Plumes erupt across multiple US states

If this was a big deal, why isn't the media going crazy? Like someone in the comments said, they're probably just controlled burns or some factories releasing gases or something.

Uh, that's exactly what the media wants.

Controversy raises ratings and revenues, so sure... the media have a reason to show it if there is anything to it. What are we in the dark about?

That area is historically pretty geologically stable. Looking at recent quake maps, I'm not seeing any change in that. That makes uploader's idea of it being underground steam pretty far fetched.
His dismissal of controlled burns requiring radio synchronization also makes no sense. We have stores and restaurants opening at the same time all over 10 states, and they don't sync with each other to do it... it's just the way the scheduling works for them.

Has anyone looked into natural patterns? Is this something that happens at a certain temperature range?
