cool video. i don’t ever remember major wildfires in Texas before. I always thought it was strange, especially after I moved back there after a huge fire in So Cal. Supposedly all those mountain juniper “cedar” trees are high in oils and can explode in flame. Some bad drought years in the 90′s I kept waiting for it to happen since the conditions seemed ripe, but never anything. Just little brush fires here or there that never amounted to much.

smoke plume is just north of San Angelo.
I grew up in that area…to see burning like that worries me. In my childhood there (70′s to late 80′s) we never saw anything like that.

Never see before?

I’m torn between sympathy for the people who live there, and the climate change deniers.

I doubt the funders of the climate change deniers are harmed in any way. Few of these probably live it those parts of Texas.

At what point dies the “free speech” of the climate change denying funders turn into a crime?
