Alaskan wildfires have a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong history!!!!


Wildfire in Alaska


zero to do with climate change./


One will notice......the AGW community never, ever puts these fires in any historical context.


duh

States clearly in the article that this is at present, the second worst fire year in Alaska's history. And the year is not yet over.

2014 was the worst year for fire in Washington states history. Until 2015. At present, there are 38 large fires burning in Washington and Oregon. There are 65 large uncontained fires burning in our nation right now. We are at fire level 5, all our resources committed. Anything we need for a new fire we have to take from an existing one. Hundreds of families have been burned out, losing everything. Even with the modern firefighting methods and equipement, the extreme dry weather and lack of precipitation in the West and Alaska have resulted in a horror of a fire season.

Ray....folks have figured out that this whole MO of jumping on the most recent anomaly is part of the strategy. When its part of a natural cycle, the most recent event always looks boogie-man. The AGW crowd pulled the same stunt after Katrina and it blew up in their faces HUGE!! And the bottom line is.........in the bigger scheme of things, there are far, far , far bigger problems for people to be worried about. Our country is falling deeper and deeper into the shitter if you haven't noticed. Race wars........historic levels of poverty.........immigration catastrophy...........corruption from government leaders in high places.......world instability, particularly in the middle east........

The country is a laughing stock in 2015........and two successive elections of liberal leadership getting a gigantic middle finger.

People have been seeing wild fires come and go their whole lives........compared to all the other disasters going on, its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of concerns.

Poor dumb Stephanie. Ever hear of subduction?

Why yes, and lookey here, that subduction zone is many miles off shore. Kind of blows a big ass hole in your "theory" there olfraud.

Don't worry...........these fucks will link climate change to the earthquakes soon enough!!!

A stunning five million acres have now burned in Alaskan wildfires this year

Last month, wildfire watchers were astounded as terrifying wildfires raged across the state of Alaska. Sometimes the records would come in with 300,000 or more new acres burned in a single day. It seemed inevitable that the 2015 wildfire season would quickly catch up with and then surpass the all-time record year, 2004, when 6,590,140 acres burned.

But then the weather shifted. Rains moved in, and satellite analysts downsized their size estimates of some fires. Instead of racing forward, the fire acreage numbers slowed or even stopped their increase. Only recently have they started to tick back up again.

Nonetheless, according to the latest report Tuesday from the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center, Alaska fires have now consumed 5,098,829.9 acres in 2015. That’s about five-sixths of the total acreage consumed by wildfires anywhere in America this year —currently, 6,224,545 acres. It’s also enough to put the 2015 Alaska wildfire season ahead of what was previously the second-place year — 1957, with 5,049,661 acres burned, according to the Alaska Division of Forestry.

Those were the numbers on 10Aug15. Hundreds of thousands of acres burned since then. Oh yes, I am sure posts like these really impress those who have seen these fires up close and personal. In the meantime, Alaska is paying for the effects of the permafrost melting. Much of their infrastructure is built on permafrost, and is being damaged by that melt. But keep on making ha-ha about the effects of the climate change in Alaska. Perhaps Alaska and Texas will turn blue at the same time.

again socks are you stating that spontaneous combustion took place here? Still unclear how you figure the drought is a trigger unless you believe it got hot and twigs just caught on fire spontaneously. Yes or no?

so again, are you saying this isn't a natural thing that occurs in the forests? Really? You are stepping off with that one are you? Still haven't presented any facts that can confirm CO2 was the trigger. Bring it up in here let's go chief, let's see your proof. Oh yeah, you have no idea what proof is.

How does CO2 start wildfires?

LMAO......check this shit out......as written by Reuters..............

Last year alone, the Exit Glacier melted and retreated 187 ft (57 m) toward the Harding ice field, which itself has lost 10 percent of its mass since 1950, mainly due to climate change.
"It's spectacular," Obama said, glancing over his shoulder and pausing, as the cameras clicked. "We want to make sure that our own grandkids can see this."
The main purpose of the Alaska journey is to create powerful images the White House will use to engage Americans.

Obama: Shrinking Exit Glacier a powerful sign of warming climate


See the red highlight? Designed to play to the suckers out there.......as if we flip a switch tomorrow and make everything hunkey-dorey.

Progressvies are the masters of fuckery

 

[Old Rocks]

Why yes, Steve, that is how politics are done. And here in the Pacific Northwest, given our fire season, we will use those images to put out of office anyone that is on the denial political bandwagon.

Poor dumb Stephanie. Ever hear of subduction?

Poor dumb fucktard old fraud.... The subsection zone is OFF SHORE you moron!

What can one say? Poor Billy Bob flunked the third grade and never went back.

Cascadia subduction zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The structure of the Cascadia subduction zone.
The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) is a 1,000 km (620 mi) long dipping fault

New study shows Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake risk to be much higher than previously thought

The Goldfinger-led study took four years to complete and is based on 13 years of research. At 184 pages, it is the most comprehensive overview ever written of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a region off the Northwest coast where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is being subducted beneath the continent. Once thought to be a continuous fault line, Cascadia is now known to be at least partially segmented. This segmentation is reflected in the region's earthquake history, Goldfinger noted.

The Juan de Fuca Plate is pushing deep under the North American Plate. The colliding edges of these plates are locked, one plate pressed into the other. As the plates press and move, stress builds up -- until the lock breaks. The plates slip suddenly, causing a subduction zone earthquake. (Credit: ECY/Washington Coast)

If the kooks are melting down this badly just over Obama, their meltdowns when the Pope arrives will no doubt be epic in scale.

This does leave deniers with a problem. How can they melt down about the Pope without looking rabidly anti-Catholic?

I thought you claimed to be a geology student? What happens to the ground between the subduction zone and the volcanic mountains that rise behind it? Here's a hint, that word rise is important!

Why would scientific people meltdown over a religious nutter coming here proclaiming the end of the world? Truly admiral, it is you who have had the meltdown. You have abandoned any pretense of science and fully accepted the religious nutter's view of the world. You remind me of these dudes below.... I think they are a perfect analogy for you and your "beliefs".

that dude wouldn't know his own face if he saw it in a mirror. he is obviously oblivious to nature. He is stuck hard in the Obama crack and can't get out. doesn't understand the thaw time of perma frost.

Nah........that strategy clearly has not been effective. In the recent mid-terms, virtually ALL of the candidates running on big environmental platforms got their clocks cleaned!!!

Environment, Energy Lose in Midterm Elections

Just not resonating with the American public.

The American voter has seen all kinds of alarmist k00k imagery over the past 20 years......polar bears floating on ice for instance. They are unmoved.

Why? Because when a voter whose wages have been stagnant for 10 years and whose taxes are going through the roof and is seeing nonsense like we saw in Baltimore and Ferguson...........and then hears a politician talking about fires in Alaska...........the voters eyebrow comes up and thinks

Subduction zones and earthquakes

Hyndman & Wang, 1995

Cartoon showing cross section through subduction zone before an earthquake (above) and during an earthquake (below). Before the earthquake, stresses builds up on the part of the megathrust that is ‘locked’. This also causes the overriding plate to warp in response, such that the surface of the earth goes down near the trench, and the surface of the earth goes up farther inland. When an earthquake occurs, the locked zone ruptures, causing uplift near the trench and subsidence farther inshore.

Why yes, it is. And when the rise is greater then the rise of the sea level, then a tidal gauge shows the sea level as falling. When the rise is less, then the tidal gauge shows that the sea level is rising. Pretty damned obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than room temperature.

and again no answer to the direct question. What happened in the recent midterms? Why'd the democrats lose running on environmental issues? 2016 isn't an answer.
