American fires

Canadians: hey we’re gonna help you out!

Canadian fires

Americans: You’re ruining our summer!

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's the American way.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 64 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago

Says the country that believes in clean coal

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

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

Fuck the regime!

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I see you've chosen to show us your real name, rather than your alter ego, Don.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

Anyway, Trump and repugnican quarterwit reichsführer can gargle nuts.

There’s no way that’s not satire making fun of trumps asinine speech patterns.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Piefed.world account, so probably just started it up.

[-] ehxor@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago

Why doesn’t God Emperor Trump just tariff the smoke?

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago

How about go fuck yourself you useless bunch of fascists.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

I just farted and waved it in the general direction of the US. Enjoy.

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.

[-] aeternum 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, don't you read the newspapers? Global warming is fake. If it were real, why does it get cold still?

[-] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Are you trying to kill the beautiful birds and drive the whales crazy?! /s

[-] DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

We've purposly lit all these fires just to ruin their summer, totally intentional, I swear it.

[-] bowreality@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

That’s 70% tariff for you!!! 🍊 🤡

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

2 solutions:

  1. US resolution to accept global warming as real, with commitment to lower emissions on top of forest management resources in both countries (US wildfires occasionally annoy Canadians)

  2. US buys more Canadian Pine lumber.

We have reached a global warming tipping point where forest fires are at such extreme levels for 3 years in a row now, that fires offset global natural carbon capture from trees, which is about 1/4 of human emissions. Some of the arson, has been motivated by climate disinformation as "attempts to prove global warming is false by arson". Global warming's impact on forest fires is not more ignition. It is faster/wider spread of fires.

If everyone in Canada were employed as an "arson preventer", they could patrol 10 hectares of forest each.

“We write to you today on behalf of our constituents who have had to deal with suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke filling the air,” reads the letter signed by Republican House representatives Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber, Michelle Fischbach and Tom Emmer of Minnesota, along with Tom Tiffany and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin.

republiQans all, as if it was a question.

[-] opus86@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

So,how about trying to come up with solutions rather than loudly whining about everything?

[-] Disaster@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

The only solution those fuckheads will pull their thumbs out of their assholes for is the final one in Gaza.

[-] BC_viper@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yah. Nah, fuck them.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck it, start a controlled burn at the border when the wind is out of the North.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

Or nah.

Enjoy the wildfire smoke dumbasses.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We are going to teach the Canadians to stop being such kind people. muhahahah.

Interestingly 24% of Canadians have a favorable view of the US and 87% of Americans have a favorable view of Canadians. Thats a 63% mismatch, and it was trending way down even before trump.
