Canada’s worst fire season on record visualized using NASA’s GEOS-FP model and FIRMS fire data. Just unfathomable. - 18.5 million hectares of forest scorched - 5% of Canada's forest area burned - Approx. 200,000 people evacuated - A total of over 6,500 fires

That's what boreal and tundra forests do.
@prometheusgreen The scary and sad part of Australian fires is how many lives are lost.
@SophiaKianni Absolutely unfathomable! The scale of Canada's worst fire season is deeply distressing. • Environmental impact: 18.5 million hectares scorched and 5% of Canada's forests burned. • Human impact: Approximately 200,000 people evacuated due to the fires.
Of course, the US had a much below average fire year. More significantly wrt global warming, global fire area has been decreasing:
Created by the amazing @Peterincan!
The tragic implications of #Canada's worst fire season on record will be felt for years to come. The fires have caused immense loss and suffering, and the country is still grappling with the aftermath of the disaster. Sadly,this is just a glimpse of the future we create.
Biome change in progress. Some of those forests will never recover.
And it’s still going. Over 30 aircraft still fighting hard in Northern Alberta right now. Wild.
if I am to ignore the existential horror of this for a moment, the world is so beautiful without those pesky country lines. We should see the world like this, for what it is, more often
![Bill Nye “The Science Guy” said on CNN this morning that forest fires never used to happen in the Carolinas until now. 🗨️ “There's forest fires, wildfires in the Carolinas—that didn't used to be a thing, everybody.” That sounds scary. 😱 Big, if true. But, had Nye done any actual research, he might be aware that his DNC talking points don't quite square with the facts. 🔎📖 The South Carolina South Carolina Forestry Commission (SCFC) has a wealth of information on their website. 💻 🔥 Based on the last 30 years of data, ~3,000 fires break out in South Carolina each year. 🌲 About 18,000 acres are set ablaze annually. 🪵 229,908 acres of land burned in 1950 alone, the most in a single calendar year in the Palmetto state. Of the top 10 years with the most fire burn acreage, nine of them were prior to 1970 and seven of them were at least 70 years ago. 📉 Annual fire burn acreage has decreased by 72.5% (1950-79 vs. 1994-2023). Any emergent climate signal is masked by interannual variability and increased fire suppression in the area. 🔗 🔗 The largest [official] fire on record in South Carolina was the Clear Pond Fire of April 10-15, 1976. It began as an unattended campfire between Conway and Myrtle Beach, and ended up burning 30,000 acres of land in Horry County in the span of five days. For perspective, the current blaze has burned 1,600 acres. 🔗 An even larger fire occurred in mid-February 1898. It seared through an estimated three million acres that stretched from Aiken County, South Carolina to Chatham County, North Carolina, and killed at least 14 people in its path. 🔗 🔗 Bill Nye has no clue what he's talking about. He's just making stuff up and the CNN “journalists” nod in blind agreement.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1896708620701802756/ext_tw_video_thumb/1896686463812837376/pu/img/pxE2VHRB23dzKqNB.jpg)
