Poilievre says climate change is real.

[Hamloc]

I see the flat earthers are now certain the increase in forest fires in a very hot and dry season across the country is all due to arson even though there is no credible evidence to support this boneheaded idea!

And you wonder why I call it Agrisilly?

Plain Language Summary

Contemporary fire regimes of Canadian forests have been well documented based on forest fire records between the late 1950s to 1990s. Due to known limitations of fire datasets, an analysis of changes in fire-regime characteristics could not be easily undertaken. This paper presents fire regime trends nationally and within two zonation systems, the homogeneous fire regime zones and ecozones, for two time periods: 1959-2015 and 1980-2015. Nationally, trends in both area burned and number of large fires (≥ 200 ha) have increased significantly since 1959, which might be due to increases in lightning-caused fires. Human-caused fires, in contrast, have shown a decline. Results suggest that large fires have been getting larger over the last 57 years, and that the fire season has been starting approximately one week earlier and ending one week later. At the regional level, trends in fire regimes are variable across the country, with fewer significant trends. Area burned, number of large fires, and lightning-caused fires are increasing in most of western Canada, whereas human-caused fires are either stable or declining throughout the country. Overall, Canadian forests appear to be engaged in a trajectory towards more active fire regimes over the last half century.

Great article in the Financial Post by Ross Mckitrick:”The truth about forest fires goes up in climate-change smoke”.
“We’re told we should listen to the science, but the science on forest fires is that they peaked in the 80’s”.
Great article which no doubt Chuck2 won’t read.

At least he/she has the common sense and self respect to lay low for a few days after being caught spreading outright false propaganda. Unlike another poster who just doubles down on the propaganda and attacks whoever called him out on the lies.

They have evidence that wildfires hundreds of miles across ravaged this continent way before it was widely inhabited and the earths populations was in the hundreds of thousands of hunter gatherers.

The climate narrative is just pablum for the uninformed masses.
