equal to four million barrels of wine, or 200-thousand acres (about 81-thousand hectares) of vines.
But 1-million tons is just the beginning, the October 2017 wildfires affected Napa, Lake and Mendocino counties. And don’t forget all the other California fires in 2017.
You silly humans, spending your precious tax dollars trying to stop climate change! Evolution says ‘adapt or go extinct’!
