Climate change mixed with awful mismanagement of forests. Overzealous fire suppression and thoughtless tree planting has lead to forests that are artificially over-dense so when they dry out they practically explode when ignited.

Forest fire in the rainforest is/should be pretty alarming - especially since they have not historically happened there.

I was confused because what your describing sounds like large parts of New Zealand and Tasmania, so I checked Wikipedia which says:

Temperate rainforests occur in oceanic moist regions around the world: the Pacific temperate rainforests of North American Pacific Northwest as well as the Appalachian temperate rainforest in the Appalachian region of the United States; the Valdivian temperate rainforests of southwestern South America; the rainforests of New Zealand and southeastern Australia; northwest Europe (small pockets in Great Britain and larger areas in Ireland, southern Norway, northern Iberia and Brittany); southern Japan; the Black Sea–Caspian Sea region from the southeasternmost coastal zone of the Bulgarian coast, through Turkey, to Georgia, and northern Iran.

Isn't there a temperate rain forest in the American Northeast? Saw a wild video where a guy hiked in, don't remember where. I was stunned that such a thing was up there!

Found it:

Is that one of the 3?

While temperate rainforests are indeed special, they're not quite as uncommon as you state. There are 12 major temperate rainforest areas worldwide. And the one you mention, the Hoh, is part of a bigger rainforest system that stretches from Northern California all the way to Alaska. If you've ever been to Vancouver island, BCs Sunshine Coast, or Haida G'waii you'd be well aware of the expanse that the temperate rainforest encompasses . That said, we are both in agreement that it is both majestic and incredibly important ecosystem.

Oh no, not smoked flans!

and is this a community yet: c/onlyflans

I am from Lithuania and our sunsets are extra orange due to ash particles (from the forest fires in Canada) in the higher atmosphere.

Why does the graph go anti-clockwise?

Gonna need a lot of our help to have it go across the country

If you look into the CSZ “big one” you might find that we’re likely to face uncontrolled fires throughout the PNW shortly following the earthquake. Expecting “complete economic collapse” for everything west of I5. Think the official estimate was a 37 percent chance within 50 years, about 30 years ago…
