"The perception of #fire as a universal threat to society and #ecosystems has led to a widespread perception that fire should be suppressed at all costs, regardless of the type of fire. This misleading belief that fire is a controllable artefact, rather than a natural process intrinsic to ecosystem dynamics, has been enhanced by media misinformation and biased debates."

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this. @AltAltNPS needs to post these on Mastodon too (please?)! #AltNationalParkService #BlueSky #ForestFires #SmokeyTheBear

Canada, further north than California, in 2023, had more lost acreage than at any time in history to wildfires, Before The Fire Season Had Begun.

Fire season officially in Alberta has moved from June to year round.

Québec has year round fire seasons now.

Elon's crushing stupidity will be felt immdiatelty.

This is a national security issue and there's no national.

Warn your state governments LOUDLY.

Just got a press release on climate, leading with how tragic the #California forest #fires were, then saying it's part of a trend.

Then it mentioned recent fires in #Australia and #Canada and...that's it.

#ForestFires - and #climate disasters overall - only matter when they take place in the global north.

#Climatechange increased the likelihood of #wildfire disaster in highly exposed #LosAngeles area

Starting on January 7 2025 two large wildfires (the Palisades and Eaton wildfires) erupted in Los Angeles, #California- The fires spread extremely quickly over the following week and are among the most destructive of human property in Southern California’s history. #CaliforniaWildFires #forestfires #globalchange

Much of the material used to make paper towels comes from Canadian boreal #forests.
Consider switching to cloth - cloth rags do a better job of mopping up spills, etc.

The same resources probably go into toilet paper too -- and there are reusable cloth pee-wipe alternatives for this that can #reduce overall use of TP.

Another day of smoke from the forest fires - this being the Albertan fires, 100's of km away. The amount of smokey days is an order of magnitude more than anything I've experienced since I've moved here in 2007.
