  Obviously an illegal Canadian wildfire that crossed the border. ICE will shoot it any minute now.

  Where is the map from?

    Space. Who knew the land actually had lines like that? Guess that’s why the states and provinces are shaped the way they are though.

      Those Nazcas were a lot more wide ranging than I thought.

      The shapes of states are arbitrary. That is an actual photo from space, but the white lines are added to the image after the fact.

  I see a LOT of smoke that was made in America in this image. USA USA USA

• Limonene@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  The people emitting the carbon dioxide should pay for it, since climate change is responsible for much of the fire.

  (This statement is not in disagreement with the post. See list.)

  And then Americans have the nerve to get pissy with Canada when their smoke gets over here. No offers to help, no well wishes. Just complaints. Typical.

• JasonDJ@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Blows my mind that Trump was raising a stink over the smoke when it was pouring into NYC and New England.

  All things considered, I’d expect him to fan the flames much, much more literally.

    It’s a forest so he will demand the flames be raked.

  Since global climate change is a liberal hoax, maybe liberal Americans should foot the bill…

  Or some such bullshit according to Trump and conservative Americans

    The point isn’t he wasn’t causing a fuss about CO2 emissions. It was smoke.

    Sounds good to me, let’s make America pay for 11/12th of the cleanup and Canada can cover the last 1/12 as per their emission ratios

  • SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Ok and the US is #2, only behind China.

    I think you’ll find every country has contributed to this problem.

    The difference is was the the President of the US that blamed Canada for the smoke, refusing to recognize that Global Warming is the problem. The post you’re replying to is not from any Canadian official, it’s just a joke on a shitty web forum.

    It is true that Canada has a high per capita level of emissions. People definitely don’t do as much as they should and the popularity of stupidly huge trucks is absolutly a problem. One thing to consider tho is that winters are though and that definitely accounts for something, as well as the fact that it’s a huge territory. I’m definitely not proud of how our new government just decided that climate change can’t be adresses right now, but a big part of these measures are a direct reaction to trump trying to starve us. Because the united states are currently trying to break our economy if you didn’t know avout that. Americans are bringing the world back 50 years ago on every environmental issues, they can definitely go fucked themselves.

    I expected this message, but I didn’t expect it to be downvoted. Is Lemmy getting better? Probably not; the parent probably just posted it at the wrong time and the dogs did their piling.

      Lemmy will only get better when we delete the italians.

  Damn those all seem huge. Are fires and the resulting smoke a lot bigger than I think, or is the world smaller?

  source

  • GoodStuffEh@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Probably a little bit of both. Anecdotally, the fires and smoke columns are probably bigger than you realize. This is a pic from some time ago of a 10,000m tall smoke column from a fire barely 24 hours old and less than 100kms away.

      I mean, I’m no stranger to wildfires and smoke where i live, it’s just… even when I look at giant clouds covering the sky, my brain says “I mean, that’s big but there’s no way it’s significant-on-a-global-scale big.” But some of those smoke clouds look the be the size of a small state. And the fires themselves. I would’ve thought they’d just be pinpricks of light if anything, not those angry big blotches. I think i just need to recalibrate what “big” means.

      It doesn’t help that I live in a large state. When you can drive for 9 hours in a straight line and not cross a state border, nothing seems THAT big, you know?

  We should rake our forests more.

  I remember a recent year that California was on fire. Here we were watching the AQI to see whether we needed to stay indoors, or have a bug-out bag ready. I remember getting a call from my dad in Missouri saying that the smoke from our fires was all the way over there.

  I think it was the year that Trump criticized us for failing to rake our forests, as if our virgin woods were the same thing as a golf course.
