Is "man made" climate change only limited to the U.S.?

Not at all. I’m surw 10’s of thousands of years ago huge fire were rampant with no one other than mum nature to put them out.

The answer to your question is mu.

Secret decoder ring please

It means you’re not asking the right question. The question you asked doesn’t have a yes or no answer.

Ask again.

Why is the US burning, while canada is less than 10% of their 10 year average?

Yes. About 500 years ago a fire ripped through the western side of Cascade mountains. Now this is west side remind you…the wet side. The side that rains 8 months a year. This fire raged from mid Oregon or so all the way to Canadian border and beyond. Tree rings and the age of old growth told that story…which backs the claims of original NW folks story…native Americans. :wink:

Are you forgetting the 46 million acres that burned in Australia

Shouldn’t Canada be burning then? Why not?

Good question.

The answer would require research, but it’s a question that (theoretically) can be answered.

The way you framed it previously (does climate change stop at the borders?) was silly because the data (lots of fires in Cali, fewer in Canada) could look the same if climate change was a primary driver, or if it wasn’t. Therefore your question had no yes/no answer.

Nothing about climate change indicates that every region of the globe need be as susceptible to forest fires as every other region of the globe…even regions bordering one another.

Not neccessary. They had a wetter season

All of Canada had a weter year? Not buying it sorry.

You can only do so much fire repression before nature has her final say.

What does fire need?

EDMONTON — As wildfires turn the skies apocalyptic along the western seaboard of the United States, it has been a quieter-than-usual wildfire season in western Canada that can be attributed to the mixed blessings of rainy weather and isolating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Why are they getting it and we are not? It’s because of the weather they’re getting,” explains Mike Flannigan, a professor with the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta.
“The warmer it gets, the longer the fire season,” Flannigan explained.

August was one for the record books in Sacramento , including the hottest day on record for the month. SACRAMENTO , Calif. Downtown Sacramento also recorded the hottest temperature ever for the month at 112 degrees. …Sep 3, 2020

There are more environmental regulations now that at any other time in history. US companies are more responsible now than at any other time in history. US manufacturing is not at an all time high.

Yet the incessant whining continues…

It’s a hoax.

And you are right. The Russia collusion hoax was bigger.

Not to mention the most clever.

It’s almost like the Cambodian purge under Pol Pot when he made them go back to using sticks.
