Weekend of fear looms for Californians in face of wildfires

6. It looks like the effects of global warming are getting worse by the day and it is happening

faster than even a lot of scientists had thought. We knew that this was going to happen but few predicted it would happen so fast.

And we are to the point now where even if the whole world immediately adopted every strict environmental measure necessary it would take decades if not centuries to undo the damage that our species has done to this planet. And of course the world will not do that.

I am old enough that I will not live to see the worst of it. It's bad enough now but I really fear for what my grandchildren will face.

Where I live here in Nevada right now the air quality from smoke from wildfires is so bad that I even have to think twice about letting my dog out in the back yard to breathe that poison. We are hostages inside our homes with the windows and doors closed and the air purifier running full blast. And I think about all of the animals such as birds and deer who have no shelter from the pollution. Plus many of them are being impacted by the fires themselves. We share this planet with many other species and I am afraid that we will take a lot of them down with us. It is so tragic. And this was so preventable.
