I know it's impossible to give up your doomscrolling addiction in the middle of nowhere. This is what causes those Albertans to go for the separation fantasy. But new buyers can sit on their thumbs for a few months. Then will have zero new setups in Canada.
Well, back to doomscrolling....
I have invented the handy-dandy grass fire survival system. It consists of a filter cloth, standard foxhole shovel, smoke filter and tiny oxygen container.
Upon seeing the fire, you are in smoke, and it's coming right at you. Immediately stomp the grass around you, and spread out the weighted cloth, because the severe convection storm is 100 km/hr. My cloth is a big donut, with a hole. Put on the smoke filter, and dig like your life depends on it. Cover the cloth and go to recommended volume of half a person.
Jump in and pull the cloth over you with all the dirt. You now have another filter. You have to survive the ten minutes where there is no oxygen. The automatic face filter starts bleeding the oxygen so you survive face down in the dirt. The cloth is a carbon heat shield.
When the oxygen is back. put out the little pointy stick that tells the temperature, like a roast thermometer. Jump out and say "Wooo boy!'.
I am selling these for 10,000 a pop. Tested in my brain. Also good for when you see a Russian sprayer drone.
ps of course, if the weather people ever use physics, you won't need it.
In the 70's we realized that clear-air convection storms were a hazard to life. This is the reason why jets fall out of the sky, and how the military could be caught in a grass fire. All the deadly fires in California have been whipped up by them.
Then we had the big turn against physics, led by good old nasa. They went for 'influencer science', because they could dictate the results that were best for getting money out of Congress. Everybody else turned to it, as well.
A clear-air convection storm is my new name for Arctic blobs. It's much cuter. These simply come from big differences in temperature. Weather people just deal with lows and highs. A low is always a storm, and a high is fine weather. These are just patterns on the weather maps, and do not require any physics.
For our modern instrumentation era, we have been in a benign cycle of warmth. This was caused by a circulation pattern in the Pacific. That pattern has been blown away. We are now in the 'bad' cycle, that has affected our ancient history.
Think of the poor Neanderthals. Big and huge, they were well suited for a European cold era. In came the warmth, and little guys from Africa killed them all. Then we had the little Romans during a big warm cycle. Lots of farming in northern Britain. Then it was all cold, and the Big Barbarians sacked them.
Of course, we had the big Viking era. Conquering all the way to the Mediterranean, during a cold cycle. Come the warmth, and they were chased out by the little guys. The 'Little Ice Age' was again a giant conquer-fest for the Northern Europeans.
These are the big 300 year cycles. The little 20 year cycles, caused lots of little fun. The dust bowl of the 30's. Hilter running out of warm socks in Russia, etc.
All this is physics, and big new thing is clear-air convection storms. Wait for one near you!
Obviously, my solution is to kick all the weather people to the curb. But that does nothing, as we know with Trump. I am hoping that everybody will realize they have been duped and go to Rationality, but nasa showed us that the thing to do is to blame the people who knew, because they were out-voted. Then go back to the usual.
