Bit of a stretch. Finding carbon is not evidence of early molecular life.

I'm doing something wrong.

He's going to quote this one back at you when you're complaining about humidity. His complaining is quite a bit less than 10 years ago. Baby steps.

Latest fire map. Outstanding job by the firefighters so far.

From the Cedar Creek inciweb site:

Latest map Oakridge is in the circle. The scale is at the bottom. I know fires burn better uphill so people count how many ridges the fire has to cross to get to their town. Of course strong winds blow embers over fire lines and across ridgetops. Hopefully one of the experts will chime in and post.

This would be nice.

These are compiled from infrared satellite pics. The "fire" in McMinnville is actually a steel mill.

Hopefully these wind shifts will have the fires blowing back on themselves.

The ECMWF trended east since yesterday.

Current fire activity in NW US with no rain in sight.

Any idea how much water vapor was pumped into the stratosphere from the nuclear testing at the Bikini atoll?
