Canada drought leads to wildfires again. Evacuations in Alaska prompted by smoke.

Hopefully not foreshadowing a repeat of last year. I've never seen smoke like that around here. Although what we got was surely nowhere as bad, it was a bit of a wake-up call to what our brothers out west have been dealing with, for many years.

It's about time they start allowing some minimal grazing to remove some underbrush which makes these fires so hard to fight. I know this is nature but the massiveness of the problem could be easily controlled with an advantage of providing food.

How dare you propose something so simple and natural, don't you know that the government bureaucratic idiots know so much more then you.

Fire is natural, also. However, it doesn't mix well with our current population, so it makes more sense to mimic it in other ways... removing brush and cutting trees.

Coastline numbers.

Florida: 8,436 miles
Louisiana: 7,721 miles
Maine: 3,478 miles
California: 3,427 miles

Alaska is just under 34,000 miles.

agree...that's why they suggested raking the forest floor a few years ago.

I think they're all up here now. Don't ever recall them when I was a kid. Maybe too hot for them now where you are?

Well, I'm not THAT far down. Maybe the heat ran them out? IDK, most likely the fire ants ran them out, what they didn't eat.
