I’m sure they’ll catch up or die trying.
There are better things to do imo than attack climate change though, or blame data centers.
Prevention: Strategic Mosaic Burning — Conduct controlled burns during cooler seasons to create a patchy landscape that starves future summer wildfires of continuous fuel.
Prevention: Defensible Asset Buffers — Clear ladder fuels and deadwood within a 10–30 km radius around critical infrastructure and remote communities rather than attempting to clear deep wilderness.
Prevention: Early Detection Networks — Utilize satellite infrared monitoring and autonomous drones to spot lightning strikes instantly so crews can intervene while fires are small.
Suppression: Initial Attack Airborne Crews — Deploy smokejumpers and helitack crews via aircraft within hours of ignition to cut crude containment lines around remote fires before they spread.
Suppression: Anchor & Burn-Out Operations — Use natural barriers like lakes or rivers miles ahead of the fire line, burning off intervening vegetation via helicopters to starve the incoming fire front.
Suppression: Heavy Aerial Tankers — Drop long-term chemical fire retardants along flanks to steer the blaze away from key corridors and force it toward natural water bodies.
Suppression: Modified Suppression (“Let-It-Burn”) — Allow unthreatening, remote fires to burn naturally under monitoring, clearing accumulated fuel and creating natural firebreaks for future years.
Maybe “Too bad— cope,” Isn’t the best foot —or thought —forward.
Too much AI in that post , it’s putting out a lot of C02

The US government isn’t interested in fighting climate change which is the root cause of increased forest fires. Not sure why Canada should suddenly try to fix it on it’s own ? But just a week ago the US lobbed massive taxes on Canada, it’s like asking your mate to help with moving house after you charged him for dinner at your place.
The whole border thing there is a human construct, yah all share the same continent, fix it yourselves. Forest fires are the symptoms not the cause.
It’s for a good cause!
Well, that’s honestly where I’m coming from. It’s a seasonal problem. It can be addressed, not eliminated of course, but the scope of the burns and smoke could be reduced.
Thing is, I don’t care where the idea comes
From or how it gets the attention it takes to address it. An ounce of prevention, a pound of cure. ![]()
I think Spain is also on fire this year, Greece is every year. WTH? And the California terrorist fire season is about to begin.
Things can be done ![]()
Us politics thread. Cope much? And once again playing the off topic card. Bot response.
You say, having outsourced all thinking to a LLM. Whatever man. disingenuous and unable to even do ones own research. Wombo combo.
Yes there is prevention and yes it helps, but ignoring climate change makes it impossible to effectively combat increasingly fierce wildfires. You can smokescreen with ai suggestions and pretend we have the funds for that (after trump slashed pretty much all forest & environmental services budgets) but as things stand, huge wildfires are just getting more common and worse.
“i dont care how we fix things, just as long as it doesn’t involve any meaningful changes”
this is literally what canada does with many of its wildfires

An AI would have told you this is an IP Thread, not a USP thread. ![]()
You picked item #7—the only passive tactic—and ignored the active strategies right above it, like off-season prescribed burns and clearing ladder fuels. Modified suppression cleans deadwood, but proactive fuel management is what prevents continent-wide smoke.
Your ,” Canada already does nothing,” remark
Is bizarre.
Also, Congress actually rejected those proposed non-fire forestry cuts in the appropriations bill to protect core funding. The administration is restructuring internally, but the forest management budget hasn’t been slashed.
They restored $308.7M for Research and $310.6M for State/Private Forestry, keeping overall non-fire forest management spending stable around $3.7B.

It’s funny how Trump and his minions says something, and then the MAGAs jump up and defend his words like he is Jesus Christ reincarnation
. No critical thinking, just accepting his words ![]()
After all he’s said and done any MAGA with two brain cells applied to critical thinking abandoned him a long time ago, so yeah, I’d be truly astounded if anyone still believing in him did otherwise.
Canada needs to stop that wind!
Wow, just when I thought this couldn’t get any stupider
Is there no end to the evil of Canadians

They have AI for that
You laid it out exactly.
I would pick any European nation over probably hundreds of other countries. But it can get real comfortable if you lived in places where things just work still.
Any nominations for the top 10 ?
