What is the connection between the Canadian Fires and climate change?

[healthmyths]

All the news channels are saying the hazardous air in the East coast is blamed on climate change.
HOW? Does climate change when 50% of the fires in Canada caused by people!
In a normal season, half of Canada's wildfires are started by lightning,
but those fires account for more than 85% of wildfire destruction.
The other half are human-caused.
In Quebec, for example, fires were sparked by lightning, but officials in Alberta have said that the cause of fires there is currently unknown

How did the 2023 Canadian wildfires start? A look at what caused the fires that are sending smoke across the U.S.

The first six weeks of Canada's 2023 wildfire season put it on track to be its most destructive in history.

So how did "Climate Change" cause the fires?

Wildfires are not caused by climate change, they are part of Earth's natural cycles and are increasingly started by humans either intentionally or accidentally.

None, poor forest management. We are no better in that regard than the Hosers.

"Climate change" is a knee jerk phrase used by mostly ignorant lefties to justify worldwide economic extortion. Forest fires have been around since dinosaurs and the smoke shields the sun and makes it cooler. Volcanoes emit toxic gas but you can't make a buck off a natural disaster so the effects are ignored.

 

[Moonglow]

Yes, we should be raking the forest floor according to a stable genius.

Warmer temperatures cause more rain which in turn causes more plant growth ... which then burns ... perfectly natural, this happens with the old climate, and the new climate isn't any different ...

That's the problem in The West ... our climate gives us a 3 month drought every summer ... guarantied ... this is less of a problem in Oregon because we don't let people build homes in wildfire prone forests ... stupids in Santa Barbara County build in the upland chaparral country, they deserve to burn ...

Prescribed burns ... during rainy season ... or just log the damn trees ... easy peasy ...

That certainly is a big possibility.

As I posted in another thread, in California they blame the climate change for Californias wildfire problem but the real problem is poor management which is why they have wildfire issues. It isn't "climate change" at all.

In California they shifted to dumping their funds into fighting fires instead of preventing fires.

When you aren't clearing brush, replanting trees less prone to burning, replanting trees that don't drop mass amounts of easily burning leaves, don't curtail like wood boring beetles that kill a lot of trees prematurely and do controlled burns you're guaranteed to have more frequent and larger wild fires.

Fire experts say mismanaged, choked forests need to be cleared out

“Forest management is a lot like gardening. You have to keep the forest open and thin," said Mike Rogers, a former Angeles National Forest supervisor.

What is the connection between the Canadian Fires and climate change?​

No connection. Fires are caused by a mixture of oxygen - fuel - and ignition (sparks, flames, lightning, etc.). That has been the cause of fire since it was first discovered eons ago.

Fires tend to be more prevalent during the summer months, when fauna dries out in the hot sun.

In my AO we had at least four of these towers that were manned either by the US or State of Virginia forest service personnel or volunteers. That's all gone now.

This one is they only one left (Woodstock Mountain) and it's just more of a tourist/hiker attraction as it's never manned.

Back in the day they provided crucial early warning of fires so that they could be brought quickly under control and not turn into the huge fires you see today.

There are still some around but nothing interconnected like back then......Generally speaking one tower can only look over about 12 miles effectively.

I 100% agree! The idiocy of the government by refusing logging companies to do all the things you wrote above in the name of
"nature conservation" prevents letting nature handle i.e. some controlled burning of underbrush, etc.
" For various types of forests and landscapes, fire is a positive force, rejuvenating grasses and soils and keeping vegetation in check. Ponderosa pine trees need regular fire to thrive, for example. But while frequent, low-intensity fire brings ecological benefits—something well understood by countless timber owners in the Southeast who carry out controlled burns annually—a landscape that hasn't seen fire regularly is much more likely to suffer a large and intense one once it finally comes. Decades of suppression have left many Western forests choked with dense stands of small-diameter trees, underbrush, and other growth. This has contributed to high fire risk in many places today and partially accounts for why wildfires in the West are getting worse over time.

When the Government Makes Wildfires Worse

Federal policies are subsidizing people's choices to build homes in harm's way.

These IDIOT environment whackos in government decided mother nature was wrong. They stamped out naturally occurring fires for decades and the dry forest debris piled up, it's feet thick on the forest floor out west. Now when mother nature starts a fire instead of a low intensity healthy cleansing the fire burns so hot it KILLS everything in it's path including the mature trees.

Government is DUMB!

So you don't think heat and moisture content is part of that equation?

PARTIALLY

Correlation is not causation.

There have never been wildfires in Canada before?

 

[SaxonJackson]

Three things are required for a fire whether you're in -33° temps or 102° temps:

Fuel / Oxygen / Ignition (heat source). That's it!!

Haven't you heard? Everything is caused by Climate Change. If a dog poops in your yard it is due to Climate Change. If Swiss cheese has too many holes in it, it is due to Climate Change. The recent airplane that crashed after entering DC airspace was due to Climate Change. And, all fires are due to Climate Change.

 

[SeaMajor7]

If it weren't for that cut-off low pressure system that has been sitting off Maine for DAYS we wouldn't even know Quebec was burning.

Gee and I thought ignition was affected by temp and moisture content.
