September 2020 has given us a glimpse of the future for the American West, and it is a bleak hell of catastrophic heat, drought and fire.

We are recording the global climate change killing of the living Earth. 

Massive fires are burning in the Amazon and the Arctic for the second record year in a row. Judging from the NASA FIRMS satellite world fire map, 1,500 miles of fires are burning right across the Amazon, and fires are burning across 6,000 miles of the Siberian Arctic. Nothing about global warming is so definite, so visible and so terrible as the burning of these great forests.
