All the fires in Canada are the product of arson right now. Temperatures are seasonal norm as they have been for the passed 30 years. The ice cap and permafrost of the North has increased in area.

There is no climate crisis.

Canada burns like every other year.

We have a obscene amount of forest, the fires are usually just further north west si you guys don't end up getting blasted by it.

This year is honestly pretty tame.

The majority of the North American continent is basically a burn ecology; native plants are literally built to handle having fires sweep through every so often.

Only people who've never touched grass think otherwise.

If anything, we should be encouraging more fires to clean up the previous century worth of mismanagement fuckups.

This is why Commiefornia wildfires are as bad as they are. It's common knowledge at this point that controlled burns are an essential part of good forest management, but the left's climate change scam kept them from doing that over worries about carbon. So when they happened naturally they had an abnormally large amount of fuel, which is why they got so bad.

This is what annoyed me about the Australian fires the other year. No it’s nothing new, Australia is always on fire. In 74/75 (our fire seasons go across years cause souther hemisphere summer) a full 15-20% of the continent went up. But just cause this time it was over near Sydney and Melbourne and it was those soy’s first big fire season, suddenly the sky was falling and it’s cause climate change. Couldn’t possibly be the fact Australia is fire prone with flora and fauna that deliberately spread and enhance fires, a few wet tears followed by a dry one and forest mismanagement by shitty states. Gotta be globalwarming/climate change/climate catastrophe

i was talking to my grandma and my uncle who have both lived in this area for their whole lives and neither of them ever recall this smoke thing happening before this year.

surely these areas of canada have had fires before.

It's 100 degrees many/most summer days and I can cool my 2000sqft house just fine for a couple hundred bucks. I also pay less than $70 for water that is safe to drink and that bill includes hauling my trash away too.

Maybe this crazy needs to rethink if a politician who is more worried about forcing men to be allowed in the women's restroom instead of making sure utilities work properly and are well priced is the best one to support.

The entire article is basically a shining example of failed California policies that have decimated the state, which the media blames on… “global heating” at least they made a new buzzword

My utility bills for my apartment have gone down. I moved in 2 years ago, and now my summer bill is only a little more expensive than my winter bill when I don't run the heat. It's down 40% from 2 years ago...

The same government that can't fix a broken fucking road wants 6 gajillion dollars for fixing the environment?

How strange.

It's the government driving the cost up. Nothing else.

The grand irony is that cooling is far more energy efficient than heating. The us would use way less energy if everyone moved south or west.

but because the water is contaminated with pesticides from nearby agricultural fields, her family spends an additional $140 each month to purchase jugs of drinking water.

Get a reverse osmosis system then and you'll recoup the costs after <three months. Probably earlier with fewer grocery store runs.
