      It’s been 22 years since Canada’s boreal forest has been a carbon sink (due to various gov’ts forest management failures and the impacts of climate change) and we are well past the point of being able to fix this. :/

    We need more funding and action to prevent this for sure. Climate change isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so this will become more and more the norm.

    I’m going camping this weekend and it’s gonna suck not being able to have a fire.

      If we act now, you’ll be able to have that fire in 20 years. But we’re not doing it for our campfires. We’re doing it because we know old people go hungry first and I want there to be enough food by the time I’m old so I still get some.

    I guess “worst wildfire season in 23 years” doesn’t have the same ring to it?
