Surprise Surprise.......MORE Canadian Wildfires for 2024........Just in time for summer!

[Krull]

This is a thread about wildfires. Newly prevalent wildfires. I said that they were a result of climate change

"..and to the people of Canada, our great neighbors to our south.. Make no mistake...this smoke will not stand. Together with the top smokeologists of our time, we plan to formulate a plot to forget everything."

I think if people worried about treated wastewater re-entering streams, then they are not treating it properly. But that is where the rules and regs come in handy. I’ve gotten fined for literal micrograms of toluene in the ground water. I work places that can’t use any pvc piping because traces of the glue will come up testing. There are ways to “clean up our act” so to speak besides electric cars and paper straws and other BS that get all the headlines.

But there are tons of photos like this from around the world. It clearly shows how quickly we could change some things if we came up with the correct measures to do so.

You know this shit is seasonal/time dependent...don't you?
Here is a picture from Sept 2020

You are saying you live there, and that last summer was not quite abnormally rainy and cold all through late July?

Not "abnormal" enough that anything sticks out. I do remember having a draught during our generally wet spring, though. I also remember this is our first winter in recorded history we didn't go below -20C and spring runoff was pretty much not a thing because of it, and an abnormally small snowfall.

I am pretty curious what this has to do with wildfires on the extreme far end of the north west where draught has been a serious thing for the last 3-5 years, though.

You don't remember any flooding in the NE?

 

[Al Chapo]

Yes, I do remember the roughly 2 days of flooding because of flashfloods in middle July and late August. That happens routinely. I was working on a dam on the Ottawa River at the time. We didn't have either seasonal runoff though, which is the seasonal flooding I was talking about.

Not really seeing what you're getting at here? It sure looks like the part of canada in draught is the part burning.

Fun fact. The average global temperature last year was 52.2
The average in 1875 was 52.5
The average in 1921 was 54.4

I said it was strange there are all these forest fires in an area of North East Canada during an abnormally rainy and cold summer (to the point the sky was continually hazy for most of the summer). The rainfall in the North East last summer was 2x that of average. You are saying flooding is normal and seasonal which is horseshit. Flooding in the North East of North America occurs when the ground becomes saturated with continual rainfall to the point it can't take in any more water (or a massive dumping from something like a hurricane), that's a different mechanism to what happens say in the South (generally strong storms) or Western areas of North America (ground is impervious to rain). The sort of flooding that happened last year was from the ground being continually rained on to saturation.

Man I wish you could sell me home insurance. What would I know dealing with my flooded neighbourhood pretty well every April-May and working on the hydro dams the majority of the May and November runoffs pass through. You've argued me into submission, good sir.

... still seeing about 95% of the fires like 4000 NW of here. ?‍

that's why I also included satellite images.

when you say "global temperature" what are you referring to?

Do you think satellite images stay the same...?

 

[Floyd Eye]

when you say "global temperature" what are you referring to?

Exactly what it says. Average global temperature. As in the number the experts all say is increasing. And before you attempt to impeach my data, I got it from government dot org

But temperature of what? The ocean? The air at sea level? The atmosphere. What “global” temp are you referring to?

 

[Dan Gleesak]

Do you think satellite images stay the same...?

Well the image I posted was labeled NO2 density, so I would say they change with the density of NO2. That has nothing to do with a hazy day.
There is plenty more from all over the world, during the same time period, showing the same thing. Probably just a coincidence though

Doesn't look cooler to me. This has a .gov too. It's just going up,

It’s also the part of Canada that got so little snow this winter that the fires from last year didn’t even go out.
Sure it’s just a coincidence
