@BertaAdvantage Can't wait until we get the political drive to wall the city for fire protection

@LDTG117 ok just putting it out there: tailings pond moat

@BertaAdvantage Elections have consequences.

@BertaAdvantage Guy who has heard, every day of his life, that global warming is getting worse: “Who could have predicted this?!”

@BertaAdvantage How about we change the carbon tax to an emergency fund. All the money goes to help pay for firefighters and food and lodging for evacuees from climate emergencies.

@BertaAdvantage I did.

@BertaAdvantage What I also expected was for Albertans to be prepared and ready. With measures in place to prevent another catastrophic fire event that took place only a few years ago.

@BertaAdvantage *five fire seasons in a row* *sixth fire season with another fire* never expected this to happen again

@BertaAdvantage

@BertaAdvantage Who could've predicted (aside from the people who predicted)?

@BertaAdvantage they can’t keep getting away with this

@BertaAdvantage “environment student”

@BertaAdvantage You know how people used to joke about people that built houses in tornado Alley

@BertaAdvantage Makes me wonder what made them think it would never happen again.

@BertaAdvantage Honestly surprised it took this long

@BertaAdvantage Uh... why? What has changed that would prevent wild fires in historically dry forests from descending on a Canadian city? 🤔

@BertaAdvantage I mean presumably the amount of fuel available to burn will eventually deplete and it'll take a few years to build back up.

@BertaAdvantage Warmer temperatures increase the likelihood of fires by altering the timing of plant growth and development, leading to an earlier and more intense fire season. This is particularly concerning in regions like the western United States, where forests are already prone to dryness.

@BertaAdvantage the mental gymnastics are gold medal level

@BertaAdvantage I actually did expect it to happen again
