Climate disinformation is a serious problem.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called the Canadian wildfires “truly unprecedented” in floor remarks Wednesday and warned of the ongoing damage caused by climate change.
“This morning, our nation’s capital — and much of the Northeast, including almost the whole of my state, New York — woke up once again under a veil of smog,” Schumer said. “As we speak, wildfires of unnatural strength continue blazing in Canada, sending toxic air and smoke over the border and over American cities.”
The Quebec wildfires were caused by lightning. But the vast majority of fires are caused by human beings, whether through arson or accident.
That’s as far as any kind of “human-caused” climate disaster goes.
So Senator Schumer was practically right. Fires like these could have been caused by human actions, not through ‘climate change, but careless campers or arsonists, but in this case he’s still wrong, they were caused by lightning.
I look forward to Schumer explaining how raising taxes is going to reduce lightning storms.
Una Salus says
Schumer is like a plague of locusts.
Jeff Bargholz says
Or the plague of toads.

Also, the real culprit is bad wildfire prevention and such by the government.
It’s true that lightning storms can set off a lot of fires simultaneously.
One stupid example of bad government policy in California popped up recently: new minimum wage laws that making grazing wildlands by goats to prevent wildfires impossible economically, as the goatherds need to be on duty all 24 hours, and would have to be paid overtime.
World@70 says
Just saw on TV news this AM, Canadian officials admit mismanagement of fire prevention technics is the main cause for the severity of these fires.

Thanks World!!!

The only real barrier to Utopia is this nonsense about prosperity and freedom manifesting itself through hard, well planned prudent efforts by individuals not adhering to centralized command.
Sentimentalism regarding quaint historical notions like the purported “Enlightenment”, and the resultant quackery regarding purported ” rights”, unassailable by groups organized to do exactly that, in the explicit manner of Tenmian Square and Waco Texas where the force of moral, historically inevitable justice derail all the reactionary clingers, are simply holding us back.
Time for those who understand power to draw the curtains.

iMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY- I’LL BET EVEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY.
Jeff Bargholz says
WTF? That’s an unwarranted comment.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Sid often uses sarcasm, he’s quite good at it 🙂
TruthLaser says
Climate change is the new devil theory of history.
Marlow says
This isn’t hard: Global warming leads to less rainfall, which leaves forested areas drier than they were before and thus more prone to massive wildfires, including those caused by lightning strikes. Do try to wrap your head around it.
Jeff Bargholz says
Except global warming is a myth and a warmer planet would be more fruitful. Forests don’t spontaneously burst into combustion, dumbass.
Marlow says
Global warming isn’t just real, it has to be real. We know how CO2 acts in the atmosphere and we’re spewing out tons of it. That’s going to change the climate, and not for the better.
If you’d bothered to read what I wrote, you’d see that I didn’t say forests spontaneously combust, dumbass. Quite the opposite.
Jeff Bargholz says
CO2 doesn’t heat the atmosphere, dumbass. Take some chemistry lessons. And stop taking it up the ass. It’s bad for your health.
Marlow says
Is there anything you can do other than accuse me of being gay, Bungholz? It’s a bit undignified coming from a coprophage.
CowboyUp says
Warming leads to more evaporation and precipitation, not less. That’s why there are normally afternoon and evening thunderstorms almost every day in Florida and Georgia during the summer. From orbit you can watch the clouds building up over Florida over the course of the day. Try to wrap your head around it.
Massive wildfires are the result of poor or no forest management.
Marlow says
Source on your claim please? And not from Newsmax or the like if you don’t mind…
Jeff Bargholz says
Newsmax is an objective and factual network, unlike the shit you watch.
Cretin.
Marlow says
Wow, Bungholz, you managed to vomit up a sentence without accusing me of being gay. Amazing.
CowboyUp says
How about every experiment or study ever done on “the effect of ambient temperature on water evaporation?” Go ahead, search that term. How about the fact that our machining center coolant tanks go through three times the water in the summer that they go through in the winter? While you’re at it, look up “cloud formation,” there might be a badly needed clue for you in there as well.
Kasandra says
If there was any convincing validity to “catastrophic climate change” theory they wouldn’t have to lie so much about things like this.
Marlow says
Except they’re not lying.
Jeff Bargholz says
CO2 doesn’t cause temperature change but it does nourish all flora, which create air for us to breath. And all life on Earth is carbon based.
You anti science leftists are full of shit. Morons. You’re the same retards who used to whine about a fictional hole in the ozone layer, which actually protects the planet.
Marlow says
How’s the coprophagy coming along, Bungholz?
Jeff Bargholz says
Hows the dick licking coming along, homo? Do you have a mouth full? Got milk?
Marlow says
Lol. You couldn’t resist, could you? Your obsession with homosexuality is rather telling, you know.
Chief Mac says
Tie Chuckles to a lightning pole during a thunderstorm and see how raises taxes works
Ugly Sid says
You Levine! You!
I targeted you and now I gottcha!!
The observation is that, regardless of the nominal topic, the presumption is that all power must be yielded to the Left, to avoid some unfortunate consequence: like the oceans rising and covering pricey private estates, or the oceans falling and exposing walk ways to and from Mongolia, or sections of the sky falling and clouting our poultry upon the cabesa.
All will be fine and remedied by yielding political power to the Left, which, btw, God favors. If He knows what’s good for Him [ or Her, or Them. One can’t be too careful. Some fruitcakes get a little touchy. ]
