The question of whether a certain discission have more "politics inside" than another is a very political one, especially when someone tries to have a right opinion (even if the advocated opinion is "let us promote diversity and respect different political opinions) and use it to achieve some goals.

The area with ashes and smoke instead of usual air is several times larger... It covers Siberian part of Russia, Kazakhstan an probabaly China and Mongolia.
Certainly, such wildfire events are not new as we can read from https://www.stolenhistory.org/threads/what-happened-to-the-s...
But it is scary anyway.

Frankly, I have never seen before such a sun during an entire day, and in now it lasts for a several weeks! It is very strange, especially when main news channels says almost nothing about the situation.

Imagine we managed to be better than the fire and touch an international community faster, then its smoke will did, could such a level of attention change the situation and and push government(s) to use some kind of aviation to extinguish the fire?
The rain is the only hope...

I hope so. Some people talk about singularity, others speculates about a great collapse. Maybe thes two just are different names of the one thing? Two sides of the same coin?
I think not, and I hope that we will find a cure and come back to the point of balance.

The sun looks impressive, it is terrible, it is red, even during a day. Siberian sky has a steel color.

Indeed!
Something also happens at the east coast of US. Is it a usual level of air pollution at that period?
