Oh don’t worry, it’s coming for you red-staters too

One of the first symptoms of a ‘conservative’ infection is a sudden lack of empathy.

“Forrest” is doubtful that the same climate scientists who were able to describe those changes occurring hundreds of millions of years ago through the archaeological record and other ingenious means are somehow incapable of tracking what is happening in front of our faces in the present day

I'm not a denier KF, but why is Canada's left coast seemingly immune to these wild fires?

Or have I just been misinformed by the liberal media?

They’re not immune but they are less populated.

As of September 9, Canada has had 3,621 fires and a total of about 235,124 hectares burned. Overall, theses values are lower than the national 5-, 10-, and 15-year averages. Canada’s 10-year average is 5,639 fires and 2,864,437 ha burned.

This has been a relatively quiet fire year on a national level, with many jurisdictions proactively enacting fire bans and wide scale restrictions early in the spring due to COVID-19 measures. The national preparedness level did not reach level 4 or 5 this year, unlike 2017 and 2018 where a large portion of the summer was spent at preparedness level 5.

Regionally, Quebec experienced one of its most active fire seasons in a decade, seeing 674 fires and a total area of 68,768 total hectares (ha) burned; Quebec’s 10 year average is 461 fires and 235,767 ha. Other regions also saw periods of active fire, although total numbers of fires and area burned in most regions were well below their respective 10-year averages. Saskatchewan and Manitoba saw fires of over 25,000 ha in early spring. Southeast British Columbia is continuing to see active wildland fire.

Are you talking about this?

Looks like the data stops at Canada because... that’s just where the data stops.

Liberal media misinformation, or...?

Why are you sending me to an article with a photo of the space needle?

It doesn't matter. I'm perfectly willing to believe that right leaning media will mislead on this subject. But when I also see the same information in mainstream (aka left leaning) media, I just have to wonder. I'd like to think I'm good at noticing the obvious.

It makes sense that Canada has its own fire mapping system. But the article also says there are fires burning in British Columbia, just north of the western U.S. That doesn't sound like much of a continuation of what we're suffering. I suppose I'm willing to buy into the quote from the forestry professor about "cooler and wetter conditions in that part of Canada this summer", since that person surely is a reliable source. But I still have to scratch my head about why I'm seeing some of the same things in left and right media. I guess just like the planets aligning, something like this is possible, no matter how improbable it seems..

If you don’t trust scientists

If you don’t trust the government

If you don’t trust the media

Will you trust insurance companies?

The corporations paying out cold, hard cash on all these fire claims?

Take a look at what they are saying about all this and how they’re revising their projections and trying to pull coverage yet in many cases are being forced by legislatures to provide it anyway
