This unprecedented
wildfires in cities across west coast had turned the sky orange the picture
trending on social media clearly speaks that how this looks like a doomsday. This
wildfire has forced more than thousands of families to evacuate their home
which is devastated.
The reason of
orange color sky is because air pollution level has increased. When there are
accidents or events like biomass burning or wildfires that produces such a high
density of air particles in the atmosphere that diffuses light, then the result
is orange color sky or into darker color sky. This also implies the worsening
air quality of that region
Around 6 million of
land in more than 10 states of USA burned in 2020 and approx. 35 people were
killed in the fast moving fires.in WA, more acres burned in 1 day than the last
12 fires season combined and had led to catastrophe. While in California a
highest record of 2.5 million acres burned.
The fires have made
the air in the region so much dangerous to breathe. The CA government has
equated the inhaling with smoking 20
packs cigarettes. California, Oregon and Washington they all are in same soup of
cataclysmic fire and the reason is dry grass and dumbest mistake.
What Caused It?
As if 2020 wasn’t
strange enough already. This year’s wildfire season has been one of the worst
in history with not just its impact but because it’s contributing factor to
climate change at an unprecedent rate. With around dozens of fire burning has record
2 million acres of area that was impacted. And now we are finding out that one
of the biggest blazes started in one of the dumbest ways.
80 miles east of LA
a gender revel party starts a massive blaze that is still burning. This is done
through a pyrotechnic device that explodes and blow out blue or pink gas
to announce sex of an unborn baby was ignited, but within few minutes got out of
hand with temperature over 100 degrees and plenty of fuel to feed the fire in
the brush in surrounding area.
Jenna karundis is
created with starting the gender-revel trend over 10 years ago with pink icing
in a cake to revel her baby’s gender. After the incident she commented that
enough is enough.
Climate Fires
It’s a disastrous
new normal. We talk about this as wildfire instead we need to think more about
it as climate fires. The climate crisis is fueling historic and one of the most
dangerous west coast infernos. People are unfortunately seeing this explosive
fire seasons as a routine rather than an exception, due to the recurring
nature.
In last five years
the people there have witnessed 3 worst fire seasons ever in the history of
state of Washington.
The mechanism is
the grass become drier which leads to the heat go up even the wind goes up and
this all phenomena take place due to changes in climate and the increasing
temperature of earth due to global warming.
The things that is
pointed out by environmentalist is that firstly we should start taking this
wildfire as climate fires as they act as constant alarm for humankind about
climate change. Also, because climate is the reason that creates a situation
that make them so explosive in nature.
Donald Trump
on This Issue
“It will get
cooler” that’s what USA’s president have to say about this catastrophic
accident. He has been coming under a lot of criticism for not doing more with
the crisis.
The experts have
stated that this wildfire has to do a lot with the climate change but on the
other hand trump blames the state of California and forest management for fire
mismanagement. He added that the management over the years have not worked
properly by removing dead and dry trees etc. Hence, it is a fault on their part.
This is how trump has diverted the attention.
This statement of
trump and his action regarding the same will definitely impact the presidential
election this year and will impact the candidature of Trump. Also, this issue is
clearly used by trump’s opponent to pint at tremendous urgency of the climate
change issue.
Joe Biden clearly called Trump climate arsonist because how this year fire season has progressed and the president’s refusal to rally address this issue Joe Biden also added that these climate issues will became more worst if Trump wins second term.
We should fight the
cause of these fire before all of us are burnt and what is left is mere ashes
of regrets.
