    its not just their use of fuels ... but immigrants due increase their use of fossil fuels dramatically.

    an immigrants carbon footprint can rise ten fold. Especially if they use air conditioning or work with people in Futurecurrents industry.

    So illegal immigrants don't have cars, don't have refrigerators, don't use AC. Sounds like you are making assumptions associating their race with extreme poverty.

  4. Oh, they have cars. Who they might belong to is a sensitive question.

    This is the poor thinking that leads to a lifetime of cleaning air ducts.

    The winds are gnarly but it's still 20 miles from me, lots of horse ranches in the zone so they are trying to round them up, if it keeps heading west towards the ocean look out. Camp Pendleton is in the path so the marines will get involved soon. Lugar got banned so he's down in Tijuana Ho chasing.

    I saw the imagery from the Space Station feed and yeah it looks like Pendleton is right there. Not a lot there to slow the fire down either.
    San Luis Rey Downs is basically opening the stable doors and just turning $100,000 + racehorses loose to flee for themselves. http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wir...losed-southern-california-fire-rages-51643676

  10. In single precip events, which is not the same as more rain per year. So there can be droughts and floods at the same time. Understand?

    This figure shows the percentage of the land area of the contiguous 48 states where a much greater than normal portion of total annual precipitation has come from extreme single-day precipitation events. The bars represent individual years, while the line is a nine-year weighted average.
