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.
Its even worse thsn that, it is both still roaring, still 1000 fires, most out of control, and its twice the burn size of Australia 2020.
Australia, followed by California, were ALARMS, deafening and insistent.
We insist, build all the solar and wind energy systems now, ar speed. End gd coal. End carbon fuels.
Fires triggered by climate change threaten plant diversity in many biomes. Here the authors investigate how the catastrophic fires of 2019–2020 affected the vascular flora of SE Australia. They report that 816 species were highly impacted, including taxa of biogeographic and conservation interest.
@kevinrns the nature article only mentions NSW and Vic. There were also fires across the rest of the continent. And we look like more coming this spring/summer? Fed by 2 years of floods.
The end result is catastrophe. Stopping fossil fuels is but one step. Clearing land is another cause (Australia excels at this) together with making concrete and farting/belching cows.
There is so much to do, so little time to do it. Billionaires fiddle while the planet burns. 😥😥
It has nothing to do with billionaires, if there were a hurricane through New Jersey or Sydney, everyone would demand help delivered now, now now, if Japan struck Pearl Harbor, there would be no "billionaires this..:
Its us, we demand,
demand, the Alarms really are screaming, it is here.
