The smoke must really have two impacts..if you believe that the air was polluted very much in the past..the regular smoke from a wildfire might actually PULL-down some of the contaimination we spewed some 100-years ago..but then the process of burning the trees adds huge amounts of STEAM to the upper atmosphere...then the wind travels this around the world changing WEATHER..patterns...or at least affecting water tables..

I lived in the LA area in the last part of the Seventies..I don't really remember any significant FIRES then..I was there just over 365-days..

Considering alot......I find the world a suspicious place these days..too give my mind a rest I often just hope that my personal attitude declares the benefit of getting things right..I often find no allies in the news-stories...just some RANT about money-family-education...and comfort...I often view the results as organized crime and then tally the death toll(accordingly)..

Pollution was always some very obvious CHEMICAL(smell)..or ACID RAIN developed....gasoline additives spewed un-adulturated into the earths soil...I quess this is BUSINESS-as-Usual...

The humans that occupy the planet seemed parted by distinction/

The exploit...seems to excist right alongside of the POSITIVE aspect of this reality(distinction)....

It seems obvious that LONGEVITY has been thrown out some WINDOW...no bathwater...no baby....just a WINDOW///

That explains the logical belief that everything starts in the LOCAL...and then acts GLOBALLY....

I've relented that my time was a lucky time...I truly feel sorry for the future.
