He is posting a lot about Direct Energy Weapons & "Jewish Space Lasers" causing the forest fires as part of a larger climate-change conspiracy...
With all the climate denial, anti-semitism, racism etc., I couldn't help but think of this scene from Austin Powers 🤣
I guess that's my twisted mind.

First pic: When your air quality is this…
Second pic: … and your outdoors looks like this…
Third pic: …your furnace filter looks like this (and boy do you go through A LOT of them if running air conditioning).
Skye is safe inside. 💜 I had to wear a mask just to water the garden and flowers outside today. 😔

The CBC Climate Dashboard has been updated to include active wildfires and wildfire smoke.
The red dots show places with record-breaking temperatures in the forecast.

The 2019 story linked in the post above also addresses some of the incorrect information you'd often see circulating on social media and in traditional media when it comes to Canada's forests being a carbon sink...
Including this article, which is from a columnist who would go on to become Alberta's premier.

Net emissions from Canada's managed forests: 1990 to 2020.
Due to fire, insects, and other disturbances, the forests haven't been a net carbon sink since 2001.

Wildfire season is off to an, um, early start this year (reposting with alt-text this time for the chart):

As I drove out of Calgary today the smoke was so thick but just west of the city it’s been so, so much better.
I spent a lot of time this afternoon just breathing the air and looking at the blue sky and appreciating it all.
Amazing how much you take clean air for granted until it’s gone.

Alberta Wildfire spokesperson Christie Tucker said there are currently 91 wildfires in Alberta's forest protection area, and 25 of those are out of control.
She also underlined just how severe this year's wildfire season has been, with 842,000 hectares burned so far.
"Last year, on this day, we [had] burned just 459 hectares. Not 459,000 — 459," Tucker said.

Yiiiiikes. @Legopolis just took the air quality tester outside, and the PM 2.5 here is over 400. 😱ðŸ˜ðŸ˜·

The smoke is unrelenting. Added two air purifiers to the house today. These are Instant branded (as in the Instant Pot).
The fan speed varies based on the PM2.5 µg/m3. Above 55 it is high fan. Problem is there is no hysteresis. High speed, medium speed, high speed multiple times per minute.
Driving me a tad crazy, but glad for something to cut the smoke. #AbFires

474 followers · 1669 posts · Server fosstodon.orgBit of a bummer of a long weekend (#maylong) in due to #ABfires pegging the AQHI at 11. Minimal time outside.
I'll try to get some #3dPrinting and #OpenSCAD time in, maybe work on shop setup.

Alberta has endured some of the worst air quality in the world this week, as wildfire swirls
