Canada showing it's true face. Incapable of controlling virtually anything.

These fires should have been brought under control long ago.

Such ineptitude.

Of course if you were running the fire brigades covering millions of hectares of wilderness, the multiple fires would be extinguished within a day or two. SMH.

There is nothing to see here. The long term average in both the number of wildfires and hectares burned annually in Canada continue the long term downward trend. There is actually an inverse relationship between the consumption of oil and gas and the number of forest fires.

One spring does not make a robin and one bad year does not mean there is any link to the "climate crisis."

You can write this down and come back at me 1 year from now, in 2024 and 2025 the number of forest fires and hectares burned in Canada will be extremely low.

@Strangerland Okay, here ya go; right from the GOC. It only goes back to 1980 but there is plenty of data that goes back further; a continued long slow decrease.

Summarize the points from that link that support your argument, or it didn't happen.

It seems as though Canada, as is the rest of the globe, is warming though.
