@Mitch202011 @adamscochran You did not. You posted a cap but not a link, presenting it as evidence against climate change when the tiniest interrogation reveals it does the opposite. You've done it on a dozen other climate-related posts, with basically the same trash caption. If you're not a bot? Grow up

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran And you seem and act like a bot. Which you still haven't denied.

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran The OP is literally commenting on Canadian wildfires and their genesis. He's not cherry-picking and neither am I, so either you as a human aren't equipped to understand this conversation or you as a bot don't have the programming to have a rational debate

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran You're wrong in general but also just terrible at understanding the OP was referring to boreal forests specifically and the only regions that have fewer fires are African savannahs.
"Reinforce your existing beliefs"??? 🤣 pot kettle black, bot.

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran Hahahaha literally what you did when you posted "Global wildfires are down" without context.

Nice try bot

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran Your brain is truly broken. Or you're engaging in bad faith. Or you're a bot. There's less land to burn because it's been developed for agriculture, therefore less vulnerable to wildfires. Ag Dev adds to climate change.

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran Jk, I know reading comprehension isn't your superpower

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran This is from the same website you capped from. So surely not "lying to get funding" like your Facebook research tells you. Show me you can read.

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran You sure the period should be outside the quotation marks there, bud? Sad attempt to seem smart after failing so hard.

Climate change.

Canada’s boreal forest is far north.

Most parts of it only reach 64F (18C) averages in the heat of the summer.

Its density and climate also means it gets very little evaporation compared to its rainfall, and is subject to frost 9 months of the year, and heavy fog the rest of the time.

This kept this biome very humid, kept soil damp, and left most of the low level foliage coated in dew all day long.

Some parts of the forest even had thick levels of permafrost beneath the topsoil that on rare hot days would seep water back into the ecosystem.

Just as many wildfires started by lightning strike in previous decades as now.

The difference is they struggled to catch and spread in this damp environment.

Now extreme dry weather, record breaking heat, northern thaw, erode that protective moisture barrier, leaving the boreal forest vulnerable especially in the more southern parts.

Boreal forests previously went through this process naturally when an over density caused a drier environment you’d get high-intensity crown fires that were cyclical. Every 50-200 years depending on region.

Now we get them annually.

Boreal forest fires are much more severe than others too. The long history of cyclical burns means the soil contains charcoal, the thick multi-layer foliage adds fodder and causes the fire to spread quickly, and pine, spruce, and aspens are all some of the trees with both the most density and the best for wood burning.

It results in towering forest fires of immense heat and rapid spread.

These forests are denser than anything else in North America or Europe, and the current fire in Ontario alone, is the same square mileage as the entire state of Delaware.

From the time it ignited, to covering that size, took less than 20 hours.

While some in the US still think climate change is a hoax, we are all going to deal with the consequences of it, as we’ve turned the largest forest in the world into a tinder box, and fires in less than 0.01% of it drowns the entire continent in smoke.

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran Cool cool so all evidence contrary to your misinformed stance is "lying" and the vague screenshot you posted is irrefutable evidence. Truly compelling argument

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran Nah, just shows your lack of attention to detail

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran And obviously it's possible (ie, you) but it's nearly physically impossible for some to be that stupid

@aakashgupta Odysseus was cursed by Poseidon after mocking the maimed Polyphemus. His own men begged him to stop but he defied their pleas to satisfy his ego. He is the reason no one else survives.

@TheCinesthetic Simply incredible scene transitions too. Next level stuff

[RhymesWithAwesome @rhymesawesome]

@Mitch202011 @adamscochran North American wildfires are trending up. Global downtrends are due to fewer acres of African savannah burning because they've been developed by humans.

Keep the word facts out your mouth if you don't know what it means
