There wasn't enough rakes..."A nearly two-decade effort by Californians to cut their emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide may have been erased by a single, devastating year of wildfires, according to UCLA and University of Chicago researchers. The state’s record-breaking 2020 fire season, which saw more than 4 million acres burn, spewed almost twice the tonnage of greenhouse gases as the total amount of carbon dioxide reductions made since 2003, according to a study published recently in the journal Environmental Pollution.
Researchers estimated that about 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent were released by the fires, compared with about 65 million metric tons of reductions achieved in the previous 18 years."
Up in smoke: California's greenhouse gas reductions could be wiped out by 2020 wildfires
In this short communication, we estimate that California's wildfire carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from 2020 are approximately two times h…www.sciencedirect.com
Wow. I am so glad I don’t live there anymore. The water is terrible , the air is Terrible.. it’s the entire west coast, not just California anymore. I certainly did see more Teslas there than anywhere else in this country.

She has been breaking track records all year, can't keep it together for the finals usually, unfortunately.
I have to make those cookies!Someone I have known for a few years has decided to go on a diet, again.
This time they were explaining how this weekend is going to be a last hoorah.
Their plan is to eat whatever sweets available until Monday.
Magical Monday, to start the newest pledge to diet and lose weight, again.
It was difficult to completely understand what was being said, so I had to ask, "Please stop choking on the Oreos you are eating now while you tell me of the diet you plan to start next week!"
I wonder what would happen if they were introduced to Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies on Sunday.
