Exactly! Which makes the real climate shift way scarier. Like shown by the data from svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5452/

And local impacts / bad years are worse
The LA fires destroyed "approximately 9% of the number of new homes completed statewide in the prior year
or more than 60% of the number of homes created in Los Angeles County in 2024"

Building new homes to meet the housing crisis is crucial, but can't pour into a bucket with a gaping hole in it.
I'm so proud of the result and hope that it is indeed helpful as a reference for a broad array of stakeholders.
