Great quality posting standards, good job
Trump should put 100% import tariff on wildfire smoke.
I only breathe smoke from domestic wild fires and AI data centers.
I mean, careful what you wish for: legislators could troll Trump by drafting bills that use the same language to go after his agencies that have screwed up air quality, water quality, etc.
Maybe they should worry about their fires
Canada has routinely sent folks to help fight American forest fires. Because that is who we are.
Those of us in the Pacific Northwest will never forget the kind help of our neighbors to the north. Trump is a piece of shit, but we remember here.
The PNW has Canada vibes too; they should just annex us, we’re chill with it.
We also recently lost one in a Colorado fire
So this is where he gets cancer and croaks? Cuz I’ve probably have my cancer and probably will croak. Hopefully after him. I don’t want to miss it when he does. C’mon pretzel! 🥜 Peanut! Get in there!
As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.
Make it make sense, challenge level impossible
Simple. These wildfires are exacerbated by climate change. American consumerism fuels climate change. By increasing taxes on Americans, he’s reducing future wildfires.
Shit, it is real. peak idiocracy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Quick, divert ICE to dealing with that invasion instead.
If you throw enough ICE into a fire, the fire WILL go out.
The ONLY reason he is aware of this is because the air in DC sucks.
But he is in Florida, how would he know?
Hope it kills him faster
I don’t know about you, but the “filthy” air invading my home is caused by the 70,000 acres of forest burning my own state…
****This is what can happen if you do not properly manage the fire burden of forests by allowing fire to consume the dead trees and ground cover. But god forbid the tourists from big cities see a section of burned forests! They tend to get all riled up.
This is why we wrap tourists in kindling and give them tiki torches before we send them off into the forest in my state.
The problem with that is the tourists never start the fires where you want them.
I want off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride.
It would probably be good if the governments of North America could come together and discuss how to more responsibly and sustainably manage their forests. Beyond increasing temperatures caused by climate change, the recent intensity of summer fires on this continent are also driven by the fact that we no longer do controlled burns of forest lands evolved to regularly burn, leading to accumulated dry underbrush. We treat our managed forests like farms, monocropping species onto dry hills that are better adapted for wetter, more diverse ravines. We woefully underfund the departments tasked with doing these things. As bad as climate change is, these summer fires could be way more mild if only we could hold our governing bodies to be more responsible. But I guess that’s where the climate change ultimately came from, too.
There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.
Canada’s fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).
Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).
BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.
We got more than a million square miles of forest in Canada. We’d have to employ a significant portion of the population to do the things oil companies keep claiming we’re supposed to be doing. We’ve never had to do these things before.
We have been measuring how dry the forests are for a long time now. We know why the forests are burning. They’re dried out because of climate change. We know climate change is caused by global warming. We know global warming is caused be increased carbon dioxide in the air. We know burning fossil fuels puts more carbon dioxide into the air. All of these things have been measured, we know the cause.
If the oil companies think paying people to rake the forests, clear the brush or whatever will help, then maybe they should pay people to do these things?
C’mon, catch all the molecules!
I don’t want to sound rude, but all those particles are Canadian, illegal, undocumented and, get this… brown and yellow and red! And they’re here to kill us, bringing Cancer to our region. The worst part is they’ll just land anywhere they want, stick around and nobody does anything!
It’s almost as if we should do something about them …sequester them in a large box? Capture them anywhere they go into our country?
Do you know they land on your sister? Not just her harms and legs but inside her blouse! Down her undies! Oh my! Everyone’s sisters! We gotta do something!
There’s no smoke without tariffs
Build a wall, idiot.
He’s going to let wind farms poop up, so they can blow the smoke back… or tell’em to rake up the leaves.
Canada must pay for the wall and it must be tall enough to block smog!
And deep enough to block, I don’t know, knives. And quarries.
