<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOne can only hope!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Will Canada pay reparations to the United States and \/ or carbon credits to the EU to offset this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
I know I shouldn\u2019t be making fun of the situation but when you take the whole green thing to its insane conclusion then we have to ask these kinds of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The smoke cover is also going to be reducing the efficiency of solar panels and causing more carbon to be produced because of unusual demands on the electrical grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
OMG! Canada\u2019s ESG Score is going to take a hit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
It is not my intention to be mean to Canada. The Canadian people suffer under Trudeau. They have my sympathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
I use this event to highlight the absurdity of carbon taxation and ESG scoring. Because neither system can be enforced and neither system appears to account for those events we used to call \u201cAct Of God\u201d. Since God is dead in the minds of the WEF attendees there can be no \u201cActs Of God\u201d and therefore someone is responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s well known, it can\u2019t possibly be the government, or the super wealthy, or the movers and shakers in the entertainment industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The only people left who can be punished, are the taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll bet 6 months from now there\u2019s going to be some tax hike in Canada that will be called wildfire mitigation and the funds will go anywhere but into proper stewardship of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nI can make that bet because California has tried to implement exactly those kinds of taxes. They\u2019ve failed but for a time it looked like California was going to tax people living in \u201chigher risk\u201d zones for additional fire fighting resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
They almost got away with it, until someone pointed out studies that proved the worst wildfires originated in California State Controlled & \u201cmaintained\u201d forests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Yep, the wildfires were originating in areas owned by the State of California and in many cases the California Department of Forestry hadn\u2019t been allowed to do the proper maintenance to remove dead trees or undergrowth because they didn\u2019t have their full appropriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Logging and other forestry management, in some cases, was blocked by environmentalist groups doing impact studies, often for years. Until a fire swept through the area being studied and well, I guess there wasn\u2019t a need to do an impact study anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\nUh like yeah Professor Moonshaft-Sunbeam-Jones, the forest burned really hot. Like all our equipment is toast. The entire colony of inverted 9 toe hermaphroditic spotted periwinkles flew off when the fire came toward them. Too bad about Alboneus & Groompa being burned up, I liked Zem both\u2026 They kept saying the fire wasn\u2019t real while the rest of us like, uhh ran.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps I\u2019m too mean toward the academics but over the years I\u2019ve heard some truly astoundingly stupid things being said by supposedly educated people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
We know that dead trees in a forest are a fire hazard, we know that lots of brush is a fire hazard, we know that people wandering through the forests can become a fire hazard if they\u2019re careless with camping or smoking or just suddenly fascinated that hitting two rocks together can cause a spark. (That last one I\u2019ve actually seen an adult male doing.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, on that occasion I got a glimpse into what early hominids looked like discovering fire\u2026 That I was seeing this in 2022 was terrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
My point is that most countries and states within those countries have fire mitigation procedures. The question we should be asking is; why aren\u2019t those procedures being followed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
In California it appears it\u2019s about money not getting to the agencies who are tasked with the job. I\u2019d suggest our Canadian brothers and sisters, ask their respective government agencies what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Equally, I\u2019d say for them not to take the government statements that the fires are being caused by climate change as gospel. Yes, climate change may be partially responsible. But if we\u2019ve known climate change is happening, why haven\u2019t more resources been allocated to forestry services to proactively mitigate the problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Could it be that government wants to use wildfires for their political and financial benefit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Just a few questions that run through my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The smoke is covering the East Coast as far south as Myrtle Beach. My goodness! Have Canadian Patriots lit the place on fire to cover a Coup? Under cover of smoke are patriots dragging Trudeau out of parliament? One can only hope! Will Canada pay reparations to the United States and \/ or carbon credits … <\/p>\n
