The amount of annual wildfires and the area annually burned by them has dramatically dropped has in fact decreased 90% from the early 1900’s and the centuries and millennia before.

The orange or reddish appearance of the sky during large wildfires is primarily due to the scattering of sunlight by smoke particles and other aerosols in the atmosphere. This phenomenon occurs because of the interaction between sunlight and the tiny particles produced by the combustion of vegetation and other materials in the fire.
Here's how it works:
Scattering of Light: Smoke contains tiny particles, such as soot, ash, and other aerosols, that are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light. When sunlight passes through the smoke-filled atmosphere, these small particles scatter the shorter wavelengths of blue and violet light more effectively than they scatter the longer wavelengths of red and orange light. This selective scattering causes the blue and violet hues to be scattered in different directions and reduces their presence in the visible spectrum.
Red and Orange Light Dominance: As a result of the selective scattering, the sky takes on an orange or reddish appearance. This occurs because the longer wavelengths of red and orange light are less affected and continue to dominate the sky, giving it the characteristic fiery or apocalyptic look.
Sun Position and Atmosphere Thickness: The exact color and intensity of the sky during a wildfire can also depend on the position of the sun in the sky and the thickness and composition of the smoke layer. When the sun is lower in the sky (during sunrise or sunset), its light must pass through a greater thickness of the atmosphere, which can accentuate the scattering effect and intensify the red and orange colors.
The level of intensity and the specific coloration can vary depending on the particular fire, the types of vegetation and materials burning, and the prevailing atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the presence of ash and soot in the air can further enhance the red and orange appearance, making the sky look like it's on fire.
He knows nothing about Rayleigh scattering and it shows.
This guy doesn’t add anything of value to the conversation. Why is he on there? Dumb
