    Maybe the US could behave like climate change exists and actually do something about it?

    Or nah.

    Enjoy the wildfire smoke dumbasses.

    Sure would help if they’d committed to Paris or any environmental standards.

    And they should deal with their own forest fires. Remember when we sent firefighters there just this year when Trump was going on about 51st state crap? I remember.

    Canadian firefighters were just in the US a few months ago while Drumphkins was flapping his lips about annexation.

    Hey congress. Remember how Canada and Mexico routinely send us help when our fires get really bad? Well?.. Do you not think we should return the very huge favor?

      Exactly what I was thinking! Instead of helping us, they are complaining about something that is not in control.

        Obviously it only makes sense to help Canada if it becomes a state. Half the reason they help with american fires is because they want to be a state so bad. /s

    Mitigate your pollution which is increasing temperatures first, instead of doubling down on Big Oil.

    I’m so tired of the US as it currently stands. We need to build 400 nukes, then turn off ALL the supplies we send.

      Canada is lucky to get a chance to have America’s pollution because it’s the greatest pollution this world and maybe universe has ever seen.

        Username checks out. How is it you’re only 1 day old? Are there multiple Satansmaggotycumfarts? WTH?

    We as humans have only ourselves to blame for these wildfires. We’re pushing this planet to it’s limits and it’s only going to keep getting worse.

      We have also mismanaged our forests. Northern boreal forests are supposed to burn. We have stopped that from happening. Through in global warming and e have a tinderbox just waiting to ignite.

    We have a plan to deal with this.

    Step #1 is to let one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses destroy itself in a civil war.
