I was trying to put the scale of the 2023 wildfires in Canada (169,836 km2) in context for a European friend, and discovered that the burned area is equal to almost exactly twice the size of Austria (83,871 km2).

When the state then wants to take the land, you start questioning if maybe the "conspiracionists" weren't so coo-coo after all.

If there is a will to give the people something, give them their homes. Not a memorial (AKA Steal-their-land)

Also maybe residents should plant yellow/blue flags to get some more aid?

- 'A Reckoning': 500 Groups Endorse March to End Fossil Fuels

> The march comes ahead of U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres’ Climate Ambition Summit and follows a summer of extreme weather that smothered the Northeast and Midwest in wildfire smoke, flooded the streets of Vermont’s state capital, devastated the town of Lahaina in Maui, and baked Phoenix under 31 days of more than 110°F heat.
