Heat domes and wildfires: New approach needed in extreme weather fight, report author says - National | Globalnews.ca

Governments are facing overlapping crises this season, with COVID-19 and simultaneous wildfires in other provinces and U.S. states limiting the help that’s available, Abbott said.“That should be hugely alarming to us,” Abbott said.

“If that is going to be a phenomenon that repeats itself in future years, and I have no reason to suspect that it won’t, we are going to be vulnerable not only on the fire side of the equation, but also on the flood side,” he said.Abbott said he’s concerned that if future heat waves arrive even earlier in the season they will cause catastrophic floods through a fast snowmelt, in addition to prematurely drying the forest.

The new threat means governments should be drawing together the best science and looking at what’s happened in other places like Australia, he said. “I hope that we will not look at our work in the months ahead as a blame-casting exercise, but rather look at it as our province trying to come to grips with what appears to be a faster paced rate of climate change.”

Two words FORESTRY MANAGEMENT. It not only promotes a healthy forest and new growth; it makes fires easier to fight. Tree huggers are a scourge on the earth & that includes David Suzuki who used to be sane. The old must make way if the new is to flourish. That is how nature is.
