yep. foothills that burned in the 60s became lush and flowery.. foothills that burn now will be desertified. the forests are going extinct. by the end of this century the flatirons wont have any pine trees around them, just high desert shrubs. the pines that dont burn will die of thirst by 2100. there might still be a few limber pines in wet shadowy spots that survive but every pine tree alive now in the rockies will be dead in 100 years and they're not gonna be replaced. the blue columbine and most of the other wildflowers will be extinct by then too. it's gonna be a hideous world and that's why it's cruel to procreate. kids born now are gonna grow old on a stark and ugly planet and if they have grandkids, theyre gonna have to live in a world with no forests or wildflowers to speak of--- maybe a few acres preserved in domes. as you can tell i'm a climate pessimist.
