Why are so many Canadians ignorant of the fact that wildfires will continue to get worse unless fossil fuel burning is drastically reduced? Chris Hatch of Canada's National Observer has some answers. Good article. Note the Natural Resources Canada map.

To be clear: Wildfires are going to get much worse even if we follow a scenario of rapid emissions reduction right NOW. That's because atmospheric heating is built in for 100s to 1000s of years, as pointed out here earlier. But rapid emissions reductions, especially in our combustion of fossil fuels, is necessary to reduce the already built-in catastrophic damage.
