Ok but you attacked someone for saying that they personally aren’t suffering, even though they weren’t suggesting they speak for everyone either… unlike the other comment

Read the first comment though… it suggested that literally everyone is struggling

Me rn (or my poop more accurately)

No actually fires have an overall negative (lowering) effect on temperatures, because the smoke reduces the sun energy from reaching land over large areas, it’s been well established that areas affected by smoke will have lower peak temps than they otherwise would have. Except it can cause temps to stay higher overnight by preventing the heat from escaping into atmosphere.

But in terms of highest temps ever recorded… it doesn’t seem fires would contribute to that at all, more just a consequence of the high temps (drying effect).

Yep I’ve often had to do something like that to get around broken website interfaces
