  Weird context to see Geoff Thew.

    Context for those out of the loop, Geoff Thew runs an anime review channel on YouTube called “Mother’s Basement”.

    And in case anyone asks, right before I stopped watching him ~2 years ago he had moved out of his mother’s basement to live with his girlfriend. No idea if that’s still the case

      I’m a casual fan, but IIRC he and his girlfriend moved to Japan.

      His channel drives me nuts because he’ll act like some anime is the lewdest, trashiest piece of smut he’s ever seen then you go to check it out yourself and it’s like, two brief panty shots.

      Look dude, if I’m coming to restaurant called chez garbage, I’m not here for the slightly soggy fries appetizer

    I mean, he’s pretty openly actually leftist, which is more common than you’d think in the anime sphere.

  Meanwhile he’s paying a literal Nazi monthly for a blue checkmark on his fascist platform…

  I was waiting to be seated at a restaurant Friday when I overheard the same sentiment but then took a hard right turn…

  “It never used to be like this” ‘i know’ “All the liberals stopped the logging in Canada and now look at them burn and here we are dealing with it.”

      The most important thing to them is their pride. They will literally prefer the world to be burnt down then give that up.

      Its just propaganda. The most effective of which seems to be false explanations and distraction conspiracies. Anything but allow people to see whats going on and who’s doing it.

  Has anyone heard someone blame Canada as if the nation of Canada was personally attacking them?

  Had a relative do that yesterday and it was a reminder in a moment that should have been a low stress, loving moment with family a rage inducing reminder that we’re fucked.

    Trump called it an invasion and threatened tariffs. Your relative is probably watching Fox News or something more depraved.

  Nah, the actual problem is all the wind mills and solar panels. They’re screwing up the weather!!!

    of course you are producing storms if you plaster everything with giant fans!!!

      Last I checked wind farms are accelerating earth’s rotation. Something like that will obviously change the climate.

  We’re in the ‘FIND OUT’ phase of what happens when you clear cut an entire continent and replant our forests on a massive scale while thinking that ‘oh all that sequestered carbon will just be recaptured in the new trees we plant’. No - whats happening instead is - the trees we mass replanted don’t capture that carbon back at a rate we expect - I am pretty sure the forestry industry knows this - but hey profits right?

  Also I reckon if we have retained our old growth forests, it wouldn’t be this bad. It would still be bad, but at least our forests would be more resilient. As for those that have no idea what a old growth forest is - think massive trees that are wider than 2 cars at the base and that are over a thousand years old each at minimum. Go visit one when you have a chance - they are increasingly rare because governments are still fucking allowing logging companies to cut them down. Also, you’ll find they’re a lot more humid than young forests (~200 year old ones). It’s a travesty. In BC, for example, 97% of the province have been clear-cutted and our forestry industry likes to tout themselves as ‘sustainable’. It’s bullshit. What’s even crazier is that we got barely any industry other than shipping out raw lumber for processing elsewhere while we lose jobs and taxes on value added industries.

  People spent decades preventing wildfires. Fires are a natural part of ecological systems. Overgrowth and a build up of litter cause more intense fires and increase their ability to spread. In northern regions, people were also preventing beavers from doing their thing that helps reduce wildfire spread. At least in Florida we pioneered controlled burns to simulate nature and save lives.

    You have no idea what you are talking about, the forest in Ontario is bigger than Texas.

      I don’t know what you are talking about. I was just saying interesting things about ecosystems. Do you have questions?

      I don’t think many Americans understand how much of the Country is forests. In Quebec everything past the river plains north of A40 or 138 is forests.

    Controlled burns in North America predate Florida.

    • multifariace@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You’re not wrong. Indigenous regularly burned. Florida’s pioneering I mentioned was about policy. California still struggles to get it right.

      Thank you for your elaboration.

  I grew up in Northern MI. 1989-2011. I do not recall any summer of wildfires smoke coming across the lake.

  • Jason2357@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    In the 90s and early 2000s, we had lots of “smog days” in southern Ontario. Of course those were mostly from coal plants in Ontario and Michigan, not forest fires. I wonder if its related.

  Wildfires are also just rare. I grew up in a wildfire-prone area and we only got significant smoke once. So not remembering any doesn’t really say anything meaningful necessarily.
