Canadian Climate Wildfire Catastrophe 🇨🇦 🔥

None of these numbers is a good number.

Past fire season crises ended by September.

More 'Out of Control' fires than last three weeks, still robustly over 1,000 fires, now officially over 16 million hectares burned, still appalling lack of resources to fight the fires with.

The big red Five badge is
1. Extreme danger
2. terrible fire levels
3. bad fires still coming
4. Low resources
5. Low resources for member agencies

Canadian Climate Wildfire Catastrophic Alarm 🇨🇦 🔥 🚨

How big is 16 million hectares? Get out a map of your area, no a bigger one.

Find the scale on one edge, little ruler with 100 200 etc

Draw a box on the map 400 kilometers long, and 400 kilometers tall, here are two.

@kevinrns wow that's big! I think there is a problem with the second alt text, it says Europe but it's Canada

@jollysea

Thank you, I copy pasted most of the alt, Ill go fix it.

I am really bad at this, but I have no choice but to try, the ALARMS ring loud enough to deafen Quasimodo. Wake the dead.
