:polarbear_fire: Forest Fires and Climate Change
"Forest fires make headlines across Canada every summer. They regularly devastate millions of acres of forest [2] and sometimes threaten entire communities with sudden, catastrophic violence. Destructive fires have an enduring impact on the community that lingers long after people return home to resume their lives. Findlater speaks from experience when he says “life is never quite the same again after you’ve been evacuated.” The extraordinary danger and lasting impacts of wildfire explain why we spend so much money – about a billion dollars a year – fighting it. 👉 NOTE: That number has increased !
