Cyberpunk 2020 (California/Oregon fires)

anything else is allowed btw

>>6555 it really do be like that sometimes

> pic related

California is going to Hell

>>6564 Is this a wildfire making this hellish glow? Looks nice. I think this is the first stage of desertification.

>>6565 wildfire caused by fireworks from a gender reveal party >>6555 >anything else is allowed btw then make the thread accordingly perhaps? All boards here are slow but high quality and yet you keep spamming new threads every day! I'm starting to think you're intentionally killing off old quality threads.

>>6564 >>6565 something like this happens every time there is a big wildfire... why are people acting like it's a new phenomenon... CA has been desertifying since settlers moved in and started fuarrrking up the land.

>>6566 >wildfire caused by fireworks from a gender reveal party Again, or is this the same wildfire that continues since the last year? >>6567 >something like this happens every time there is a big wildfire... why are people acting like it's a new phenomenon... I wasn't interested in California before and have never seen red sky like this. >CA has been desertifying since settlers moved in and started fuarrrking up the land. Well if the forests were moist, they wouldn't burn that easily. The climate change is accelerating. If these fires will keep happening, soil will degenerate, literally turning the land into desert. Environmental succession is sooo cool. I'm also a big fan of Arizona desertification and Las Vegas dying.

>>6567 Just need the ARkStorm to come along and solve that, perhaps a bit more dramatically than the californians would hope though.

>>6566 What are you talking about? I don't spam threads every single day. and when I said anything else is allowed I meant in the context of cyberpunk images and such, and I am not killing off any thread. Either archive them or just ignore this one.

Just want to clarify, please don't post politics in here. only pictures, thus why I said "anything else is allowed" but what I should have said is "anything related to the california/oregon pictures is allowed"

>>6566 >wildfire caused by fireworks from a gender reveal party The gender reveal wildfire is only about 2% of the currently burning wildfires, most of them are related to the lightning storm hitting California at present.

>>6579 >most of them are related to the lightning storm hitting California at present. Patently false, it is arson. Police have arrested dozens of arsonists and attempted arsonists. Posting evidence of who is doing the arson would breach... >>6578 >please don't post politics in here So don't mention anything else about the cause. Post pretty pictures instead like OP requested.

>>6568 >I wasn't interested in California before and have never seen red sky like this. I have, several times. I've lived in CA my whole life. It happened almost every summer during the last big drought. >Well if the forests were moist, they wouldn't burn that easily. the forests always get dry during the summer. Most of CA has a dry-summer wet-winter climate. Many of the native plants here actually require regular burns as part of their life cycle. The reason they're burning so easily and so hot is because the forests are very poorly managed. Most of the redwood forest was clearcut in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it got reseeded too closely, leading to forests with many tall spindly trees that burn easily, and a ton of underbrush. Before the area was settled by whites, wildfires would burn through the whole landscape every decade or two. Indians would also sometimes do small controlled burns to encourage food sources to grow. Now whites try to put out all the fires to save their homes, which causes huge amounts of fuel to accumulate. Additionally the most recent drought caused many of the trees to die of bark beetle infestations. Global warming was merely one factor of many in this case. >The climate change is accelerating. If these fires will keep happening, soil will degenerate, literally turning the land into desert. Typically in the immediate aftermath of a fire, as in the day after the fire is out, you can see little shoots coming out of the ground. A few years later and the landscape is vibrant and green again. Usually, the only places that burn are places that haven't burned recently. A far worse problem is land and water misuse. Many of the aquifers in the central valley have already run out, and white farming practices fuarrrk with the soil in ways more insidious and widespread than wildfires. That plus the draining of the Colorado river, urban sprawl, and other bullshit are what have really fuarrrked with the landscape here. >Environmental succession is sooo cool. I'm also a big fan of Arizona desertification and Las Vegas dying. big same, I really like the desert. I think the chaparral will be around for a long time though... this spring I went hiking in Los Padres and it was super vibrant, more alive than I've seen it in years. >>6569 I'm down to be honest. fuarrrk this society. Let the Big One come at the same time too. And a volcanic eruption. Anything but the slow, steady degradation of everything I hold dear.

>>6581 *also a big solar flare.

>>6580 >>6579 >>most of them are related to the lightning storm hitting California at present. >Patently false, it is arson. Police have arrested dozens of arsonists and attempted arsonists. I keep thinking back to a classic War Nerd article, "Burn, Malibu, Burn!" http://exiledonline.com/burn-malibu-burn-%E2%80%94-fire-the-most-effective-underused-weapon-in-the-world/

>>6581 Also lived in Cali my whole life. Never seen it this bad before. Not even in photos.

This is the punishment to white people for leaving Europe.

>>6638 >This is happening because white people did not cull enough non-whites Would you mind leaving your fascist politics out of this thread? It is for CYBERPUNK VISUALS of the fire or related to it. Not political opinions about it. It's not difficult to understand.

I thought cameras weren't able to capture the red sky?

California has fulfilled its purpose by becoming enough of a cultural phenomenon to host Sarah Lynn's story. Now that Sarah Lynn's story is over, California has become a redundant thing, and is being burnt off the stage by fire a bird ghosts.

>>6625 It was much worse in Ventura during the Thomas fire, just to name an example.

Reminds me of when I used to live in a bigger city and the light pollution plus infinite cloud cover made the night sky perpetually dark red. This is a new level though. Practically candy red.

>>6676 That sounds like an interesting sight. Would you mind saying where it was? Or providing pics? Sage because I'm off-topic.

Red blood

>>6581 You missed one other reason: widespread planting of eucalyptus trees by settler retards. Eucalyptus trees are so full of oil that they burn explosively and embers fly up off the canopy rather than fall to the ground, making them especially good at spreading fire to other trees around them.

>>6643 Where did you find this picture of me

>>6563 Underrated post. Definitely a good shot.

>>6692 oh yeah I forgot that one. God I hate those trees so fuarrrking much. It's even worse here than in Australistan because over there there are fungi/animals which eat the Eucalyptus and keep their bark from piling up but here there aren't.

>>6692 >>6750 Eucalyptus copypasta included. Cyber visual included relevant to thread.

>>6763 Australia is amazing

>>6555 Cyberpunk? More like MAD MAX

Will this lower the real estate prices?

Got any sun pictures yet? We had wildfires before and the smoke turned the sun red for half a week, almost like the Japanese flag.

>>8101 No, because current real estate prices in California (and basically everywhere else in the western world) are the result of inflation - specifically, asset inflation. This won't stop until interest rates spike and borrowing becomes much more expensive. And interest rates can't spike without causing instant catastrophic recession - and possibly a full-scale depression. The entire worldwide financial sector is going to be playing the biggest game of "kick the can down the road" you'll ever witness. The only places where prices will drop, and even then only slightly, will be places that are uninsurable due to climate change. Flood plains where once-a-century floods happen every year, where wildfire evacuations are a monthly occurrence instead of a once-a-lifetime event, where lawns are derezzed by municipal ordinance because of permanent drought conditions, etc.

>>8108 >where wildfire evacuations are a monthly occurrence instead of a once-a-lifetime event not really possible. When an area burns it becomes un-burnable at least until it rains again. A place which burns enough will become barren rock and nothing will grow on it (so no fuel) for years. -t live in an area that used to get wildfires every 5-10 years long before climate change was a thing

>>8112 I didn't say wildfire. I said wildfire evacuations - a precautionary measure.

>>8114 you don't evacuate unless the fire is like a mile from your house and closing, which is really unlikely if the last one burned all the nearby vegetation. -t been under mandatory evac order three times

>>8115 >-t I have to ask, what exactly does that stand for? It's obviously something along the lines of reference/citation/demonstration... but what?

>>8115 Not every jurisdiction has the same criteria for calling for evacuation. Where I live, if we even smell smoke, chances are good that we'll get notice for mandatory evacuation in short order.
