Living in BC, I know what it’s like to have the threat of forest fires. Even when the fires are far away, the sky still gets choked with smoke that burns your eyes and is hard to breathe. “Living with the smoke” has become a yearly reality here now, nearly every summer.

There are solutions, but we need to act now. Specifically, governments need to quit offering the *wrong* incentives (fossil fuel subsidies) and start offering the right ones (help businesses and families decarbonize transportation, homes, and manufacturing).pic.twitter.com/0efdE5p5Vp

This was Edmonton in 2019 and 2018 and this lasted weeks! This was fires in British Columbia, and then Fort McMurray that received tones of donations to help families ( AFAIK received no attention as to why the fires were so bad ).pic.twitter.com/5Q2p8iKTuY

As a kid, I can remember a few fires. But the past 4-5 years it seems like it is every single summer!

Yes! It's awful on so many levels. The smoke. The damage. And the risk for firefighters.

Whenever there's a big fire, more often than not somebody lit it. I come from Greece where there's wildfires every summer. The hot and dry climate sure 'helps' but it's mostly people that light them (to clear the forests and build in their place, since that's not forbidden) 1/

I'm not saying climate change isn't an issue. It definitely is and some fires do indeed start spontaneously, but rarely on such scale. Perhaps the fires in Australia really were a terrible product of climate change, but IMO it's more likely they were lit by people

This isn’t a “far away” problem.
Because of climate change, these are the kind of fires we’re going to be getting everywhere (especially in the Pacific NW).
It’s apocalyptic.
