  1. I would be more suspicious of Facebook and Twitter.

  2. Severe weather events are happening more often everywhere. The damage is costly both in terms of lives lost and property damage. Homes and businesses destroyed by floods and fires have to be rebuilt. Some insurance companies in the United States are not renewing homeowner policies in riskier areas. Since we're going to pay a price, wouldn't it make more sense to spend that money on mitigating climate change instead? Even if you don't directly suffer from the storms, you will notice the increase in food prices.

  3.  @rboddington  That has absolutely nothing to do with anyone fleeing the fires.

  4. Please elaborate on that theory with hurricanes and tornadoes.

  5. That is 100% not true.

  6.  @rboddington  Hotel Association (BCHA), said the organization has been working with the province to provide emergency shelter for evacuees and emergency responders. The province, she said, pays hotels a government rate for their rooms.

  7.  @rboddington  Actually, the real answer is all of them. "Close to 3,000 forest fire evacuees are settling into temporary accommodations across the province, including hundreds of people at a Mississauga hotel near Pearson International Airport."

  8. First-term Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claim that the 2018 California wildfires were ignited by a space laser controlled by a corporate cabal, including the Rothschild banking firm, is objectively ridiculous. It’s okay to laugh about it. What difference does it make if fires are started by Jewish space lasers, an arsonist, or a careless camper? Either way, the extreme hot weather is going to result in more severe fires.

  9. "False claims about the deadly wildfires in Hawaii - including that shadowy forces orchestrated the disaster with a laser beam - have gained traction online. The misleading posts come from a variety of sources and accounts, but generally imply that "elites" or government agencies deliberately started the fires. While there are specific rumours circulating about Maui, they fit into a general pattern repeatedly seen after extreme weather events and natural disasters - politically motivated activists seeking to downplay the potential impact of climate change. An image of a church on fire in Hawaii has been viewed 9 million times, with claims it shows a laser beam striking it. But it has been digitally altered. The original image - of the Waiola Church in Lahaina in flames on 8 August - has no laser beam or ray of light visible. One shows a fireball and a bright streak of light rising up towards the night sky. It, too, has been accompanied by claims that wildfires are not a natural phenomenon. But a search on the internet for previous versions of this image reveals the photo shows a controlled burn at an Ohio oil refinery and was first posted online in January 2018. The streak of light, known as a "light pillar", is an optical illusion formed by reflections off ice crystals on a cold day. A similar image claims to show a huge beam of light in Maui just before the wildfires. But it shows the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in California in May 2018. The cause or causes of the fires on Maui are still unknown, but no real evidence has emerged to suggest they were deliberately started as part of a land grab." Reuters

  11. ​ @mason5540 "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,” Trump said. “I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.” “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”

  27. “Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that’s not what Rome is about! We should totally just STAB CAESAR!” (Gretchen Weiner, Mean Girls) Putin is a ruthless dictator 20 years in the making. He is attempting to correct what he views as the historical injustice of the breakup of the Soviet Union. Sometimes, a bully can only be stopped with a punch in the nose. Putin invaded a sovereign state and needs to stand down.

Warm weather can dry out the landscape very quickly. The drier grasses, brush, and trees get, the more likely they are to both catch fire and to stay burning.
