Seeing these photos, watching the videos, you really start to understand how terrible climate change has become and still how much worse it will get if we don't transition faster.
All these natural disasters are really starting to effect us all. We need to act swiftly. Carbon energy must end.
- mertd 10y agoWhy do you think this particular wildfire is due to climate change?
- mikegioia 10y agoThe ground is warmer (and therefore drier) now in May, and this is especially so in the Boreal Forest of Canada where temps. have been rising much faster than they have in the mid latitudes. This year the fire season started very early, and temperatures in the region have been at record levels for days, with some areas reaching above 30 C.

I think this has a lot to do with climate change. If the average temperatures are warmer and the air/ground is drier, it can increase the likelihood, frequency, and severity of wildfires. Colorado and California have been/will be going through the same thing.
