Russia is on fire

[eviltigerlily]

The Heat has been going on for almost two months now. Upwards of 35C is not normal for Moscow in any season. Ever. Forest fires are blazing all around the country. It is impossible to contain all of them before they reach populated areas. In places the wind encourages the spread of the fires. In Moscow, the smoke from the fires in the surrounding areas lingers. Pollutants are up to 6 times (!) the acceptable levels. It is also 39C. The heat will probably not abate for another month (although winds might clear some of the smog). When it does it should be possible to put the fires out. And presumably to build some kind of shelter for the people who have lost their homes before the cold sets in (soon after).

There is no climate change. It's all fine.
