Canada's wildfire issue

inquiry question - how can we prevent these kind of situation?

Wildfires are usually caused by wind, geography, and dry conditions, and there are two main ways we can act to prevent them. The first is to use real-time interactive air quality maps to see how weather, wind, and location can affect the behavior of nearby wildfire smoke; The second is that in windy conditions the smoke will generally mix with a greater volume of air, resulting in lower smoke concentrations, but strong winds can spread the fire faster and cause larger fires with greater impact, so nearby fires Never apply more air to turn it off. Local weather can be a major factor in determining how a fire develops as well as how smoke affects the surrounding area, but local weather systems can have a much greater impact by quickly spreading fires and leading to larger fires with more smoke. can affect Strong local weather systems can also dominate the behavior of fires over several days and can be a factor in determining where and how smoke affects an area.

Blocked roads and rails, cuts in electricity, mobile and landline telephone lines, destroyed homes and industries, and the way many communities live are annual news stories, balancing the scourge of fire with a wealth of articles and editorials. Also, many schools are even closing or preventing children from going out during recess time because of air pollution.

environment

Wildfires release greenhouse gases, gases that warm the atmosphere. Emissions from Canada's wildfires reached 54.8 million tonnes in May, according to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, more than doubling the previous record for that month since the wildfires started, according to 2003 estimates. This is destroying animal habitats or the atmosphere.

summary

economic

As the surrounding roads are closed due to wildfires, people suffer financial hardship when roads are unavailable and people cannot go to work or make deliveries as quickly as they normally would. As smoke from burning Canadian forests blanketed the northeastern United States, major cities were left helpless this week. According to the CBS article, public schools have canceled outdoor activities, companies have sent workers home, performances have been postponed, libraries have been closed, and professional baseball games have been canceled. This disruption of normal city life demonstrates the far-reaching economic damage of climate change.

political

Canada's worst wildfire season in history drove smoke into the Capitol and put MPs in trouble, but it didn't spark a political debate. Instead, the Conservatives' position against the government's opposition was driven by their insistence that the Liberals put forward a balanced budget proposal.
