at more than 3.7 million hectares (9.2 million acres), which exceeds 2014 and is now the highest annual area burned in the NWT since 1980. #Arctic #CanadaFires @evaholland @McYukon @cabinradio

The Air Quality Index (AQI) has risen to 107 here in northern Wyoming today. I think we're getting some of the smoke from the wildfires burning in western Canada.

For me it usually means a headache and an increase in coughing for the entire household.

I'm kind of wishing more world leaders would've paid attention to those "Earth-day" presentations back in the 1970s.

"How will you as both president of the United States and leader of the Republican Party calm their fears that the Republican Party doesn't care about climate change?" Diaz asked…
"The climate change agenda is a hoax," said former tech and finance executive Vivek Ramaswamy, in the night's clearest answer. Former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley acknowledged climate change is real but downplayed American responsibility, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sidestepped the question altogether. Many candidates did not answer.

Best friend is in a very dangerous area of BC with a fire close. He’s in the mountains about a half hour drive from Penticton. His truck is packed to evacuate and waiting for an order to go. There are currently 366 fires in BC and it’s 4th day extreme heat. Graphic from BC government show he’s in red area of extreme danger. Wow. #BCFires #BritishColumbia #CanadaFires

The intensity of the 2023 #CanadaFires have generated record levels of #carbon #emissions, with significant long-range transport of smoke during June impacting both the northeastern USA & crossing the Atlantic to reach Europe.

Canada started this year with 362 million hectares of forest, of which over 3% has burned.

So far.

A lifetime wouldn't be enough for me to meaningfully explore that much forest.
