I wouldn't be surprised if this continues. The season is on track to be the worst fire season Canada has ever seen and the risk of wildfires will remain well above average in most of the country during the summer.
Evidence that climate change is here.
It's NOT climate change. It's forest mismanagement. California, Colorado, etc., make the same stupid mistake.
It's like living in Beijing, wildfire smog is all over the Northeast coming from Canada
They are trying to blame climate change but what I'm seeing is mis-managed forests where small fires are put out and controlled burns are blocked by NIMBYs. The result is an unhealthy forest with tons of small brush and combustible materials just waiting for a spark
Yes, the needed management change is to allow more fires to burn, preferably through prescribed fires. But this needs to be done as a consequence of climate change.
No, not remotely, average temperatures are warming very quickly at higher latitudes and at higher elevations, 100% fact whether you like it or not. Specific individual weather patterns can lead to more extreme scenarios and greater fire threats in areas where fires are not common at all.
No average temperatures are not warming very quickly. Temperatures of the 1930s were warmer today then we went through a cooling process (hence fear of global cooling in 70s, 80s). There has been a hiatus of warming thats when the term global warming was rebranded as climate change. The media has made it their objective (this is on record) to make climate change the main story in every news article. You are victim of propaganda since you believe this non-sense.

Has little to do with climate change, more with the environmental movement destroying our public lands. Management of natural resources by lawyers is never a good idea.
