Its shameful the lack of coordinated action from both the US and Canadian government, there should be a proper joint emergency action before wildfire season starts, its not a surprise event and work can be done in advance to help alleviate the impact and spread

    I would love to see that kind of coordinated action.

    Instead it sounds like the US is just trying to sue the Canadians for it, and I have my own particular complaints about Canada's conservation efforts, but I don't know enough about their government to really publicly complain about it.

    Thankfully satellites and drones do seem to be improving fire detection. Both nations have so much area to cover, so getting early eyes on fires should be helping a lot.

    While the world still refuses to address climate change, I fear the fires that do grow large are only going to get larger.

    I just want to see more preventative work done, there is plenty we could be doing for fire prevention if we allocated the (significant) budget and focus to it, woodland is so important to us on many levels let alone animals we share the spaces with.

    We still have people trying to deny climate change in the UK, with the recent heatwave you had people saying it wasnt as bad as one in 76, just the dumbest shit.
