The forest fires that consumed much of Yellowstone Park in 1988 reduced 793,880 acres (3,213 km2) to lifeless ash. As an indicator of heat & intensity: in many places, the subsoil was incinerated to a depth of more than three feet. The 2017 fires in California State forests – where state regulations prohibited thinning of trees by logging businesses, and instead dictated poisoning of unwanted trees and leaving the dead carcasses in place – were in places AT LEAST as intense as the Yellowstone fire, and are calculated to have consumed 1,548,429 acres (6,266.27 km2) and sterilized the soil to a remarkable depth, just as the Yellowstone fires had done. Those two catastrophic forest fire events are among the most intense forest fires of modern history. Do we see nanodiamonds associated with worldwide nuclear testing from 1945-1964? Or from the many volcanic eruptions like Mount St. Helens, Pinatubo, Anak Krakatao, or the hundreds of others over the last four years, that also incinerated tens of millions of plants and critters and trees? If Nanodiamonds could be created by the paltry heat of such forest fires, we should all be able to go to our back yards and spade up a retirement fund, along with enough worms for an afternoon of fishing.
