> The pacific northwest doesn't look like Texas though. Our birds, mammals, forests, I don't think any of it could withstand that heat regularly. Exactly. I'm already seeing deciduous trees dropping leaves here in Western Oregon a good 3 months early due to that heatwave. A lot of conifers not looking great either. Those temps put tremendous stress on our ecosystem. They don't have large amounts of fuel in the form of trees in places like TX, if a large portion of our trees start dying it's going to make fire season even more horrific than it has been in recent years.
