ONE of every 24 hectares of Canadian forest has burned this year (4.2%)!🔥
Finally read through William Rees' provocative article about how global population and economic collapse is inevitable. Here are my thoughts:

"The global economy will inevitably contract and humanity will suffer a major population ‘correction’ in this century." Or will it?
An informal review of Will Rees' Recent Article in the journal "World"
2023 is looking more and more likely to be a record warm year, and thanks to El Niño, 2024 may be even warmer. But one slightly reassuring fact: Over the last 160 years we have never seen three consecutive record warm years. The longest run is 2 record warm years in a row. I let that be my darkly optimistic thought about 2023 insanity🙃
Just staggering! If Canada’s 2023 wildfire evacuees were together in one place it would rank as the country’s 19th largest population centre 👀
195,745 evacuees!
A whole different kind of climate migration 👀
The total amount of wood volume in Canada’s forest area has declined by 7% since 1990.
So far in 2023 more than 2.4% of Canada’s forests have burned. Already twice as much as 2021.
So many insane weather events recently that I feel like there was almost no media coverage of the oil platform that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico the other day🤷🏻♂️
