The spring of 1950 saw drought conditions develop in the boreal regions of northern Canada, especially in the watershed of the Chinchaga River.[SUP][4][/SUP] The region has a mix of black spruce, lodgepole pine and deciduous forests, giving way to muskeg in lower areas.
I skimmed that. What a mistake, now I'm vibrating angry.
Has that fawking dolt ever heard of the Great Fire of 1919, also known and the Chinchaga fire?
Sounds kind of familiar eh? Weird that a dry and hot spring back then was just a dry and hot spring and now days it's 100% climate change. (Now, I do believe that the planet is heating up, and that all citizens of the planet need to take heed, but I don't for a hot second think Canada is the problem. We're probably a carbon sink, because of our extensive forests)
Anyways, that fire burned between 3.5 and 4.2 million acres of forest. Boreal forest, remember. The forest that, and I quote, " has been through many cycles of natural death through fire, insect outbreaks and disease, followed by regeneration. Prior to European colonization of Canada and the application of modern firefighting equipment and techniques, the natural burn/regeneration cycle was less than 75 to 100 years, and it still is in many areas" (source)
It's a life cycle, it's natural for the forest to burn to regenerate. IT'S BEEN PROVEN. Why are people so quick to jump all over fossil fuels and climate change?
I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet, so I better stop before I call him a complete waste of groceries.
every morning I watch the Global news and if there has been a temp record broken they will announce it. Many of the temps that are being broken are from the earlier 20th century well before this so called global warming caused by humans. So, I often wonder what were the excuses used back then other than holy crap its hot outside!
I agree.....unfortunately I doubt it will be widely distributed. But definitely makes ya want to burn some gas.Oh man that was a long read but totally worth it !!!
Evryone read it ... NOW !!!
