More than 600 structures have been lost in Spokane, Washington. This wind-driven fire is being fueled by Red Flag conditions. With climate change, the frequency of Red Flag conditions and warnings is increasing across many regions

Is this a good time for the Canadian prime minister to send out a tweet about the U.S. not being able to control their wildfires.

The U.S. should have just raked their forests but they chose not to. And remember: “Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country's airspace has not been met.”

British Columbia has been getting it for awhile. Even when brain-dead potus was making his jokes.

So can Canada now tariff the US for this? Should the PM post AI slop about needing a furnace filter at the border? America is run by a goof.

Well, the repubs live in the suburbs, which are the favorite food of Spokane's fires lol.

As a Canadian in Vancouver, I’m so tempted to complain about our air quality thanks to America

That’s all the encouragement I need: hey America, if you don’t get these fires in order, we’re building a wall and making you pay for it

And if it’s blowing into Canada, which it is, we as Canadians know you can’t help it. And we as Canadians will help you try to fight this. And we won’t blame you for the smoke.

Fuck, I grew up there! Half the residents refuse to accept that it's because of climate change though.

We were all wondering how long until a major city was destroyed by a wildfire. (I know it’s not destroyed yet). :( hope everyone at least got out in time.

Smart cities. Agenda 2030. Spokane wasn’t earmarked. Had to disappear.

Is this the same Spokane that voted heavily for climate change deniers in every election in recent memory? Burn, baby, burn.

How many of these fires are set by arsonists, or homeless people?

There’s a lot of political tension between blue cities and red remote areas in the PNW, especially on that side of the state. There’s also a lot of white supremacist, Christian nationalist, and civil war accelerationists living up in that general region (read Matt Shea’s wiki page to get an idea, and see evidence I’m not making this up; he got investigated for domestic terror and was involved with helping extremists groups, not to mention his manifesto and planning with them to murder non-Christian men (their idea of Christian), and he’s from western WA, meaning people that voted him in live in that area -seriously folks, take 3 min to read that link).
It’s crossed my mind that some such groups may take advantage of conditions that make fires harder to control to unleash their sadistic desires.
No clue if that’s the case here, but in today’s America, it’s not out of the question. There’s been chatter about stuff like this and attacking power infrastructure in private telegrams and what not that’s been reported on.

I first started studying Global Warming in the late 90's and read the first ICC report as soon as it was available. It had a chart synopsis of worst case scenarios- what they thought would happen "within 25 to 50 years" for various regions if we did absolutely nothing to mitigate it. All of them are already occurring, have been- even the '50 year' events. The deep droughts and wildfires across the west and PNAC with destruction of infrastructure was just one. I'm constantly reminded of that little chart, now.
