Not close, but we have plenty of smelly smoke, intermittently. Fluffy
white ash on my car. The sun is a dirty orange ball just now. One of
my engineers lives in the Santa Cruz mountains, and there\'s a fire
just a couple of ridges over from his house.
A week or so ago, we got spectacular lightning storms. We very rarely
see lightning here. There were something like 12,000 ground strikes.

The situation here is that it rains and snows in the winter and things
grow. It\'s dry in the summer and things burn. That\'s been our carbon
cycle since the glaciers went away. Modern machinery keeps putting out
small fires, so we get big ones. I suspect that \"climate change\"
contributes by having more CO2 available for plant growth; more carbon
in, more out.
If we open a window, the house smells smoky. If we close up, it soon
smells fine. I assume that the smoke particles precipitate out onto
surfaces, most likely carpet with its large surface area, maybe plant
leaves, a little bit our lungs. The cat may help a little.

Nope. The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has remained pretty constant
at about 385ppm for well over 100 years - but you wouldn\'t know that
unless you study the *original* printed literature going back over
that time-frame.

It makes sense that all that burning of oil and gas and coal would
increase CO2. This real issue is, is that good or bad? Plants like it.

Well, it is one of a plant\'s nutrients, after all. Grasshoppers, though, have
a complaint: the fast-growing grasses aren\'t nutritious enough.

The Mauna Loa data is probably reliable.

So, what is CA doing to mitigate these fires? Answer: NOTHING -
they are making matters WORSE by giving incentives to increase the
fuel load in forests:

You wouldn\'t know that at all, if you studied the sampled air in ices.
Or, any modern data, really.
Three decimal places, for a century past, is certainly a lie.
The vague \'printed literature\' references don\'t satisfy, and it\'s odd
that you should try, feebly, to foist such a whopper onto us.
What\'s your game?
