People continually misrepresent forest fires. They think there's a "fire issue" because there's some forest fires right now.
Canada has massive forests. There is no "fire issue" because forest fires are normal in massive forests. It's not a change, it's how things are.
I'm presently at the site of a major forest fire quite a few years back. It was really bad, nothing left. Today, it's a boreal forest with a developing deciduous forest starting to take over. How? Well, forest fires are normal -- so normal that tree seeds have evolved over countless millennia to require forest fires. The seeds are activated by the fire, which left a nutrient rich ash behind, and the trees start to grow. Many of them shoot up incredibly quickly.
Some people think these fires were cased by arson. Could arson be the cause of this particular fire? Maybe. I don't know, I wasnt there. But it actually doesn't matter. If it didn't catch on fire today it would be tomorrow. Only people in cities who have never lived in nature think forest fires are unusual.
Forest fires are normal and part of the natural lifecycle of the forest, and acting like forest fires are some sort of unusual event or issue or indicator that anthropomorphic climate change is going to wipe out humanity tomorrow and we need to triple the climate tax again is just showing ignorance of nature.

@sj_zero You speak truth here. For the same reason, the same people misunderstand doing controlled burns. They think that no fires should happen whatsoever, so controlled burns should not happen either. But it is not a matter of if the forest will burn, but when.
Absent of human populations, we could just let it happen when it does. But because we do not want people and their homes burned down, controlled burns are the necessary prescription. But moronic environmentalists get in the way.
