Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Hey, you know when I said that we were on fire? Yeah, that might have been an understatement.
This is a current map of the fires now raging all over Alaska.
You know it is actually almost harder to find a place that is NOT on fire.
Yeah. And not only is there no climate change, this situation causing beaucoup methane to belch into the atmosphere isn't going to accelerate it either.
It's not necessarily that these things are caused by global warming as much as they are made worse by global warming. For example, in my neck of the woods:
As a retiree I get to look at the weather page of the newspaper each morning and I check places that we know of fairly well. For Alaska, while we know no one personally, I always check the two entries: Anchorage and Fairbanks. During our very cold winter it was usually colder in here in northern Michigan than in Alaska and now, during our prolonged early spring-like weather, we've still be colder than Alaska, although today was forecast to be a tad cooler than here in Anchorage but still much warmer in Fairbanks. Crazy world we live in! Good luck to all who have to contend with the fires. Beaglemom
Please be aware that last winter was very mild and this spring and early summer have set heat records in Alaska. I've spent 20 years in both Alaska and the upper Midwest, and the climates aren't even in the same ballpark. People from Michigan who move to Alaska, especially to the Interior, generally go into shock.
It's very scary. We had a wildfire pass the house, held at bay by our gravel, the neighbor's prayers, a stalled fire truck next to the house (the men fighting furiously to save an expensive vehicle), and a change in the wind. I think it was all of them. It seemed to come together after the prayers. I can't forget that. Laugh if you will.
Global Warming doesn't exist? They mocked former VP Al Gore for his book and his activism. They mock science and they "believe" fracking is fracking safe, Seeing that map tells me all I need to know. We're on the east coast in the lower 48 and just endured a comparatively harsh winter and I saw Polar Bears on ice flows that could barely support them in Alaska, Guess it's Big Oil and that hottest former Governor that's causing it? At any rate, please, please stay safe everyone.
There's a raging fire in Alaska, in the lower 48 a lot people believe it is God getting even with Alaskans for not speaking out against your fake politician Sarah Palin who was almost an old man's heartbeat away from the presidency.
You people need to get your heads right. These fires are the result of the evil tyrant usurper Obama using the powers of HAARP to mess up the weather, start these fires, and destroy the bible, freedom, and gun loving 'laskins as punishment for not worshiping him. It was in all the internetz if you know where to look for the truth.
(okay...for the severely snark impaired...the above is snark. It's not meant to be taken literally, though some people here will prolly still fire off a fu response, so here's a fu right backatcha)
Wow! That is horrible! Has the tundra Queen said anything about the situation? Or is the smoke not visible from the safety of AZ?
ReplyDeleteAre they starting fires?
DeleteWHOA!!! That is one f'ed up map! (But, of course, there is NOOOOOclimate change, right?!)
ReplyDeleteYeah. And not only is there no climate change, this situation causing beaucoup methane to belch into the atmosphere isn't going to accelerate it either.

Stay safe, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteDamn, the Palins brought hell fire and damnation on Alaska!
ReplyDeleteSorry for you guys, please stay safe.
They are a pack of firebugs up here!
DeleteProbably started the Willow fire!

That's a very small sample of data.

God is angry with Alaska because of excess conservatism.
ReplyDeleteAnd he is punishing fornicators and gun nuts....
DeleteRing of fire!

The map is hard to understand. Is all the pale green fire area or what?
ReplyDeleteWhat about activating Sgt. Track Palin and the Alaska National Guard to fight the fire?
ReplyDeleteHis pack will be full of meth! Go go!
DeleteYou guys need volunteers to fight the Alaskan fire?
ReplyDeleteHow about Sarah, Todd, Track and Bristol? They're not working and need jobs.
But that's W O R K!
DeletePut them on an inmate crew picking up garbage.
DeleteLol...

ReplyDeleteIs there anything Todd and the Alaskan Independence Party can do to save our state?
ReplyDeleteWhy they started them!
DeleteScary stuff! To everyone in Alaska and other parts of the country dealing with wild fires - be safe!
