Not to forget that our new types of 'mega fires' leaves forest remains more unwilling to come back. A new thing that we haven't observed before our new type of wildfires, and still don't know what to make of.

Let's see if Copernicus can produce the same kind of educated journalism as with our friends over the pond, or if they will be reined in by political and economic interests.

I'm betting on the last one myself

Nowhere, an extinction event, but it will do it with 'a bang', as those Americans express it
