    2 solutions:

    1. US resolution to accept global warming as real, with commitment to lower emissions on top of forest management resources in both countries (US wildfires occasionally annoy Canadians)

    2. US buys more Canadian Pine lumber.

    We have reached a global warming tipping point where forest fires are at such extreme levels for 3 years in a row now, that fires offset global natural carbon capture from trees, which is about 1/4 of human emissions. Some of the arson, has been motivated by climate disinformation as “attempts to prove global warming is false by arson”. Global warming’s impact on forest fires is not more ignition. It is faster/wider spread of fires.

    If everyone in Canada were employed as an “arson preventer”, they could patrol 10 hectares of forest each.

      The forest fire thing is a combination of stuff not just global warming. Our forests have evolved to burn down And we have been preventing it for decades. Now we have forests with tons of deadfall and drier conditions die to global warming. They are going to be bigger and hotter fires.

    So,how about trying to come up with solutions rather than loudly whining about everything?

    Hey congress. Remember how Canada and Mexico routinely send us help when our fires get really bad? Well?.. Do you not think we should return the very huge favor?

      Exactly what I was thinking! Instead of helping us, they are complaining about something that is not in control.

        Obviously it only makes sense to help Canada if it becomes a state. Half the reason they help with american fires is because they want to be a state so bad. /s

    We as humans have only ourselves to blame for these wildfires. We’re pushing this planet to it’s limits and it’s only going to keep getting worse.

      We have also mismanaged our forests. Northern boreal forests are supposed to burn. We have stopped that from happening. Through in global warming and e have a tinderbox just waiting to ignite.

    We have a plan to deal with this.

    Step #1 is to let one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses destroy itself in a civil war.

    Sure would help if they’d committed to Paris or any environmental standards.

    And they should deal with their own forest fires. Remember when we sent firefighters there just this year when Trump was going on about 51st state crap? I remember.

    Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

    Canadian firefighters were just in the US a few months ago while Drumphkins was flapping his lips about annexation.

    Fuck the regime!

    Mitigate your pollution which is increasing temperatures first, instead of doubling down on Big Oil.

    I’m so tired of the US as it currently stands. We need to build 400 nukes, then turn off ALL the supplies we send.

      Canada is lucky to get a chance to have America’s pollution because it’s the greatest pollution this world and maybe universe has ever seen.

        Username checks out. How is it you’re only 1 day old? Are there multiple Satansmaggotycumfarts? WTH?

        Anyway, Trump and repugnican quarterwit reichsführer can gargle nuts.
