Some have seen reports, "number of fires is decreasing." As if that meant it wasn't getting worse.
The fires are BIGGER, more than TEN TIMES bigger, because the forest isnt damp and little go out, the forest is kindling and little grow and join up.
Because carbon fuels are injecting CO2 into the air, warming the forests, drying them out.

This is for all humans making decisions and choices no matter the country or wealth.
But I am standing next to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, and I am shouting, because Canada is irresponsibly responsible for billions of toms of CO2, and is spending billions to sell more OIL faster.
STOP!
Build Oils replacements, end the SELLING OF OIL by BUILDING ITS REPLACEMENT.
Demand windmills, demand solar cells, Insist.
NOW!
It isn't a tragedy, its an assault.
"Its ok, we can warm the globe, its fine, we will continue to sell and burn billions of tons of oil."
Its NOT OK, it is damage and death, it is fire and storm, it is death by heat of the day.
It is crushed economies and outrageous costs, and it must stop.
Carbon coal and oil and gas must be REPLACED AT SPEED, or we dont make it.
Demand windmills, demand solar cells, Insist.
NOW!
Email this friends, print it up, laminate it, maybe put a hole and ring in top corner for subsequent advice. Make copies for your neighbours, maybe post it on nearby streets.
The fires aren't going away. Canada has burned an area bigger than the size of Ireland, but Canada has hundreds of millions of hectares of forest. These fires could last 30 years. Until all the trees are gone,
Bevause climate has dried the forests down into the soil. Dry as kindling.
Heat. The world is hot. The interior of continents are drying out. Lakes shrinking, rivers growing shallow, undergrowth and soil dry as kindling, German government worries Europe's forests will die even if they dont burn.
This fire started in spring, when ground in all previous years would be too wet to burn long. It has not slowed since it started, because the forests are so dry they burn easily, because climate change has dried the forests into kindling.

Pre answer, warning answer before the answer. We Don't Know, This Has Never Happened Before
Real answer, it will get worse, everywhere.
Excess heat means on oceans, ice melts, water warms, sea rises.
On continents, lakes shrink, rivers run dry, vegetation grows drier. Kindling burns on a spark.
Australian fires, California fires, heat domes.
Canada has burned less than a percent of its forest so far.

Your love was #kindling to my inner flame as my love was for yours.
Now, that you have closed yourself off, it seems difficult to maintain the same bright light inside of me.
But how difficult must it be for you after turning off your own light?
