The combination of fake scientists and fake journalists joining forces to create fake climate stories, is a fascinating phenomena. I feel privileged to get to watch this theater of the absurd play out.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

UNUSUAL SKY COLOUR – CANADIAN FIRES
Over the period 22nd/23rd May (1870), there were reports of unusual coloration to the sun: the exact colours are described differently, but initially white (not long after sunrise), then “purple side of red” or “dark red”, then as the sun climbed higher in the sky . . . . “pink, inclining to purple”, seems to sum up the observations from a wide area from Ireland & Britain to western mainland Europe; the phenomenon lasted several hours at any one location and the overall sky was described as ‘hazy’ (high dust loading); observers described the sun as if “shining through smoke” and “so dim it looked like the moon”. Some reported seeing sunspots on the solar disk – looking directly at the sun, even through opera glasses and as no ill-effects were noted, we must assume that the sun’s radiation intensity was significantly reduced.
The phenomenon was due to a major fire that had occurred in Canada 18th/19th May (i.e., 4 or 5 days previously) in the Saguenay region of north-eastern Québec. The spring had been unusually dry and farmers had ploughed their fields by early May. A huge forest/brush fire had broken out, with a strong wind fanning the flames, and the ‘wildfire’ spread rapidly (no doubt generating its own high wind field), the plume of smoke penetrating high into the troposphere. The fire spread so quickly and was so intense that some only had enough time to reach safety or the nearest area of water to survive without their valued possessions – and of course agriculture was severely impacted. By evening on the 19th May, the fire had largely burnt itself out, but by that time a huge plume of smoke particles was being carried towards the east (and eventually Europe) on the upper winds.
