two significant disasters are almost overlapping now? (global warming?)
the combined longterm effect is greater than either one by its lonesome?

I thought that Putin himself had put out the fires.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Tuesday took part in extinguishing forest fires in Ryazan Province on board an amphibious firefighting airplane.

The Russian head of government was the co-pilot for half an hour aboard a Be-200 plane scooping up water from the nearby Oka River and dumping it on raging forest fires some 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow.

He dumped approximately 12 tons of water on each of two fires, extinguishing both completely.

More than 600 fires continue to burn across Russia.

That seems like a ridiculous number of wild fires to have going at once. How many fires are burning during peak season in the USA at any one time?

Seems someone or something has or is trying to burn Russia to the ground. This will also greatly affect food supplies and pricing.

Seems like a bigger story than is being reported.

I seem to recall sometime ago watching a video that was made by someone who illegally entered into the forbidden zone and recorded scenes of ghost towns,etc. It was really quite interesting and frightening at the same time.

I agree that this is a much bigger story than what we are being told. I have heard almost nothing about this in the American media.

A large fire can have embers blown and start another fire- it can be large or small but if there is any distance between it and the original one they can call it a seperate one. When things get hot and dry enough it doesn't take much to get one going. Some here in CA have even been caused by sparks from a car.

we have seen several years of intense west coast fires.
the surprise is, this all is NEAR siberia and/or around moscow.
the unusually high triple digit temperatures have the russian woods
bone dry. the sore temptation is global warming or climate change as a call.
