A Canadian, and then an Albertan, on Treaty 6 lands. I will defend Canada from both foreign and domestic enemies. I urge fellow Gen X to also stand up now so that fewer of our youth are needed in our civilian defense force. I toot too much about the apparent collapse of democracy because we are collectively failing to stop fascism in its tracks. Fair Warning: Sharp commentary! If you're conservative or religious you should probably block me, my patience is now a matter of history. Anon.

Autistic and too tired to hide it. (My special interest? Everything, only organized.) Snarks (as opposed to jokes), doom, and reply guys are blocked without warning.

#Wildfire season is #Disinformation season! 🔥💬
I debunked very common but misleading arguments designed to deny any impact of #ClimateChange. Every year they keep coming back - with catastrophic fires near #Bordeaux and #Madrid, this year is no different.
Find here the original blog post for @Volksverpetzer@digitalcourage.social (in German, if interested simply use a website translator): https://volksverpetzer.de/analyse/waldbrand-fakes-erkennen-widerlegen/
Here are the main points summarized in English:
-
Of course air #temperature has an impact on wildfires. Yes, hot days will not result in "spontaneous self-ignition" of a forest, but that was never the point. Bringing that up is a classic straw-man fallacy, and using it against climate change impacts is a logical mistake.
-
#Arson is not an argument against the impact of climate change. Global warming impacts both natural and human-caused ignitions and makes resulting fires more difficult to control.
-
Many regions across the globe are experiencing a #trend towards increased wildfire activity. However, those who refer to the decline in globally summed up burned area over the last 20 years to say otherwise ignore important context and draw an invalid conclusion from the data.
As I predicted in 2023 - It needs to be stressed that institutions commonly linked to systematic #disinformation about climate change are starting to include wildfire in their repertoire and misleading arguments will likely continue to spread and evolve. It is good to check before sharing!

I like to do well rounded reporting on these sorts of situations and one notable video consertaves are running with pretty hard right now is this interview of an alleged eye witness who blamed the victim.
These sorts of witness statements don't matter much as the facts are abundently clear:
- Joan was in the US legally
- A whole family was in the car
- Murdering the driver didn't make the agents safer
- ICE conducts unsafe ramming stops
- Was there a language barrier?
