This morning was perhaps the most unnatural-feeling and unnerving of my life, with darkness rather than daytime rolling in. In the strange light, the world around us looked ghostly, otherworldly, unnatural, unnerving, disturbing. What is happening now is astonishingly worse than the western fire season ever has been before. Some of the people facing evacuation or worse in the Oroville-area fire resettled there after their homes in Paradise burned down. From here, under the dark orange sky, I hope that all this leads to a dramatic escalation in climate action, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
