We are witnessing a disaster that maybe no one will witness in a while: the COVID-19 pandemic which is a deep a scar on the face of the year 2020. It does not mean that the “old fashion disasters” are not going to appear. The skyline of San Francisco looks like an image from mars. The sky turned orange and it was more like apocalypse as residents reported. The smoke coming from the wildfire miles away across the west coast blocked the sun and caused ashes to rain down. Some local sources told the CNN the it was coming from Oregon, nearly 530 miles away. “It was like the nighttime and it made me wonder what the time is now, and it was 11:30 at daytime”, Resident said to Sky News. According to National interagency fire center, dozens of wildfires have been ravaging the west coast, scorching two million acres as of the 10th of September across the state of California. This year in compare of other years is a record. About 200 Labor Day visitors to the Sierra National forces were evacuated by helicopters. The wind and high temperature made the situation worse and heat flows made Los Angles County hit 121 degrees, according to New York times. The fires have led to the longest stretch of unhealthy air quality alerts on record in the Bay Area. (source: Bay Area Air Quality Management District). The situation was not limited to the United States, but it also reached the Middle East, specifically in Syria, where many shots and videos spread on social media and local media showing hundreds of kilometers of forests in a state of burning. Does not this make us wonder why those aggressive fires happened? The answers may vary but we all agreed that the pollution and the climate change are the two main common factors in this equation.
