It covered cars with ash and turned the sky's above Punoma County red as this smoke block the sun. So far this year, California has seen more than eight thousand wildfires, destroying more than seven thousand buildings, scorching nearly fifty eight hundred square miles. That's the size of almost three million football fields.

So many beautiful wineries are being threatened by these wildfires. And remember, there are a lot of people who rely on these wineries. You've got the owners, you've got the employees, you've got the economy of entire towns.

I feel really bad for America's book clubs because without wine, they're gonna have to discuss books soba, and I mean, that's just English class. Here's my question, though, how come wildfires never burn the shit that we want them to? Huh? Just once I want to turn on the news and hear about a wildfire burning down a pedophile's house, you know, taking out a neo Nazi recruitment center, then passing by a marshmallow factory and roasting everything.

And another reason I hope that these wineries get out of this thing. Okay, it's not just because of how awful it would be for the region, but because it would mean that we would all left to start getting our wine from New Jersey. Hmm, I detect hints of Adidas track suit and Gubba goole. But yes, With yet another wildfire breaking out in California, a record setting year, continues to get even worse for the West Coast, and the question many people are asking is why why have wildfires gotten so out of control? Well, let's find out why. In another installment of If you don't know, now you know? So why have wildfires been so bad in recent years?

It's a disastrous new normal. Catastrophic fires once contained one season, now a hair wa year round battle. We're going to go a major factor climate change. In the last forty years, fault temperatures in California have increased about two degrees, where precipitation has dropped about thirty percent.

Five of the biggest fires have been this year's sane, although this is twenty twenty, so I'm kind of shocked that all of the biggest fires haven't been from this year. Wildfires might be here to stay, which is awful for humans, but especially bad for trees because they can't move. Humans can just run away from a wildfire, but trees they're just stuck there.

Now, there are a number of ways that climate change makes wildfires bigger and more frequents. For instance, not only does dryer wood and leaves make better fuel for fires, but hot weather is also associated with increasing lightning strikes that ignite them. In fact, even small things about climate change can have a huge ripple effect that leads to fires, and I mean really small things.

Bark beetle infestation is linked to global warming. As the weather gets warmer, they burrow into the bark of pine trees. They kill the pine trees. The pine trees then essentially become sticks of kindling ready to burn.

The last season of Game of Thrones was bad enough when Denaris was burning everything down with dragons. Now I imagine if she had beetles instead, that shit would make the brand storyline seem exciting. Well, let's get back to the kid who's like a bird or something. I don't want these beetles. So, yes, we have to address climate change. But the truth is climate change isn't the only reason that these fires have been getting worse. There's also at least a century of government stupidity.

Controlled fire or prescribed fire is the method of burning certain land to reduce wildfire hazards. This method was developed by Native Americans thousands of years ago. These low intensity fires, called cultural burnings, that built much of California's forests. Without controlled burns, forests would have become overgrown and unmanageable. Overgrown forests create a lot of fuel in its form of dry or dead plants. As European colonization grew in California, native tribes were banned from engaging in cultural burning, and over time, state and federal authorities focus on quickly extinguishing any wildfires. For example, the US Forest Service infamous ten Am policy so that any fires that occurred in it must be put out by ten am the next day. This limit on fires.

Did little to reduce the fuel that was growing on the forest floor. And even with these policies, California still has fuel loads waiting to be burned from centuries ago, making prescribe burning far more tedious and expensive than previously thought.

Yeah, you heard that right.

One thing that would help out a lot is if California had been doing more controlled burns, which is basically when you burn a little to prevent a lot from burning later. It's the same way you meet your college friend for coffee so that you don't have to have a three hour dinner with them. And you know, you have to admit, it's pretty unbelievable that California is now doing what they outlawed the Native people from doing. I guess it's kind of hard, though, to kick somebody off their land and take their advice at the same time, this is my property now, you savage.

Oh.

Oh.

Also, before you go, do you have any landscaping tips, like any like mulching techniques or things that I have to learn now. Obviously, it's bad enough that wildfires are burning millions and millions of trees, but what makes it an especially big problem for people is that we've been giving the fires a lot more of our stuff to burn.

We've got houses in places we didn't used to have houses, and that puts people and property at risk.

As more houses are built near wildlands, more of them burn. Fifty years ago, wildfires destroyed a few hundred structures per year across the United States. Now it's more than three thousand. In California alone. More than six million houses are in wild.

Ah, you do yourself a favous smoky ban. You stay out of the suburbs. We don't want Karen calling the cops on you. Hello, nine one one, There is a bear in my neighborhood and he's he's brown. But yes, one big problem is that more and more people are building homes in the middle of the forest. And let's place the blame where it belongs. Here with the Keibler Alves Yeah, these guys made living in the forest looks so cool that everyone started doing it. You get to be in a tree making cookies all day. Sounds great, But guess what those cookies are covered with beetles. And if we're honest here, guys, one of the bigger issues is human arrogance.

It's the same way people in Florida are always surprised when alligators show up. Oh, there's an alligator in my backyard. No, there's a person in that alligator's house. But the good news is we can fix these problems. Yeah, believe it or not. The wildfires don't have to happen the way they have been. We can stop them if we take action to reduce climate change. We can stop them if we maintain the forest, and we can stop them if we build in environmentally sensitive ways.

I'm not gonna bore you with the effects of climate change that everybody knows about, you know, like more extreme weather, rising sea levels. Feeling guilty every time I start a wildfire. What we're gonna focus on instead is how all the major effects trickle down into a lot of weird little.

Sand temperature determines the sex of the hatchlings. So for the Northern Great beriery green turtle stock that they've been producing over the last ten to twenty years, ninety nine percent females. If that trend continues for decades to come, that's an irreversible issue and will lead them towards extinction.

Ah, people, this is this is terrible. You kind of all female turtles.

Ah, people, this is this is terrible. You kind of all female turtles.

The species is going to go extinct, and it's also going to make for some really lame gender revealed parties. Oh wow, it's a girl, And I know what you're thinking right now. You're going, well, at least life is going to be pretty sweet for all those male turtles. Eh, they're going to be cleaning up on turtle tender And yeah, it may seem like a good deal until they realize that they're going to be expected to perform all the time morning turtle sex, afternoon turtle sex, nighttime turtle sex. They'll never have any time left to do whatever else turtles do, I don't eat plastic straws. I guess they don't do that for themselves. But that's the kind of weird effect of climate change that nobody saw coming, you know. I mean, how crazy is it that the heat of the sand is what determines the sex of the baby? You know, turtles should just do it like humans have the sex of the baby determined by the man screaming either male or female at the time of conception. It's a lot easier that way.

A changing climate is putting those key ingredients used in beer at risk. More rain versus snow in the winter. This means irrigation may depend more on groundwater, which has a higher mineral content, and that's a big deal because that affects the beerest taste.

I'm pretty sure it's a bad change. I mean, the real housewives already fighting each other at current wine levels. You raised that any higher that show is going to have to move to UFC. And what's crazier for me is that this is gonna make coffee taste worse. That's what they said. That blew my mind because I already think coffee tastes like you burned Doghan and put the ashes in a cup of water. Yeah, and I know right now all the coffee drinkers.

If that's true, then why is it that every single coffee place has fifty different ways to cover up the taste of coffee. Huh? You got creamer in your coffee, you got half in half, you got vanilla, lattes, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, sugar, stevia.

You know why, because when you have coffee flavor, that shit keeps you up for three days, not because of the caffeine, because of the taste of regret. I'm never doing that again. And look, people can get used to bad coffee and stronger wine. I mean, we'll just put more oat milk in both of them.

There are so many different things that can dampen your sex drive, and now here's another one to add to the list. Global warming. Researchers looked at really hot days and then look forward nine months. The impact was pretty sizable. In the United States, they found that the impact of one hot day meant eleven hundred fewer births. Nine months later, that could mean one hundred thousand fewer.

So basically Drake's album cover, but nobody is pregnant and everyone is just punching each other. And you know, my one hope is that this is the news that finally gets people to take drastic action, because if anything is gonna motivate people, it's gonna be the end of sex. Oh. I mean, if there's one thing that could get humans to jump into action, it would be the prospect of absolutely no sex, because, trust me, the first time we caught of sex because of the heat, people are gonna lose it.

Afghanistan, of all the countries in the world, is ranked sixth in the list of all the countries hit hardest by climate change. The Taliban has gone to the communities of these farmers and mostly impoverished people in rural Afghanistan and said to them, look around you. You're not getting the support that you need from this government. Come join us. It's been very crucial to their eyes over the past two decades.

The Taliban won in Afghanistan because of climate change, and also because America couldn't go a week without joining a school, but mostly climate change. Well, this really shows how desperate climate change can make people. When your livelihood is destroyed, you will turn to anybody promising relief. I mean, I will say, though, if you gave power to the Taliban because it was too hot, I think that's a decision that you're going to regret.

I mean, I will say, though, if you gave power to the Taliban because it was too hot, I think that's a decision that you're going to regret. All right, First thing, men, growbeards, women, come on everything except your eyes.

Climate change also affects objects in space. As the upper atmosphere gets thinner thanks to climate change, the amount of drag goes down, and that means satellites stay in orbit longer, But it also means everything up there will stick around longer. Like the used upper sections of rockets which sometimes stay in orbit, or any debris from the occasional satellite collision. As more objects stick around, there is a higher and higher chance that they will collide, putting even more junk in orbit.

Right now, there are probably over three million kilograms of space junk, vastly outweighing out operational satellites and nearby natural meteorites combined, forming a giant space tornado of death above our heads.

You know what, I'm I'm not gonna lie. Giant space tornado of death sounds like the coolest way that you could die. No, no, no, wait wait wait I take it back, I take it back. The coolest way to die is still being trampled to death in a stampede of Rihanna's. That's still number.

A lot of weird little effects that, when you add them all together, ends up being basically everything you know. We could be facing a future where your sex starved husband gets killed by space junk while he's on the way to join the Taliban. And don't forget, Please do not forget what it's going to do to our friends, the sea turtles.

The female green turtle approaches a potential mate for the male turtle. This, his delicate ritual, is part of an endless, nightmarish orgy from which he cannot escape. He will have no peace, no rest, no moment to enjoy a tasty bed of sea grass, dignity a distant memory. He is nothing more than a communal reptilium stick attached to a shell, passed around from female to female, and expected to slam.
