      The fires happen every year since the end of the last Ice Age. The summer thunderstorms roll across the northern forest. Alaska to Newfoundland and Quebec (5000 miles by 1000 miles. They form up in the afternoon and scatter across the land. The storms let loose in the early evening. The lightning strikes set the fires. Small spot fires that smolder for a few hours and then flare up.
      This as a few years ago is a bad fire season because the forest has been in a drought condition for 10+ years. Before then they would burn out on their own. They were left to burn out the deadwood and a flush of new growth in spring. Food for wildlife. They were only fought when around the few small communities. They keep the bush cleared close to towns.
      It is by coincidence that the jet stream flow has dipped down the US eastern coast pulling the smoke into the US. Also fires in Oregon and Washington by the same process.

    Here’s something to take into consideration. There are a lot of black spruce and birch in the understory there. The black spruce can burn in much higher humidity and fuel moisture content than they do in your typical western fuels. There are also moss such as feather moss that carry the fire, unlike most western states, which have cheatgrass as a primary carrying fuel. The fuels (trees) are close together, so the fires typically crown and they are known to fully envelope the overstory. This is all part of their natural fire regimes, and there is nothing short of an act of God that can stop these fires because the intensity is far too great to safely control. The black spruce burn, the brush, grasses, and birch grow in the understory, and then black spruce seedlings spring forth again. This is a never ending fire cycle and there’s also many benefits to the wildlife that rely upon the new forage that grows when the black spruce burn.

      It truly is a sad situation when those trying to fight the fires become victims.
      I think this has a lot to do with the inexperience of crews and chainsaw/clearing methods. Bothe these loved firefighters I believe were killed by falling trees, either from manual cutting, equipment operating or may even be from trees exploding from the heat expanding the moisture inside.
      I am sure they get stringent training before heading out, but these are still young inexperienced individuals trying so hard to do a dangerous job.

    Here in Australia, we went through this just before Covid. We feel for Canada and know your pain. AUSTRALIA: The first major bushfires began at the beginning of Sept. 2019. The fire situation worsened significantly at the beginning of November 2019 with increasing temperatures and a prolonged drought. In mid-February an extremely heavy rainstorm allowed firefighters to contain all of the fires in New South Wales (NSW), although fires continued to burn in Victoria. All of the fires were either extinguished or contained by March 4, 2020 - nine months after the first ones began to burn.The bushfires burned more than 46 million acres (72,000 square miles) - roughly the same area as the entire country of Syria. At least 80% of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area in NSW and 53% of the Gondwana world heritage rainforests in Queensland (QLD) were burned. More than a third of the koala population is thought to have been killed, while the loss of habitat will also significantly impact the species’ recovery. A study from Australia’s government found that 471 plants and 191 invertebrates were affected by the fires, with the most severely affected species losing at least 30% of their habitat. Smoke from the fires darkened the skies in New Zealand, and continued to circle the globe for more than three months.

It's not only in this segment, but pretty much everywhere. The linear growth of yearly estimate warming rose x50 this year. That means it's not linear anymore, but maybe arbitrary.

      Fires happen, but we've tried so hard not to let them happen that now our forests are "dirty" with tons of deadfall and underbrush that should be burnt away every few decades.

      You are exactly right what is burning in northern Canada is the earth's boreal forests. It is not possible to control these forests. The fires occur when there are extended hot, windy and dry conditions. Not having normal spring rains can affect the sap conditions which leaves the trees dry and prime fuel in a lightning storm. The amount of smoke and ash in the atmosphere from these massive fires is creating unusual light conditions.

I’m from NY, and when we had that one day back in June that the smoke was so intense that the sky turned orange…there were still people going out but that’s because us NYere are super busy people, but when it comes to wildfires, you have to be careful because think of what those fire are destroying…..buildings, homes, trees….and think of how much debris is being caught up in that and infiltrating the air. Being outside in smoke like that for an extended period of time, and can long term effects.

    Many point out the failure of Canada to manage it's forests as evidenced by the extent of forest fires this season. Preventing these fires is not feasible given the absolutely massive extent of forested land in Canada. Most of these fires are no where near any kind of human infrastructure including roads, air assets, or population center's. There's not enough money or manpower in Canada to do anything more than attempt to mitigate and react as best they can to an impossible situation. The real problem here is the drought caused by many successive years of overly hot dry weather. If you believe human caused climate change is real it seems better to call it a global failure to manage the climate than a Canadian forestry management issue.

    This has been going on in force in B.C. to this degree for the better part of a decade now. You look across a lake and you think you're staring out at the ocean because the smoke has completely obscured the far shoreline. Entire towns burned down, record setting heat, less and less precipitation annually, entire weeks without seeing the sun through the smoke living through a near-twilight haze. Firefighters from as far away as Australia brought in to help out and goodness knows they know a lot about brush fires. Just google Lytton.
    Its a real tragedy though a lot of this is ancient brush and forest was due to burn eventually.
    Happy to hear so many of our international friends are helping out with the fires.

    Thanks for the help, dear neighbours. I've lived in Quebec for 56 years and have only ever smelled a bit of wildfire smoke once for one day years ago. And then suddenly a huge lightening storm swept across the boreal forest in an extraordinary early, dry, hot spring and it's a vast inferno. Not only is it extraordinary in Quebec, it's extraordinary in every province and territory. It's the second largest forest in the world, truly wild wilderness. We have to figure out the future. Climate change is not happening incrementally, it triggers massive catastrophes. "More frequent and more severe" does not prepare you for your massive country burning down around you. Normally one province needs help and the other provinces all help them. For all provinces to need urgent help at the same time, it's just unheard of, it was unthinkable! Thanks for all the help from away, and to all our firefighters too, stay safe out there.

      The way they knew that a fire was moving into a Colorado town was the movement of hundred of elk through town. Wild animals know more than you think about how to survive these. However, pets are not so lucky or the people who will not evacuate because they can not take pets to the shelters. In the USA, more and more states are setting up pet areas in shelters and it is saving a lot of human lives as well as beloved animal members of evacuated families.

Nature is a cruel mistress, she constantly poses challenges that only the best survive, and that is her chosen way of improving the breeds. If it wasn't for climactic change, humans wouldn't have evolved. Nature must absolutely abhor the snowflakes that shout so loud these days.

      This has nothing to do with man-made climate change. The Earth is about to experience a Carrington Event. Which is a supermassive solar flare that will destroy every electrical device on Earth. The Sun is increasing in activity, and has been for at least a decade. This has caused a spike in the temperature of Earth.
      The increased energy radiation from the Sun is warping Earth's magnetic field, and soon the poles will flip. This will cause catastrophic weather events worldwide. A Carrington Event happens in our solar system every 12 000 years or so. And has been the cause of mass extinctions of animal and plant life on Earth.
