Canada reports worst wildfire season on record — and there's more to come this fall

And coincidentally, neither seems to ever post about anything relevant to agriculture, on this agricultural forum inhabited by farmers, except the aforementioned lectures about government programs.

So the self declared libertarian wants posters to only post about ag in the rural issues thread? What kind of libertarian tells other people what they can post? LOL

Climate change and renewable energy are rural issues don't you think?

Why do you post on these issues and then complain about the lack of ag content? Lame again!

I think what he meant , if I may ,is that this is basically an ag platform , yet you never mention anything ag? You do know you can post ag topics even though you are banished to the daycare ?

Significant human caused climate change is a given at 420 ppm of CO2. 90% of the past warming has gone into the oceans.

Adaptation and mitigation are both on the table.

The question is will we reduce our emissions in time to stop runaway irreversible catastrophic climate change? Because if we don't the cost and disruption will be extreme.

Extreme forest fire losses were evident in Ft McMuuray 2016, Lytton 2021 and now across the country in 2023.

The sooner we transition away and reduce fossil fuel emissions the better.

In the case of Alberta and Saskatchewan the difference in a net zero electricity grid is 2035 vs 2050. 15 years. But both provinces are committed to reducing emissions.

Mars is experiencing climate evolution also.

Great article in the National Post: “Bjorn Lomborg:Fear-mongering over forest fires and climate change isn’t rooted in reality.”
Of course someone like Chuck2 won’t read a common sense article like this because it doesn’t fit his narrative. Just like you will never find an article by Bjorn on the Communist Broadcasting Corporation(CBC) website. They push progressive fear mongering.

New Data Confirms: Forest Fires Are Getting Worse
August 17, 2022 By James MacCarthy, Sasha Tyukavina, Mikaela Weisse and Nancy Harris

New data on forest fires confirms what we’ve long feared: Forest fires are becoming more widespread, burning nearly twice as much tree cover today as they did 20 years ago.

Using data from a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland, we calculated that forest fires now result in 3 million more hectares of tree cover loss per year compared to 2001 — an area roughly the size of Belgium — and accounted for more than a quarter of all tree cover loss over the past 20 years.

"The extent of area burned by wildfires each year appears to have increased since the 1980s. According to National Interagency Fire Center data, of the 10 years with the largest acreage burned, all have occurred since 2004, including the peak year in 2015 (see Figure 2). This period coincides with many of the warmest years on record nationwide (see the U.S. and Global Temperature indicator). The largest increases have occurred during the spring and summer months (see Figure 6)."

huge fines and many years of jail time for arsonists would be a great first step , they are talking about gun control but a box of matches is far worse in the hands of a lunatic

Lightning starts the majority of forest fires by far.

So any suggestions that arson is the crux of the problem is silly.

[cropgrower]

so a fire started by arson is OK because another fire was started by lightning ? same stupid argument as the sicko trannys wanting to be around kids , thats OK because priests done something worse

Never said that arson was okay crap. LOL

You just keep going with the stupid ideas about forest fires, climate change and all trans people are predators? Agrisilly at its finest.

Heterosexual males are the vast majority of pedophiles and predators by far. So where is your outrage Crap?

back to the childish name calling again , and i have said many times my opinion on anybody that harms a child
