#Canada #Wildfire #WorldNews
Unfortunately, wildfires happen on both sides of the border. People who live in the pacific west coast on the Canadian side have been affected by wildfires from Washington state for years
Arson.
1. Arson wildfires are only a problem when conditions are extremely dry.
2. If you are over 5 years old, you know that we didn’t used to experience fires of the size and destructiveness we now have year after year.
3. It is arson. Exxon, the Russians, the Saudis and all of us who burn fossil fuels have set these fires. We’ve crossed a tipping point for our forests and we have made the Earth too hot for our forests to continue to exist.

Yeah I’m 62 and not like this!
Human use of fossil fuels have destroyed our jet streams that regulate weather. Climate Catastrophe will only escalate.
Grateful to all fire fighters. That is a horrible job.
Oh No, not again!! 😮😮😢
Again?
My prayers to all the Canadians who have to flee from the fires.
Yes thank you I live in British Columbia and it's terrible
Looks like another bad summer fire season shaping up for the North and Western US & Canada.
There has been drought conditions in Northern British Columbia, where Fort Nelson is. Stretches down past my hometown of Prince George. Going to be another busy fire season here. Nothing you can do with not much snow or rain.
no drought condition can ignite fire in 15-2O celsius.Only arsonists can.
Old, arson fires are only destructive if the conditions are right. If it had been typically wet and cool, no amount of arson would have worked. But fires also often start when someone drags a trailer chain or a slash pile burn gets away or whatever. The one thing we do know is that our burning of fossil fuels has made the Earth too hot for our forests
@@OIdiesCentraldrought conditions worsen them though. Also, many fires were from last year that kept burning under the snow during winter.
who started it?
The fort Nelson one was a fallen power pole from strong winds
@@Nemix648 a tree was blown onto the powerlines from strong wind
@@Nemix648 wind doesn't knock down power poles

The fossil fuel industry and fossil fuel activists are sabotaging climate action in Canada and the US - blame them!
Dear Midwest:
Take a standard box fan and tape a 20x20x4 merv 13 HEPA filter to the back

Why don't you show us WHERE these fires are? Or at least where the worst ones are. Yeah, you gave us a map with little dots on it but that doesn't tell us anything.
This is American News, they really don't care that much.
@@dianedenham5259 I hate inexact reporting. It's lazy.
But there's been NO lightning...?
These fires are flare ups from last years fires, they smoulder under the snow through the winter, when conditions are dry enough they burst out again.
How do a hundred fires just start .
All this satellite coverage
They could pinpoint the orgin
And find these people playing with matches
Evacuation is key
Anytime Smokey The Bear could do about this?
Again? West side this time? Sucks to live there. Poor choice.
There were wildfires in eastern Canada last year it’s everywhere now
@@thestayathomeworkingmama1982 not here in the rainforest, it's too wet
@@pohakumana4288 too wet today
yay, Americans know where Canada is
Ikr?! 😂
BBQ season again in Canada
You have fires in the USA look at California or anywhere else you also have hurricanes which are rare in Canada Tornados even Snow storms
There needs to be some kind of pre emptive plan when solar storms happen.
Wild fires started by Humans.
Yes and worsened by drought.
C(lie)mate Change arson again?
Stop spreading right wing disinformation and disrespecting firefighters! Canadian wildfire expert Mike Flannigan has been unequivocal, "the increase in area burned in Canada is a direct result of human caused climate change. 2023 was the hottest year in over 120,000 years - over 230,000 Canadians were evacuated in 12 of Canada's 13 provinces & territories.
Yep. Exactly.
Duck, yep! We arsonists are all setting our forests on fire by burning fossil fuels. Atmospheric physicists have been warning us about this since the 1960s and even earlier.
Arson yes but please provide source and proof of climate change activism.
Humans last stand against Mother Nature 🌬️.. 😂 😂 🤣 How arrogant do you have to be to think that you can win! 🙄
Canada has become one big nightmare
🛰🇨🇳👀
🤲⭕💫✨❤️
Good thing it’s just the environment Be sure to drive every where especially if you’re making a special effort to stalk or harass 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The wrath of God
Repentance is needed and holiness to wait Jesus Christ he is coming soon for the bride
And Jesus is going to be miffed at us for destroying God’s creation.
Karma
These are not wildfires, these are done with weapons. By who? I wish I knew.
🛰🇨🇳👀
Yup @@Hiatus-Humanus
Exxon, the Saudis, you, me, and everyone who produces and uses fossil fuels lit these fires. It used to be too wet and cool this time of year for wildfires to be started.
