The White House has just announced that it wants to hold Canada responsible for forest fires. What a nerve. The village idiot strikes again.
Experts have been repeating this for years. Climate warming, mainly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO2, dries out soils and forests, prolongs droughts and increases the frequency, intensity and duration of fires.
The United States is by far the largest CO2 emitter in North America, with more than 90% of the continent's emissions. They themselves know of major fires, especially in California and in the American West.
They have also massively deforested their territory, built highways everywhere, created huge heat islands and spread their cities over thousands of kilometers. All of this increases heat and destroys natural environments.
The smoke crosses borders. The climate too.
Blaming Canada when the United States produces the vast majority of North American emissions, contributing massively to the greenhouse effect and destroying their own ecosystems, is completely absurd.
Canada is suffering the consequences of a North American problem mainly caused by them. It didn't create it alone.
This president is stupid beyond words.
Good news, even the Americans find it funny. More than half of the reactions on their official pages are
