So where are all the tree huggers when there is actually a use for them. The globull warming truthers should be there too fighting CO2 emissions instead of protesting in some city hundred of miles from the action.

I wonder if this wildfire has paid the appropriate carbon taxes or purchased the appropriate carbon credits?

Oh, they'll always be out and about and saying stupid things (karma for oil sands ... sheesh) I wonder how many are wearing water packs and walking smoky tree lines?

The climate-tards feel much better in fighting the good fight from the comfort of a Starbucks patio chair

I have a four cylinder car and an eight cylinder truck. If I could figure out how to run them on the lies of environmentalists I'd never have to buy gas again.

If I used my 4 cylinder car to get 2 cords of wood from the forrest, my fuel bill would be anything but economical. The multiple trips would make me want to punch the next ecotard in the nose when they try to authoratively insist that my truck is a gas guzzler.

In that case you may want to check out this document I came across as I was looking for an answer to your question. I believe it holds all the information you are looking for and is, in the end, a really heart-warming read.

As of Wednesday morning, thermal imaging showed a fire that seemed to span the length of the city.

All the money in Alberta and already someone has their hand out I was checking out @ the self serve cashier @ London Drugs an hour ago and already someone had the machine programmed for 'donations for those in need'.

Truly some people have No Shame None.

The Salvation Army is better at getting the help- to the people it was intended for. The Red Cross has more admin costs, a lot more.
