You are very eloquent and your passionate anger shines in this piece. You are correct about everything, but "Summer of Fire" is inadequate. Try "Century of Fire".
What you are seeing is "ecosystem turnover". Global Warming is "global", every place on the planet is warming. Every ecosystem on the planet is already dying. Even if you haven't noticed it yet.
The fires won't stop until the entire planet has burned.
It's later than you think.
The first big "Climate Shock" is about to hit. In 12 to 18 months a perfect storm of warming will kick in that will last 3-5 years.
It's a 3 part storm:
1. Albedo diminishing has doubled the rate of warming in the last 7 years. It's simple, if the planetary albedo declines, the earth warms up.
Here's the bad news: the Earth's albedo has been declining during the last 20 years in response to the planetary warming.

2. The La Nina cycle we are in will flip into an El Nino.

3. Warming that was being masked by SOx emissions will rapidly take place due to the changes in diesel fuels in the shipping industry in 2020.
Cleaner Air in 2020: 0.5% sulfur cap for ships enters into force worldwide.
All of this will combine to push warming above 2C by 2026.
This is going to trigger multifocal agricultural production failures globally over the next 2-6 years. Approximately 1 billion people are probably going to starve in this time frame.
The Climate Crisis is upon us "right now".
In Ukraine we are seeing the first war of the "Climate Crisis".
Agricultural output failures of 40% are already happening.
Putin’s Strategy is coming into view. If you weren’t clear on it, World War III has started.
Here's the science part.
Heat doesn't "just happen" - Where it's coming from and why that matters.
Additional Notes on Albedo Diminishment
It's a lot to read, but yeah, 800 million to 1.5 billion dead over the next 5-6 years. With all the horrors that's going to bring. Dust Bowl 2.0 in the US for sure.
Oh, and the oceans are dying.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is it. We get the rest of this year and maybe some of 23' before Dust Bowl 2.0 starts in the US and the death toll starts climbing into the hundreds of millions globally.
