    A warmer climate might mean drying some places, but also will
    increase water vapor for wetter winters in many places,
    causing more fuels to grow, only to dry out more later.

    But I'm sure you already knew all that -- that's what I like about
    you: your attention to detail.

    I think you're 100% right. The "consensus" however seems to be it's
    going to get warmer and in many places dryer.
    some places will get wetter with more precipitation. some places will
    get drier from less precipitation.

    other places (like the boreal forests) will get dryer from more
    precipitation. no places with get wetter from less precipitation.

    Dryer from more precipitation. I'm not sure how that works.

    I think what Nick's trying to say is that more precipitation in some
    places will lead to more understory growth which can lead to more fires
    when it drys out. Just about every place has a relatively dry season,
    even a lot of wet areas.

    It is
    true though that areas with permafrost and perpetual snow are really
    desert like. The snow they do get never entirely melts though, so you
    tend to not notice. The difference for them now is that the
    permafrost is melting and structures are sinking into mud. The
    warming is much more noticeable in the far north. As usenet zen old
    timer Randall Warner, who lived in anchorage, used to bear witness 15
    years ago or so.

    So, yes, much more warming at the poles. And huge chunks of antarctia
    break off and float away now. So it is that the global average temp
    rise is only 1.5 or so degrees right now. Not much right? Hardly
    noticeable to most of us. Except the storms and the fires. Even
    those can be hardly noticeable if you choose. It is still early in
    the process. Denial remains a viable choice.

    Wilson will now tell us we don't have data to support a rise in temp
    over time. Here you go wilson:

    Notice that year to year fluctuation was higher in years past. Since
    1960 the trend is much more steeply up. Breaking wilson's alleged
    cycling. The chart says 95% accuracy, which is about as good as you
    can reasonably get in science.

    Science types say that steep rise in the past 60 years is definitely statistically significant, wilson. Really. Really. I bet you can't
    find a rise like that over 60 years anywhere in your scrounging around
    in past eons.

    You're the one always talking about citing hard scientific articles. A
    chart from USA Today is not reliable because it provides no context.

    The truth is we do not have enough solid data before the 1970s to have
    any reliable idea what "the global average temperature" was before then.
    So go ahead and label your chart with vague "95% confidence interval" statements, that only says that's the confidence based on the data that

    Wilson will now tell us we don't have data to support a rise in temp
    over time. Here you go wilson:

    https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/authoring/authoring-images/2024/01/13/USAT/72214805007-global-average-temperature-berkeley.png?width=660&height=364&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp

    Notice that year to year fluctuation was higher in years past. Since
    1960 the trend is much more steeply up. Breaking wilson's alleged
    cycling. The chart says 95% accuracy, which is about as good as you
    can reasonably get in science.

    Science types say that steep rise in the past 60 years is definitely
    statistically significant, wilson. Really. Really. I bet you can't
    find a rise like that over 60 years anywhere in your scrounging around >>>> in past eons.

    You're the one always talking about citing hard scientific articles. A
    chart from USA Today is not reliable because it provides no context.

    The chart says, Land data prepared by Berkeley Earth and combined with
    ocean data adapted from The UK Hadley Center. Of course, I would not
    include text from USA Today. They are even worse than cnn, nbc, abc,
    cbs.

    As it is, I think the chart speaks for itself quite well, displaying
    true data as it does.

    The truth is we do not have enough solid data before the 1970s to have
    any reliable idea what "the global average temperature" was before then.

    As any clean pig can tell you.

    So go ahead and label your chart with vague "95% confidence interval"
    statements, that only says that's the confidence based on the data that
    they do have (which over most of the world are guesses). It's not
    confidence in that data's accuracy.

    So you accuse. Not so, I would say. Your Marine DI still expects you
    to poopoo louder.

    95% confidence is confident when scientists say it. Because they are
    the ones who know what they are talking about. If confidence is less
    than that, they are quite willing to say so, and do when appropriate.

    That's not what the confidence interval means.

    95% confidence means 95 times out of 100, the data shown will be
    correct. If confidence level is 85%, then you could say +/- 5%
    confidence interval. At 95%, an interval is not especially
    meaningful. 95% is very confident, but 5% room for error is still
    allowed. Because scientists bend over backwards and sideways at the
    same time to be honest about their pronouncements.



    Let's hear that poopoo now, wilson. No holding back.

    Appeal to authority has always been and is still a stupid thing.

    Scientific evidence is not an appeal to authority, and citing such
    evidence is not Appeal to authority, it is a presentation of evidence.
    In that case, the evidence says so, not me or Sam.

    An appeal to authority by me would be if I claimed such and such was
    true because Sam says so with no evidence or confidence level.

    Dryer from more precipitation.a I'm not sure how that works.

    places will lead to more understory growth which can lead to more
    fires when it drys out. Just about every place has a relatively dry

    About which you happen to be wrong.

    There's not much any individual can do to prevent global warming, if
    true. Having said that, we must conclude that you and Nick are both
    soaking in climate change.

    And, it's all your fault!

    Burning Fossil Fuels: Using coal, oil, and natural gas for energy and
    cars releases carbon dioxide.

    Cutting Down Forests: Removing trees reduces the number of plants that
    can absorb carbon dioxide.

    Farming and Industry: Certain agricultural methods and factory processes release methane and other heat-trapping gases.

    So, let me say this:

    You can mitigate the effects of climate change by driving a hybrid auto
    to work; installing solar for energy at home; shop at a local Farmer's
    Market to obtain organic locally grown foods.

    My suggestions, if you take climate change personally:

    Adopt hybrid or electric vehicles for basic transportation.
    Cut down on beef harvesting and farming animal food.
    Build small houses out of fire-proof materials instead of soft wood.
    Join a WhatsApp protest group in favor of nuclear energy and renewables.
    Stop smoking cigars.

    It's not about Wilson or Trump.

    Apparently, wildfires are getting less frequent worldwide, not more,
    as the globe warms.

    apparently ur a fucking idiot dud

    Lightning causes roughly 10% to 15% of wildfires in the United States,
    but accounts for about 45% to 50% of wildfires in Canada.

    Human activity causes approximately 50% (or just under half) of all
    wildfires in Canada, while lightning accounts for the other half.
    <

    for anyone who doesn't want to be one: global fire trends (in
    acreage) are completely dominated by tropical savannas and grasslands
    which are declining in acreage because of land use changes and
    increased fire suppression along with land use changes...

    this trends does not negate the increasing trend in temperate and
    especially boreal forest wildfires

    Humans cause approximately 84% to 90% of all wildfires in the United
    States, according to data from agencies like the National Interagency
    Fire Center and the U.S. National Park Service.

    when accounting for total burn area in the us, lighting ignited
    wildfires burn just over 50%,

    "Approximately 85% to 90% of all wildfires worldwide are caused by human activity rather than natural phenomena like lightning." - National
    Geographic

    whereas in canada, lighting ignition accounts for more like >90% of
    wildfire acreage burned



    Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have pushed California
    toward more strategic planning to prevent the worst wildfire damage,
    saying it would cost too much unbudgeted money.

    KQED NPR:

    California Needs a New Approach to Wildfire Planning

    https://tinyurl.com/4nf4tc94

    President Trump claims Canadian wildfires are caused by "forest
    management." YMMV.

    You seem to take everything personally, Nick.

    appealing to hypocrisy is still a fallacy u subcritical moron,

    while u don't even admit it's a fucking problem dud. first we need the

    trying to solve anything while so many people are denying there is even

    Not true.

    You seem to be living about four decades behind, Sir.

    Because you say so?

    Who's stopping the controlled burns and brush clearing in
    California?
    It's not the foresters.

    I see that happening all the time.

    Hell, we just did some of that up the road to clear out the crap
    in a greenspace.

    What branch of government is in charge of the USFS?-a Who is
    in control of the National Forests that cover a good portion
    of California?

    (Remember Trump with his "rake the forests"?-a What's stopping him?) >>>>>>
    Get with the program, Wilson -- the Native Americans did a better

    It's not about Wilson or Trump.

    Apparently, wildfires are getting less frequent worldwide, not
    more, as the globe warms.

    apparently ur a fucking idiot dud

    Lightning causes roughly 10% to 15% of wildfires in the United
    States, but accounts for about 45% to 50% of wildfires in Canada.

    Human activity causes approximately 50% (or just under half) of all
    wildfires in Canada, while lightning accounts for the other half.
    <

    for anyone who doesn't want to be one: global fire trends (in
    acreage) are completely dominated by tropical savannas and
    grasslands which are declining in acreage because of land use
    changes and increased fire suppression along with land use changes...

    this trends does not negate the increasing trend in temperate and
    especially boreal forest wildfires

    Humans cause approximately 84% to 90% of all wildfires in the United
    States, according to data from agencies like the National Interagency
    Fire Center and the U.S. National Park Service.

    when accounting for total burn area in the us, lighting ignited
    wildfires burn just over 50%,

    "Approximately 85% to 90% of all wildfires worldwide are caused by human activity rather than natural phenomena like lightning." - National Geographic

    which doesn't contradict the fact that lighting ignition accounts for
    more like >90% of wildfire acreage burned, but i get that ur not honest
    enough of a person to comprehend the nature of evidence

    whereas in canada, lighting ignition accounts for more like >90% of
    wildfire acreage burned



    Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have pushed California
    toward more strategic planning to prevent the worst wildfire
    damage, saying it would cost too much unbudgeted money.

    KQED NPR:

    California Needs a New Approach to Wildfire Planning

    https://tinyurl.com/4nf4tc94

    President Trump claims Canadian wildfires are caused by "forest
    management." YMMV.

    The chart says, Land data prepared by Berkeley Earth and combined with

    cbs.

    So you accuse. Not so, I would say. Your Marine DI still expects you
    to poopoo louder.

    95% confidence is confident when scientists say it. Because they are
    the ones who know what they are talking about. If confidence is less
    than that, they are quite willing to say so, and do when appropriate.

    That's not what the confidence interval means.

    95% confidence means 95 times out of 100, the data shown will be
    correct. If confidence level is 85%, then you could say +/- 5%
    confidence interval. At 95%, an interval is not especially
    meaningful. 95% is very confident, but 5% room for error is still
    allowed. Because scientists bend over backwards and sideways at the
    same time to be honest about their pronouncements.

    Fair enough, the Berkeley Earth group has a 95% confidence that the real
    world temps fall within the error lines on that chart. That said the
    lack of measurements across most of the world before the 1970s is a real thing.

    The other issue is that the chart begins at the end of the Little Ice
    Age, which was the coldest period on Earth since the end of the last glaciation. That's something to keep in mind.

    There aren't a lot of studies that have tried to reconstruct temps over
    the past 10k years, but this chart comes from one that seems to be
    highly regarded:

    Fascinating. So 1850 was the end of the coldest period on earth since
    the last glaciation? Who told you such a thing?

    It's pretty well established that the mid-Holocene warm period about 6k
    years ago was followed by a cooling trend (~0.7 C) through the later
    Holocene that reached the coolest levels in the Little Ice Age.

    "The IPCC has described the LIA as a multi-centennial cooler period
    lasting until about 1850.

    Glacier evidence in the European Alps show major advances peaked in the mid-19th century (around 1850rCo1860 in many places), after which glaciers began a sustained retreat.

    Different regions experienced their coldest intervals at different times
    (the 17th century in parts of Europe and North America, mid-19th century
    in other areas)."

    Yes, it looks to me to be not quite as high as the highest estimated
    possible temps from ~6k years ago.

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning

    to repeat again: >90% of the total acreage burned in canada stemmed from lightning ignition. humans accounts for a very small minority of the

    You snipped and then posted my post. Good work!

    That should be a wrap!

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning

    Campfires, equipment use, and accidental sparks and other human

    That's not what the confidence interval means.

    95% confidence means 95 times out of 100, the data shown will be
    correct. If confidence level is 85%, then you could say +/- 5%
    confidence interval. At 95%, an interval is not especially
    meaningful. 95% is very confident, but 5% room for error is still
    allowed. Because scientists bend over backwards and sideways at the
    same time to be honest about their pronouncements.

    Fair enough, the Berkeley Earth group has a 95% confidence that the real >>> world temps fall within the error lines on that chart. That said the
    lack of measurements across most of the world before the 1970s is a real >>> thing.

    You are deceived.

    The other issue is that the chart begins at the end of the Little Ice
    Age, which was the coldest period on Earth since the end of the last
    glaciation. That's something to keep in mind.

    Fascinating. So 1850 was the end of the coldest period on earth since
    the last glaciation? Who told you such a thing?

    It's pretty well established that the mid-Holocene warm period about 6k >years ago was followed by a cooling trend (~0.7 C) through the later >Holocene that reached the coolest levels in the Little Ice Age.

    "The IPCC has described the LIA as a multi-centennial cooler period
    lasting until about 1850.

    Glacier evidence in the European Alps show major advances peaked in the >mid-19th century (around 1850u1860 in many places), after which glaciers >began a sustained retreat.

    Different regions experienced their coldest intervals at different times >(the 17th century in parts of Europe and North America, mid-19th century
    in other areas)."

    "Evidence from mountain glaciers does suggest increased glaciation in
    a number of widely spread regions outside Europe prior to the
    twentieth century, including Alaska, New Zealand and Patagonia.
    However, the timing of maximum glacial advances in these regions
    differs considerably, suggesting that they may represent largely
    independent regional climate changes, not a globally-synchronous
    increased glaciation. Thus current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this interval,
    and the conventional terms of "Little Ice Age" and "Medieval Warm
    Period" appear to have limited utility in describing trends in
    hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries. ...
    [Viewed] hemispherically, the "Little Ice Age" can only be considered
    as a modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this period of
    less than 1#C relative to late twentieth century levels.[3]"

    Modest cooling. "Little Ice Age" might be a little overstated.


    There aren't a lot of studies that have tried to reconstruct temps over
    the past 10k years, but this chart comes from one that seems to be
    highly regarded:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0530-7/figures/3

    Actually, I think this graph shows exactly what I have been talking
    about. Look to the far right of the graph. Do you see something
    alarming? For a better look, go to the close up view below the big
    graph. What do you see to the far right?

    Yes, it looks to me to be not quite as high as the highest estimated >possible temps from ~6k years ago.

    I don't think you are looking at that far right meteoric climb. You
    see the same effect here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

    where you can see the lia relative to recent temps. Are you still in
    denial? Of course you are.

    what _is_ even the cause of the "greater cycle" ya dingus??? lol

    The underlying question is, what drives the changes in Earth's climate?

    It's not CO2 alone.

    Lately that is the dominant cause.

    So, earth's climate changes is due to a mix of human actions and natural forces. Natural causes also play a role over long periods.

    Apparently, you are guilty as charged. You're soaking in it

    Burning coal, oil, and gas to generate energy. Cutting down forests.
    Driving an ice truck to Tim's for coffee and a a doughnut.

    So, when guys like AL Gore start acting like it's a crisis, maybe I will
    start believing in global warming.

    And, you and Nick are doing nothing, deniers. Let's not be hypocritical.

    Note: Natural causes also play a role over long periods.

    Excuse me, but what *idiot* told you _that_?

    A warmer climate might mean drying some places, but also will
    increase water vapor for wetter winters in many places,

    But I'm sure you already knew all that -- that's what I like about

    I think you're 100% right. The "consensus" however seems to be it's

    ThererCOs always been wildfires!

    There's always been deniers.

    Only you can prevent forest fires!

    It's not about Wilson or Trump.

    Apparently, wildfires are getting less frequent worldwide, not
    more, as the globe warms.

    apparently ur a fucking idiot dud

    Lightning causes roughly 10% to 15% of wildfires in the United
    States, but accounts for about 45% to 50% of wildfires in Canada.

    Human activity causes approximately 50% (or just under half) of all
    wildfires in Canada, while lightning accounts for the other half.
    <

    for anyone who doesn't want to be one: global fire trends (in
    acreage) are completely dominated by tropical savannas and
    grasslands which are declining in acreage because of land use
    changes and increased fire suppression along with land use changes... >>>>>
    this trends does not negate the increasing trend in temperate and
    especially boreal forest wildfires

    Humans cause approximately 84% to 90% of all wildfires in the United
    States, according to data from agencies like the National
    Interagency Fire Center and the U.S. National Park Service.

    when accounting for total burn area in the us, lighting ignited
    wildfires burn just over 50%,

    "Approximately 85% to 90% of all wildfires worldwide are caused by
    human activity rather than natural phenomena like lightning." -
    National Geographic

    which doesn't contradict the fact that lighting ignition accounts for
    more like >90% of wildfire acreage burned, but i get that ur not honest enough of a person to comprehend the nature of evidence

    Nearly 85 percent* of wild land fires in the United States are caused by humans.

    Wildfires and climate change feed into each other. It's a feedback loop. There's always been wildfires and always will be.

    As fires burn, they release massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. This trapped carbon warms the atmosphere further, which cycles back to create even drier and more dangerous fire conditions in the future.

    Hope this helps.



    whereas in canada, lighting ignition accounts for more like >90% of
    wildfire acreage burned



    Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have pushed California >>>>>> toward more strategic planning to prevent the worst wildfire
    damage, saying it would cost too much unbudgeted money.

    KQED NPR:

    California Needs a New Approach to Wildfire Planning

    President Trump claims Canadian wildfires are caused by "forest
    management." YMMV.

    There you go, a sample of what sanity sounds like.

    Speaking of sanity. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.

    In California, some conservation groups oppose controlled burns and
    brush clearing. Why?

    Their opposition is typically driven by concerns over the immediate
    ecological disruption, air quality, wildlife and habitat impact.

    And, don't rule out the risk of a managed burn that could accidentally
    jump containment lines and turn into a destructive wildfire during
    shifting weather, like sudden whirlwinds, blusters, dust bunnies and
    even and gale force winds in a tornado.

    maybe if ur an idiot seeking confirmation bias rather than truth.

    You snipped this out:

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning
    strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    Thousands of natural lightning strikes triggered remote forest
    ignitions, particularly in western Canada and Ontario.

    That should be a wrap you snipped my reply again. Truth to the power

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning

    to repeat again: >90% of the total acreage burned in canada stemmed
    from lightning ignition. humans accounts for a very small minority of

    You snipped and then posted my post. Good work!

    That should be a wrap!

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning
    strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    the overwhelming majority of the acreage burned was done by lightning
    ignited fires. and droughts aren't "seasonal". climate change caused temperature increases is pulling moisture out of the ecology, making everything more flammable

    It's not about Wilson or Trump.

    Apparently, wildfires are getting less frequent worldwide, not
    more, as the globe warms.

    apparently ur a fucking idiot dud

    Lightning causes roughly 10% to 15% of wildfires in the United
    States, but accounts for about 45% to 50% of wildfires in Canada.

    Human activity causes approximately 50% (or just under half) of all >>>>> wildfires in Canada, while lightning accounts for the other half.
    <

    for anyone who doesn't want to be one: global fire trends (in
    acreage) are completely dominated by tropical savannas and
    grasslands which are declining in acreage because of land use
    changes and increased fire suppression along with land use changes... >>>>>>
    this trends does not negate the increasing trend in temperate and >>>>>> especially boreal forest wildfires

    Humans cause approximately 84% to 90% of all wildfires in the
    United States, according to data from agencies like the National
    Interagency Fire Center and the U.S. National Park Service.

    when accounting for total burn area in the us, lighting ignited
    wildfires burn just over 50%,

    "Approximately 85% to 90% of all wildfires worldwide are caused by
    human activity rather than natural phenomena like lightning." -
    National Geographic

    which doesn't contradict the fact that lighting ignition accounts for
    more like >90% of wildfire acreage burned, but i get that ur not
    honest enough of a person to comprehend the nature of evidence

    Nearly 85 percent* of wild land fires in the United States are caused by humans.

    50% of the acreage was burned by lightning ignited fires.


    Wildfires and climate change feed into each other. It's a feedback loop. There's always been wildfires and always will be.

    As fires burn, they release massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. This trapped carbon warms the atmosphere further, which cycles back to create even drier and more dangerous fire conditions in the future.

    thank dudgpt


    Hope this helps.



    whereas in canada, lighting ignition accounts for more like >90% of
    wildfire acreage burned

    95% confidence means 95 times out of 100, the data shown will be

    The other issue is that the chart begins at the end of the Little Ice
    Age, which was the coldest period on Earth since the end of the last

    Fascinating. So 1850 was the end of the coldest period on earth since
    the last glaciation? Who told you such a thing?

    It's pretty well established that the mid-Holocene warm period about 6k
    years ago was followed by a cooling trend (~0.7 C) through the later
    Holocene that reached the coolest levels in the Little Ice Age.

    "The IPCC has described the LIA as a multi-centennial cooler period
    lasting until about 1850.

    Glacier evidence in the European Alps show major advances peaked in the
    mid-19th century (around 1850rCo1860 in many places), after which glaciers >> began a sustained retreat.

    Different regions experienced their coldest intervals at different times
    (the 17th century in parts of Europe and North America, mid-19th century
    in other areas)."

    "Evidence from mountain glaciers does suggest increased glaciation in
    a number of widely spread regions outside Europe prior to the
    twentieth century, including Alaska, New Zealand and Patagonia.
    However, the timing of maximum glacial advances in these regions
    differs considerably, suggesting that they may represent largely
    independent regional climate changes, not a globally-synchronous
    increased glaciation. Thus current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this interval,

    As it is, I think the chart speaks for itself quite well,
    displaying
    true data as it does.

    The truth is we do not have enough solid data before the 1970s >>>>>>>>> to have
    any reliable idea what "the global average temperature" was >>>>>>>>> before then.

    As any clean pig can tell you.

    So go ahead and label your chart with vague "95% confidence >>>>>>>>> interval"

    So you accuse.-a Not so, I would say.-a Your Marine DI still
    expects you
    to poopoo louder.

    95% confidence is confident when scientists say it.-a Because >>>>>>>> they are

    than that, they are quite willing to say so, and do when
    appropriate.

    That's not what the confidence interval means.

    95% confidence means 95 times out of 100, the data shown will be
    correct.-a If confidence level is 85%, then you could say +/- 5%
    confidence interval.-a At 95%, an interval is not especially
    meaningful.-a 95% is very confident, but 5% room for error is still >>>>>> allowed.-a Because scientists bend over backwards and sideways at the >>>>>> same time to be honest about their pronouncements.

    Fair enough, the Berkeley Earth group has a 95% confidence that the >>>>> real
    world temps fall within the error lines on that chart. That said the >>>>> lack of measurements across most of the world before the 1970s is a >>>>> real
    thing.

    You are deceived.

    The other issue is that the chart begins at the end of the Little Ice >>>>> Age, which was the coldest period on Earth since the end of the last >>>>> glaciation. That's something to keep in mind.

    Fascinating.-a So 1850 was the end of the coldest period on earth since >>>> the last glaciation?-a Who told you such a thing?

    It's pretty well established that the mid-Holocene warm period about 6k
    years ago was followed by a cooling trend (~0.7 C) through the later
    Holocene that reached the coolest levels in the Little Ice Age.

    "The IPCC has described the LIA as a multi-centennial cooler period
    lasting until about 1850.

    Glacier evidence in the European Alps show major advances peaked in the
    mid-19th century (around 1850rCo1860 in many places), after which glaciers >>> began a sustained retreat.

    Different regions experienced their coldest intervals at different times >>> (the 17th century in parts of Europe and North America, mid-19th century >>> in other areas)."

    "Evidence from mountain glaciers does suggest increased glaciation in
    a number of widely spread regions outside Europe prior to the
    twentieth century, including Alaska, New Zealand and Patagonia.
    However, the timing of maximum glacial advances in these regions
    differs considerably, suggesting that they may represent largely
    independent regional climate changes, not a globally-synchronous
    increased glaciation. Thus current evidence does not support globally
    synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this interval,
    and the conventional terms of "Little Ice Age" and "Medieval Warm
    Period" appear to have limited utility in describing trends in
    hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries. ...
    [Viewed] hemispherically, the "Little Ice Age" can only be considered
    as a modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this period of
    less than 1-#C relative to late twentieth century levels.[3]"

    Modest cooling.-a "Little Ice Age" might be a little overstated.


    There aren't a lot of studies that have tried to reconstruct temps
    over
    the past 10k years, but this chart comes from one that seems to be
    highly regarded:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0530-7/figures/3

    Actually, I think this graph shows exactly what I have been talking
    about.-a Look to the far right of the graph.-a Do you see something
    alarming?-a For a better look, go to the close up view below the big
    graph.-a What do you see to the far right?

    Yes, it looks to me to be not quite as high as the highest estimated
    possible temps from ~6k years ago.

    I don't think you are looking at that far right meteoric climb.-a You
    see the same effect here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

    where you can see the lia relative to recent temps.-a Are you still in
    denial?-a Of course you are.

    Current temps are by most estimates about the same as 6kya. Some will
    claim that we are higher now. Some say not quite as high yet.


    yeah but wilson u don't even trust paleoclimatic reconstruction so what

    Current temps are by most estimates about the same as 6kya. Some
    will claim that we are higher now. Some say not quite as high yet.

    yeah but wilson u don't even trust paleoclimatic reconstruction so
    what do u even know, eh?

    You said this before and I don't know why. They are using proxies,
    but I think the reconstructions do have value.


    because you've literally claimed multiple times now that u don't
    trust paleoclimatic reconstruction for the past century.

    (cause you want to be able to keep denying that warming greatly
    accelerated in the 2nd half of the 20th century)

    i get that ur basically completely retarded but that is what you've
    been doing

    I've criticized some reconstructions of the ancient climate. That
    doesn't mean I think they're all crap.


    yeah u criticized that which doesn't support your position, and
    apparently are directly admitting that you cherry pick that which does support your position ...

    even if the part you're arbitrarily deciding to "criticize" is a reconstruction of more recent history with inherently more data points
    in support of it

    u have literally zero idea what the fuck ur doing wilson, ideologues do
    be like that

    Alright then, that should be a wrap. The unspoken truth, by consensus:

    All informants on this list have zero idea what they are doing about wildfires.

    Where's Creon?

    Good work!

    I've criticized some reconstructions of the ancient climate. That
    doesn't mean I think they're all crap.


    yeah u criticized that which doesn't support your position, and
    apparently are directly admitting that you cherry pick that which does
    support your position ...

    even if the part you're arbitrarily deciding to "criticize" is a
    reconstruction of more recent history with inherently more data points
    in support of it

    u have literally zero idea what the fuck ur doing wilson, ideologues

    That should be a wrap!

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning
    strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    the overwhelming majority of the acreage burned was done by lightning
    ignited fires. and droughts aren't "seasonal". climate change caused
    temperature increases is pulling moisture out of the ecology, making
    everything more flammable

    Don't forget human activity. Roughly 84% to 90% of all wildfires in
    the United States are caused by humans. Just saying.

    that's right u dumb boomer cunt: keep ignoring the fact that 55% of the acreage actually burned is by lightning ignited fires. we could end all human ignition and still be left with 55% of the problem, that would
    still be growing

    it is incredibly how ungodly stupid ur average dud is

    So, let me say this, it is very difficult for any individual to control lightening strikes that ignite forest wildfires.

    Having said that, Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of
    natural lightning strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    There have always been droughts - it's seasonal.

    90% of the canadian acreage burned was caused by lightning strikes,
    worsened by an increasing soil moisture deficient caused by rapidly

    my idea is that it's too labor/energy intensive to so do and therefore
    the forests will mostly burn down

    That's one idea - just evacuate Quebec and let it burn itself out.

    where are they gunna move dud???

    The United States is actively helping Canada fight its wildfires.

    New England and mid-Atlantic states.

    You snipped and then posted my post. Good work!

    That should be a wrap!

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning >>>>>> strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    the overwhelming majority of the acreage burned was done by
    lightning ignited fires. and droughts aren't "seasonal". climate
    change caused temperature increases is pulling moisture out of the
    ecology, making everything more flammable

    Don't forget human activity. Roughly 84% to 90% of all wildfires in
    the United States are caused by humans. Just saying.

    that's right u dumb boomer cunt: keep ignoring the fact that 55% of
    the acreage actually burned is by lightning ignited fires. we could
    end all human ignition and still be left with 55% of the problem,
    that would still be growing

    it is incredibly how ungodly stupid ur average dud is

    So, let me say this, it is very difficult for any individual to
    control lightening strikes that ignite forest wildfires.

    good job dud, the wildfire problem is one that individuals can control
    very much. only talking about what individuals can control will
    invariably miss what collectively we can do something about.

    Having said that, Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of
    natural lightning strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    90% of the canadian acreage burned was caused by lightning strikes, worsened by an increasing soil moisture deficient caused by rapidly increasing air temps. temps have risen between 1.5C to 3C since the preindustrial baseline for the boreal forest, quite a bit faster than
    the 1.2C to 1.4C global average.

    there is no reason to not expect these trends to continue

    Maybe not if you don't change your ways and get on the program! YMMV.

    Obviously, the Messiah will restore the planet when he comes back for
    dinner. So no worries. Relax. Have a cigar.



    There have always been droughts - it's seasonal.

    droughts are by definition not seasonal u moron

    Droughts occur every dry season since before time. That's why they call

    glad to see ur starting to admit ur absolute ignorance dud

    So, you're idea is to clean up brush in the boreal forest?

    my idea is that it's too labor/energy intensive to so do and
    therefore the forests will mostly burn down

    That's one idea - just evacuate Quebec and let it burn itself out.

    where are they gunna move dud???

    They will be evacuated out of the boreal forest and let it burn down.
    There's not much an individual cam do.

    The United States is actively helping Canada fight its wildfires.
    Hundreds of U.S. firefighting personnel, state-level crews, such as
    from New England and mid-Atlantic states.

    You snipped and then posted my post. Good work!

    That should be a wrap!

    Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural
    lightning strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    the overwhelming majority of the acreage burned was done by
    lightning ignited fires. and droughts aren't "seasonal". climate
    change caused temperature increases is pulling moisture out of the >>>>>> ecology, making everything more flammable

    Don't forget human activity. Roughly 84% to 90% of all wildfires in >>>>> the United States are caused by humans. Just saying.

    that's right u dumb boomer cunt: keep ignoring the fact that 55% of
    the acreage actually burned is by lightning ignited fires. we could
    end all human ignition and still be left with 55% of the problem,
    that would still be growing

    it is incredibly how ungodly stupid ur average dud is

    So, let me say this, it is very difficult for any individual to
    control lightening strikes that ignite forest wildfires.

    good job dud, the wildfire problem is one that individuals can control
    very much. only talking about what individuals can control will
    invariably miss what collectively we can do something about.

    Having said that, Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of
    natural lightning strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

    90% of the canadian acreage burned was caused by lightning strikes,
    worsened by an increasing soil moisture deficient caused by rapidly
    increasing air temps. temps have risen between 1.5C to 3C since the
    preindustrial baseline for the boreal forest, quite a bit faster than
    the 1.2C to 1.4C global average.

    there is no reason to not expect these trends to continue

    Maybe not if you don't change your ways and get on the program! YMMV.

    as soon as there is actual program, i'm willing to change.

    Obviously, the Messiah will restore the planet when he comes back for dinner. So no worries.-a Relax. Have a cigar.


    There have always been droughts - it's seasonal.

    droughts are by definition not seasonal u moron

    Droughts occur every dry season since before time. That's why they call
    them the "Dust Bowls".

    that's _still_ not what a drought is. i mean you can keep using words

    Alright then, that should be a wrap. The unspoken truth, by
    consensus:

    All informants on this list have zero idea what they are doing
    about wildfires.


    glad to see ur starting to admit ur absolute ignorance dud

    So, you're idea is to clean up brush in the boreal forest?

    my idea is that it's too labor/energy intensive to so do and
    therefore the forests will mostly burn down

    That's one idea - just evacuate Quebec and let it burn itself out.

    where are they gunna move dud???

    They will be evacuated out of the boreal forest and let it burn down. There's not much an individual cam do.

    evacuated to where dud???

    The United States is actively helping Canada fight its wildfires.
    Hundreds of U.S. firefighting personnel, state-level crews, such as
    from New England and mid-Atlantic states.
