  1. in such condition the real heat is higher than just air temperature. For example if tomorrow air temperature reachs to 41c and humidity reachs to 23% then actual heat we feel is 42c. Read “heat index” wikipedia article for more.

  2. California = Finally. A worthy opponent!

    In all seriousness, wishing the best to the European nations. Fires are no joke. Hoping we can get there soon to assist.

  3. In reality the north and south poles are shifting, but nobody wants to talk about that, too scary.

    1. @Flynn Stone yep and they recently found a substantially bigger ozone hole. They started truly noticing some signs 10 years ago we actively talked about it in a geography course I took at college.

    2. There are infinite occurrences humans can’t change. Carbon footprint and fossil fuel consumption is one that they can change.

    1. @Trashboªt I have a bachelors of science don’t worry kiddo I get all the basic geography terms lol..doesn’t change everything else I listed. And I had already illustrated how natural disasters are getting worse. It’s ok if you can’t keep up.

  4. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  5. ‘Drill, baby, drill.’ ‘Oh, gasoline is $5 / gal.’ The Air Force burns aviation fuel at approx 2 billion gal/year.
    When will they realize it has to change? Soon, I pray.

    1. no one, hence the term wildfire. i mean sure maybe a couple were human caused but majority is environmental factors

    1. Hello how are you doing today hope everything is going well,if I may asked what do you think about all this that’s happening..?

  6. Please, don’t blame Russians for that😅 We’ll give you a discount for your air conditioners’ energy🤓

    1. Can I have an air conditioner lmao😂 narr but most of u Russians are nice, genuine people it’s just putin we don’t like lmao

  7. Meanwhile UK Government wont legalise electric scooters. Oh no, carry on driving your V8 engines
