It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

True, it's not anything new. It's even said as much in the video.
The climate has been changing for a while now.
What IS new, is fires like this, this numerous, and this close to the arctic.
What's bad about this, is the impact it'll have on the permafrost.
What's concerning is that when the fires are out, the lack of time there is for people to do anything before winter sets in. Also concerning is how the land itself will react once winter sets in, and then next spring. Sure, most people might not give a rat's ass about that since it's a year away but as I've family in Yellowknife, it's a bit more 'real' to me.
It’s a dry year on much of the prairies also.
I remember about 10 years ago when they were lakes everywhere on the prairie for a year or two where the old timers hadn’t seen that before. I remember really dry years in the late 80s, and crazy amounts of snowfall in the middle and early 70s.
Lots of forest fire smoke this year. I can remember plagues of grasshoppers in the mid 70s, and plagues of maple bugs in the mid 80s. I’m not that old, but I can remember it feeling like the asphalt blacktop was squishing out from between my toes in the early 80s…& nothing like that since….but that’s just here.
Here’s some balance. There’s always three sides to every story it seems.

Thousands scramble to evacuate capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories as more than 200 ‘unprecedented’ wildfires blanket region
By Elizabeth Wolfe, CNN
Updated 4:14 AM EDT, Fri August 18, 2023
Where are the numbers Ms Wolfe? How many burn acres? More than the 8.6Million acres in the 2014 precedent?
The 2014 forest fire season in the Northwest Territories of Canada is reputed to be the worst for at least three decades.[1] As of 3 July, there had been 123 fires reported in the territory, of which at least 92 were still active and 13 were thought to be human-caused. By 9 July the total had reached 164 fires[2] and on 10 July over 130 fires were thought to be burning. The smoke generated by the fires was blown into the Prairie Provinces and created a moderate health risk there leading Environment Canada to declare an air quality advisory for southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba on 9 July.[2]
Oh...there has been worse in NWT long ago before the climate scam. but she said UNPRECEDENTED

This is what Climate Change actually looks like.
Estimates are made of the volumes of the Laurentide ice sheet and the Innuitian ice sheet (covering the Canadian Arctic Islands north of latitude 74°N) from 18,000 to 6000 B.P. Relevant parts of the existing theory of flow in an ice sheet are first reviewed. Two limiting models are considered: a steady-state ice sheet, the dimensions of which do not change with time, and a stagnant ice sheet that thins at the same rate everywhere. Formulas relating ice thickness to radius and volume to area are given. The relation between area and volume of six existing ice sheets is examined to guide the choice of numerical parameters. The history of the Laurentide and Innuitian ice sheets is reviewed to help decide which model (or whether a combination of the two) is more appropriate at different times. Their volumes and thicknesses are then calculated from areas measured on a recent map of ‘speculative’ positions of the ice margins. Volume estimates for the Laurentide ice sheet are 26.5 × 106 km³ at maximum, 17.5 × 106 km³ at 11,800 B.P., and 6 × 106 km³ at 8500 B.P. The sea entered Hudson Bay shortly before 8000 B.P. and Foxe Basin a few hundred years thereafter. This divided the ice sheet into separate Keewatin, Labrador, and Foxe-Baffin ice sheets, which had an estimated total volume of 106 km³ at 7500 B.P. The Keewatin and Labrador sectors had disappeared by about 6000 B.P. The volume of the Innuitian ice sheet at maximum is estimated at 106 km³. It had decreased to its present-day value of 5 × 104 km³ by about 8000 B.P. Maximum errors in these figures are estimated at between. ±16% and ±20% at different times, plus an unknown amount for inaccuracies in the map of the ice margins. From maximum until about 12,000 B.P. the volume of the Laurentide ice sheet decreased much more rapidly than its thickness. If, at the ice sheet maximum, bedrock below its center in Hudson Bay was in isostatic equilibrium, between 150 and 390 meters of uplift must have occurred between 9000 and 8000 B.P. Melting of ice in the Laurentide and Innuitian ice sheets between 15,000 and 6000 B.P. can account for a rise in sea level of between 56 and 76 meters.
Hey moonbats, how many Gt of CO2 does it take to melt 26.5 × 106 km³ of ice so cold and so hard and so dense that's its borderline being a hard rock mineral?
CO2 is staving off the next continental glaciation.
Choose wisely children, choose wisely. We are still in an Ice Age.
Have as many kids as you can, don't let the dickhead genes be the future of the human race.

My cousin who lives there and is a Captain in the Military and SCUBA dive instructor had posted up video flying over the city.
He counted 12 cars.
The video he shared was... there wasn't anything going on - no fires or anything - but it was still heartbreaking. (video is private so can't show it).
Sooooo…..what you’re say’n is there’s usually not just 12 cars there then.

I know, it's up north, that there was 12 is shocking
Not so much when you factor in Trucks, Quads, Side-by-Sides, Snowmobiles, Helicopters, Bush Planes, Toboggans, Dog Sleds, etc….so I’m assuming cars are thin on the ground to start with.I know, it's up north, that there was 12 is shocking

My sister has a second home near Kelona, They recently sold their place and moved to a different one in Kelona. The first one is now gone. Completely burnt to the ground along with the complex it was in. The fire is 5km from her new place. They were already under and evacuation alert and all roads around her place are closed. She is in SK now visiting my dad so nobody in her family is in danger -- just property. She said the winds have died down some so there is some hope her place will be spared.
Travel to B.C.'s southeast, Central Interior restricted, provincial government says — Global News
The order restricts non-essential travellers and tourists from booking motels, hotels and campgrounds in Kelowna, Kamloops, Oliver, Osoyoos, Penticton and Vernon.
The B.C. government will be temporarily restricting travel to fire-affected areas as wildfires threaten thousands in the Central Interior and southeast.
The new order will restrict non-essential travellers and tourists from booking temporary accommodations in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Kamloops, Oliver, Osoyoos, Penticton and Vernon. This includes motels, hotels and campgrounds.
Those who are already staying in temporary accommodations in these areas are being asked to voluntarily check out early to free up space for evacuees and front-line workers.
The order does not impact essential travel into the region, including:
Providing emergency or critical services
Travelling for health or medical reasons
Transporting essential goods and supplies
Attending court or complying with a court order
Attending a funeral service
Avoiding the risk of abuse or violence
Exercising parental responsibilities
Attending classes or training
I don't think they are planning to head back until the fires have cleared. I doubt they would apply to that order as they are owners. But as I mentioned, her area is under mandatory evacuation right now so its all moot.
