Canada Wildfires: Biden blames climate change, offers help to Canada
2023-06-10
[An Nahar] President Joe The Big Guy Biden

has called the smoke from Canadian wildfires in the eastern U.S. "another stark reminder of the impacts of climate change" and said cabinet officials are monitoring the impact on travel and air quality.

More than 600 firefighters and other personnel from the U.S. have been deployed to Canada to respond to the wildfires there, Biden said in a statement Thursday, adding that he offered additional help to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Jeffrey Rupert, director of the Office of Wildland Fire for the Interior Department, told a Senate hearing that the U.S. and Canada have long shared firefighting resources, and that Canada has supported the U.S. "during really difficult times."

The U.S. Forest Service has more than 200 people on the ground in Canada, said John Winn, an agency front man. An additional 170 personnel from other agencies are also deployed, he said. Since the start of the crisis, 648 wildland fire personnel have mobilized, he said, but around half have finished their assignments and returned home.

#15  OK, I'm finally convinced climate change is real. Since we have never, ever had forest fires before, this one must have been caused by climate change. I'm a believer!

#14  Smoke Map as of June 8. Note the large number of fire in Mexico, NW Canada, and Florida. Seems the worst of the smoke was drawn to the East Coast and D.C.

#12  It is likely not much different than a partly cloudy day, except this is dramatic, which presents an excellent opportunity to point out that basing your entire electrical needs on solar "green energy" won't keep those expensive groceries in their fridge cold.

Up their drama. Yesterday's South Africa video is outstanding Intro to Prolonged Energy Rationing, which is what load sharing means and what they have planned for your Summer. If you have your N95 on and still smell smoke, it was useless with Covid. How many firefighters fewer is Canada because of vax mandates?

#11  Maybe efficiency is the right word; They are drawing less than half of their potential due to smoke obscuring the sun.

Maybe they'll issue N95 masks again.
