Ah, but you see to admit this is a crisis would be 'handing the Greens a win' so those Firefighters are talking to the wind... ...we just don't appreciate how clever the people in Westminster are, they've been playing this game their whole adult lives /s #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires #UKpol #UKpolitics

Severe weather drives record-breaking insurance claims in Sask. Extreme winds in June caused the most insured loss of any event recorded in the province — $240 million — followed by the northern wildfires last summer. Higher losses can lead to higher premiums, and Canada should take more preventative measures, an expert says. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/saskatchewan-severe-weather-insurance-loss-9.7300334?cmp=rss

Chart on the left is what a typical sunny day looks like with the solar panels. 54 kWh produced by 18 panels on my roof. Chart on the right is today (Aug 8), with no clouds, but very heavy layer of smoke in the valley from all the wildfires. Only 28 kWh gemerated. #SolarPanels #Okanagan #Wildfires

"It’s been heath for hundreds of years. It’s not the heath that’s changed, it’s the environment around it. These are not really wildfires, they are often started with human barbecues, cigarette butts or litter, but the key thing is climate change" #Wildfires #DunwichHeath #ClimateEmergency #Suffolk ‘These are human fires, not wildfires’: Dunwich reflects on the devastation | Suffolk | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/aug/09/these-are-human-fires-not-wildfires-dunwich-reflects-on-the-devastation

I'm so pissed. Fires have been increasing in this area for the past 23 years, ever since the big Kelowna Firestorm in August 2003. We've known for a long time that climate change is a thing. At first we were calling it global warming. Introduced in a 1975 paper, then in the news starting in 1988. And we've done almost nothing. Stop building pipelines across the country! Stop pumping oil, and instead pump more funding into wind, solar, and electric cars. Find ways to convince companies to allow their employees to work from home instead of sitting in traffic every day while vehicles burn fuel. And tax the rich with their private jets and massive carbon footprints. What will it take for our politicians to do something? The number of fires and evacuations near me is astounding. Over 230 homes burned so far in the last few days. And tonight it is getting worse. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/summerland-bc-wildfire-aug-7-9.7300528 #Wildfires #BritishColumbia #Okanagan

The EU's adaptation framework offers an illusion of preparation. Laying out plans for a 3°C drift average does not make it survivable. But it makes it seem so. 🧵 Europe is not even preparing for what happened recently! In the pine plantations west of Bordeaux, firefighters met the first pyrocumulonimbus France has ever seen. There was the largest firefighting mobilisation in EU history, and the destruction broke records anyway: https://civil-protection-humanitarian-aid.ec.europa.eu/news-stories/news/eu-deploys-largest-ever-wildfire-response-2026-summer-2026-06-02_en #climatePolicy #adaptation #megafires #wildfires #plantations #forestry #climateDrift #climateChange #firefighting #firefighters #France #EUPol #policy

MINUTE OF SILENCE A minute of silence for Ukrainians killed by Russia, held together by Ukrainian, French and Tahiti rescuer teams who are now fighting the large-scale forest fires in France. Tahiti rescuers performed a song that honors the glory of the Tahitian volunteers who fought in WWII. #AureFreePress #News #StandWithUkraine #France #wildfires
