Find and prosecute the persons that deliberately lit those fires.

Something fast for when the power fails or something wide with a ND filter to capture the rushing flood, or a camera with a high shutter speed for the fire.

Convert your camera to IR.
It cuts through the smoke surprisingly well.

Yes I get your point.
Rome is burning and we play the fiddle.
The problem is that as it was with Rome, most fires are deliberately or occasionaly accidentaly lit .
(BTW , for those that like the Nero story, the fiddle did not exist at the time)

Something really big is about to happen, and the credit card bill will never come due?!?
I'll take three of each, a pile of lenses, and 60 extra batteries please.

So....what exactly are you trying to tell us?

Are you talking about the seasonal forest fires around the med?
Are you talking about global warming? Or rather, climate change? Because global warming requires a few more centuries of data to be established...

I'm going to guess he means that with all the terrible things going on in the world we shouldn't be stressing and fretting over which camera or lens to buy next.

In a few more centuries it will be far too late.

A thread like this isn't surprising. We are bombarded with bad news by the 24 hour news cycle. We have to decide if we're going to get up in the morning and fret all our waking hours, get and ulcer, hide in our 'safe place' (I really hate that term), or....
....go about your business and take care of what you can take care of. We all have our ways of coping with the negative side of life. Some do it with vigor, some just sulk. I would truly hate it if I woke up every morning in a bad mood and stayed that way until I went to bed. Unfortunately, there's a lot of people in that state.
Keep in mind....all things are relative.

We've got 800,000 years of data studying ice cores.
Evidence - NASA Science
Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 800,000 years, there have been eight cycles of ice ages and warmer periods, with the end of

It was always burning since the world's been turning.
Sometimes I find the news depresses me about the fate of the world. Sometimes I discover that people 20, 50, 100 and more years ago felt the same way.
The thing is, even if we all stopped worrying about our own lives and dedicated ourselves to trying to make the world a better place, we'd end up at war fighting over whose plan makes it better and whose makes it worse.

As a geologist, I have a different perspective. Not saying we should be idle and not act, but all this doom and gloom is a tad exaggerated. When "global warming" is difficult to scientifically prove (as I said, it requires a lot more data in time), the agenda changed to "climate change". Well, climate has been changing on Earth for the last 4.5 billion years...
The issue is much more complex than normally discussed and presented.

Not fair to disregard the other 500 million years or so:

See? Much more complex than normally discussed by the doomsday folk. As I said, we need to do something, but it is a complex subject. Are you going to tell the billions of people in poor countries that require cheap electricity from coal that they can not have it?
