Ontario Fire Drop, New Brunswick Blazes Force Home Evacuations - Karmactive

Northwestern Ontario sees wildfire activity slow to just one new fire while New Brunswick battles rapidly expanding 340-hectare Miramichi blaze that jumped Highway 8 forcing home evacuations.

The smell of woodsmoke is not coming home with me on my clothes since a campfire wasn't in the cards this time but you can smell it across vast swathes of the country regardless. Hey filter, how bad is it here? The answer is fourty-two. #Toronto #CanadaFires #CanadaFireSmoke #ClimateChange

Ça ne rend pas bien en photo mais le bleu du ciel est bien pâlichon sur Rennes aujourd'hui.

La cause ? La fumée des gigantesques incendies canadiens qui nous tombe dessus.

More on Bananas from North Atlantic in 2023, here by #MattEngland, Stefan #Rahmstorf et al
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08903-5

They also wrote prose on the Conversation https://theconversation.com/unprecedented-heat-in-the-north-atlantic-ocean-kickstarted-europes-hellish-2023-summer-now-we-know-what-caused-it-258061

Low surface wind speed led to shallower-than-normal ocean mixing which enabled heating the surface more.
Less clouds from shipping SO2 were only marginally responsible and only in small pockets.

Okay. But where did the wind go?
Surface wind is impacted by jetstream. And I think, the jetstream got diverted in June and July 2023 to Northern Greenland. Due to low spring snow cover in Eastern Canada which led to dry soil – which in turn gets hotter than wet soil.
And according to
"Summer atmospheric circulation over Greenland in response to Arctic amplification and diminished spring snow cover over Canada" by
Preece et al 2023
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39466-6
that hot soil in Eastern Canada leads to a High over Greenland – and a low over the #ColdBlob
East Canada was ablaze in June July 2023 suggesting dry and hence hot soil =perfect conditions for a North Greenland High, diverting the jetstream.

Gut, dass der Spiegel auf CO2-Emissionen bei den #CanadaFires eingeht https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/kanada-satellitenbilder-zeigen-das-ausmass-der-waldbraende-a-51c29dfe-273c-43e2-af25-3791bb94a8ea

Aber was unbedingt noch fehlt:

Bei den consumption-based CO2 Emissionen seit 1990 hat Kanada nicht nur gar nix gegen die Klimakatastrophe unternommen – die Emissionen sind in 2022 sogar noch höher als in 1990!
https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/co2?country=~CAN&Gas+or+Warming=CO%E2%82%82&Accounting=Consumption-based&Fuel+or+Land+Use+Change=All+fossil+emissions&Count=Per+country

Ich finde, bei solchen Ereignissen müssen Bürger darauf hingewiesen werden.
Gilt auch für Schweizer und das begrabene #Blatten . Hier ist CO2 per capita consumption-based höher als 1990. Liegt übrigens mittlerweile sogar höher als der Kanadische pro Kopf Verbrauch...

The Draconim series—urban fantasy rooted in youth activism and the environment—sat on my hard drive for years.
When Feeding the Fires came out last year, I didn’t expect wildfires would soon threaten much of Canada. But here we are.
Yes, fire is natural—but we're making it worse. We’re reacting now, as we must. But at some point, we need to be proactive.
