SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia (KKTV) - The Global SuperTanker, a massive aircraft used to fight wildfires that is based out of Colorado Springs, is being called upon to help battle fires in the Amazon.

Dan Reese, president of Global SuperTanker Services, confirmed the plane landed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia early in the morning on Aug. 23. Operations began almost immediately.

"We were contracted for a minimum of 14 days and are in day three of operations where we are at about a four to five drop/day tempo," Reese said Monday in an email to 11 News.

Nah that's a lame copout. I want our end to be our doing and entirely preventable. No supervolcano, no giant asteroid, just human ingenuity and hubris.

i dont want to deal with another century slowly watching poor countries drown as the floodwaters reach us when a gamma ray burst lasts for at most several hours. and itll be even funnier if we actually start comprehensive global warming relief efforts maybe a year beforehand

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Bolsonero is basically Brazilian Trump but more blatantly fascist. Also probably less stupid than Trump, not that that's much of a feat.

His whiny rear end wants Macron to retract his "insulting statements" about Bostonaro before accepting help.

He should be skinned alive.

The rainforest melting away may turn out to be the best thing for the Earth, as things should really start improving once the planet is no longer suitable to human life.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Using wildfires to solve political problems seems like a bad idea. Yeah, I'm gonna go with bad. Once they get going they are notoriously hard to control, and don't tend to stop at city limits. Much less go around the farmland and cattle land that used to be forest. Wildfire is not a sensible tool.

fascists are the stupidest mother fuckers on this gay rear end earth and dont care

I dunno, Australia's tree species have mostly adapted to fire by making the fires worse
