1/2 Hello World!
It's Finland calling!
Here, up in the North, you know, #Lapland, #ArcticCircle, reindeers, Santa Claus etc.
For the 3rd week, this is how the #weather is like in here. The #heat limit here is 25 °C.
Today yet another record was broken - it has been 19 days that the #temperature has been above 30 °C somewhere in #Finland. And tomorrow it'll be 20 since this map is for tomorrow afternoon.
Think #ClimateChange isn't real?
Well, think again.
Canada, like most of the world is drying out. Is drying out.
The trees, brush and soil are as dry as kindling. Every spark catches, every fire grows bigger.
The size of Canada's fires are hard to comprehend. Finland is proud of it's forests. Most forest in the world.
Finland has 👉 26 million Hectares of forest, and Finns would FIGHT to save them.
Canada has burned 👉 30 million hectares in 30 months 👈 👉 to the roots.
Earth Fire Alarms Are Ringing.
Deafening.
@kevinrns Yes, we've had pink sunsets all the way here for years during the Canadian forest fires.
About the forests in Finland, yes we have a lot. But sadly most of them are fields that will be turned into toilet paper. Only few % of our forests are natural forests. Like old forests with wide biodiversity range. ...and they want to make toilet paper out of them, too.
Its still burning massively.
More than five hundred fires, huge fires, some over 100,000 hectares, many with NO ONE to fight them. Hundred of fires with no one fighting them. Huge fires with no one fighting them.

Look at the purple, notice the sizes. Build carbon's replacement or we die together.
Its not - past tense. It is future disastrous.
It is very hard to understand scale.
Canada's wildfires in 2023 produced 40% of 2023's total CO2
Here is a map in scale of the actual amount of burned ash and soil.
Destruction. There is no there there.
To understand the scale of fire in Canada in 2023 alone, Imagine everything inside the black box is burned trees on bare soil. No house standing, no office.
@kevinrns To a completely different matter:
Way to go Canada! I just noticed that the Norwegian broadcasting company posted that Canada will recognize Palestine in September!

(Finland will not, because we sadly have a far right-conservative government with christian zionist in it. No matter, that most of the Finnish people would want that to happen.)
Thanks for the heads up.
Canada recognizes Russia, to put the "if conditions are met" into focus,Canada recognizes North Korea.
