Those forests will thin out, a new normal will be found.
- saboot 5y agoA new normal will always be found. Whether it's compatible with humanity though ...
- buu700 5y agoI kind of like the current normal that includes humans.
- graeme 5y agoA normal requires fairly stable conditions. Constantly changing conditions means constant flux.
- criddell 5y agoInstability could be the new normal.
- barbazoo 5y agoA lot of wood has to burn for forests to "thin out". That's decades of unbreathable air during the summer months.
- ByersReason 5y agoNot everywhere. On the western slopes of places like the santa cruz mountains, we mostly get a thermal sea breeze that keeps things cool during summer (our so called "natural air conditioner"). This also does a very good job of keeping the air clean, as we ocean air from the NW. You just have to be sufficiently hot inland to generate such a breeze, and things are generally stable. We do of course get some smokey days when the prevailing wind is offshore, and had more smoke during the CZU fires, which were right here - but otherwise pretty good.
