And the climate change deniers will ignore this and try and pin the cause of fires on arson
It seems kinda precedented at this point.
Yeah 30 degrees and no rain will do that……
it’s middle of summer, forests burn. should comes as a surprise to absolutely no one.
Crazy how BC and Alberta are having wildly different summers. Edmonton and area might as well collect all rain water and send it to BC
Every summer has been unprecedented for as long as I can remember now.
Maybe we can start focusing on sustainability and reducing populations…
All the additional rain this summer did nothing meaningful it seems.
Do you think it had anything to do with spraying glyphosate in our forests???
Anderson mt and burns mt in wells are bombs ready to go off if we have lightning. They need to be brushed out as soon as possible.
How does it get unprecedented without someone doing some forestry management?
They always say that
Yawn
What was causing the fires the previously few years? The total precipitation was pretty much the same as the last couple decades.
There is actually less fires now than 40 years ago.
It wasn’t that many years ago that places in the B.C. interior like Kelowna and Kamloops were a retirement Mecca for Canadians.
Considering how climate patterns have changed and knowing that any given summer my whole community could get destroyed by wildfires, you couldn’t pay me enough to live there now.
That is called arson in the United States fyi
It’s a year that seems very similar to 2003, but these fires, at least in the Okanagan, have been more aggressive about a month earlier than we saw in 2003.
