    Sure would help if they’d committed to Paris or any environmental standards.

    And they should deal with their own forest fires. Remember when we sent firefighters there just this year when Trump was going on about 51st state crap? I remember.

    Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

      Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

        I agree with most people here, lets fix climate change instead of doing controlled burns and forest management. Wildfires arent a natural part of the ecosystem, and before big oil began supplying my SUV and my flights to Tofino with energy they never occurred.

          We as humans have only ourselves to blame for these wildfires. We’re pushing this planet to it’s limits and it’s only going to keep getting worse.

                Hey congress. Remember how Canada and Mexico routinely send us help when our fires get really bad? Well?.. Do you not think we should return the very huge favor?

                  We have a plan to deal with this.

                  Step #1 is to let one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses destroy itself in a civil war.

                    Canada is lucky to get a chance to have America’s pollution because it’s the greatest pollution this world and maybe universe has ever seen.

                              Obviously it only makes sense to help Canada if it becomes a state. Half the reason they help with american fires is because they want to be a state so bad. /s

                                    2 solutions:

                                    1. US resolution to accept global warming as real, with commitment to lower emissions on top of forest management resources in both countries (US wildfires occasionally annoy Canadians)

                                    2. US buys more Canadian Pine lumber.

                                    We have reached a global warming tipping point where forest fires are at such extreme levels for 3 years in a row now, that fires offset global natural carbon capture from trees, which is about 1/4 of human emissions. Some of the arson, has been motivated by climate disinformation as “attempts to prove global warming is false by arson”. Global warming’s impact on forest fires is not more ignition. It is faster/wider spread of fires.

                                    If everyone in Canada were employed as an “arson preventer”, they could patrol 10 hectares of forest each.
