If you live in North America or Europe, you’re not feeling great about fire trends. But globally, fire emissions are down thanks mostly to “reduced levels of seasonal biomass burning in tropical Africa”, though increasing fires in Canada and Russia could change this trend. #fire #climate https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/lowest-global-biomass-burning-emissions-record-during-first-half-2026?ueid=fb55828596a45ee61d038e026208ee8b&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Good%20News%208/15/26&utm_term=Good%20News

North Dakota's surface water, fire, and vegetation are coupled — change one and the others answer. I built an Earth Engine explorer over 2000–2024 to watch it happen.

They don't seem to be making much progress on the Frijoles #Fire which has spread over a wide area of the Sangre de Cristos. Though I'm happy to see that containment is now reported at 12%, after more than a week at 0%. Photo is from yesterday but it looks much the same today, with a little more cloud cover but still no rain.

"It is normal to feel grief and loss at this suggestion of not lighting a fire in Leo season. But we are Pagans, Druids, Witches, and earth-loving people. We must listen to her needs beyond what our desires or traditions have been."

#Australia is big. And empty.
400,000 ha (>1500 sq mi) of the #Tanami Desert is on #fire, notionally in the middle of winter. Nobody noticed until a #Darwin scientist spotted it on a #satellite image.

San Antonio hot springs yesterday. A lovely morning hike, though it was hot coming back, and we were trying to hurry because we were getting phone alerts about a fire that turned out to be nearby (we didn't know that at first, the alerts just said Horseshoe Springs and we had no idea where that was, but then we ran into a local who advised us to get out because the fire was relatively close). Apparently it was a small fire, quickly controlled.

We’ve had #fire for longer than we thought
Cave sediment in South Africa suggests #HomoErectus used fire nearly 1.8 million years ago
Before now, the earliest evidence of the use of fire by hominids was from the same cave — the Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa’s Northern Cape province — and dated to about 1 million years ago. The new evidence comes from an earlier and deeper level of sediment, says Univ of Toronto #archaeologist Michael Chazan.
