    Burn, Baby, Burn

    So, 5 Million acres burnt on the West Coast. 6 Million acres burnt in the Pantanal Tropical wetlands of Brazil. That's about 18% of the total Pantanal area.

    Just sayin'.

    Record-breaking hurricanes pummeling the U.S. out of the Atlantic.

    Don't forget a hurricane hit Greece yesterday and a subtropical storm hit Portugal today.

    4.6 Earthquake in southern California this morning.

    Given that it's 2020, the big one will finally hit, turning the California coast into an island sometime next week.
