3 Million Acres Burned Down In Alaska This Year Thousands Of Fires Burn In Western Canada!
California drought is related to Alaska's and Western Canada's deforestation generated fires
The US government has few resources to put out fires since it is illegally spending trillions of the people's
taxes to start bomb and drone fires elsewhere.
Weekend Edition of NPR reported that 300 fires this summer developed into 3 million burned acres in Alaska.
NPR reported that 10,000 acres have burned in Canada, an area the size of Massachusetts.
Others note that had Alaska state troopers spent time helping put out the fires
rather than illegally detaining people to search their cars for pot, some of this could have been prevented.
Since Alaska trees like all trees evaporate many gallons of moisture daily which becomes
mist and then clouds and rain, the lack of federal and local fire extinguishing
has meant drought for California.
Now in July in Western Canada, THOUSANDS of fires burn. Mexico, Australia, New Zealand
have sent crews to help.
These fires have been set by the policies
of the Koch Brothers, Prime Minister Harper,
oil companies, and all others who have turned forestland
into empty moonscape in their fracking for toxic shale oil
Republican oil-industry installed Alaska governors
like Sarah Palin did nothing to protect
the forests.
Toxic smoke covers parts of Wisconsin and North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana with smoke veils in Colorado and Tennessee.
Canadian fire officials report some of the fires burning now may still be burning next year.
lightless nestlings burned alive
Bees on fire
in their hives
Trees, burning pillars,
none can revive.
To put out these fires
feds and state
did not strive
