My appearance of Fox News Friday night has generated quite a bit of interest – Watch.

Heartland Institution senior fellow Anthony Watts breaks down the science behind the Canadian wildfires on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
BACKGROUND:
It has happened before “climate change” was even known:
May 19, 1780 – In the midst of the Revolutionary War, darkness descends on New England at midday. Many people think Judgment Day is at hand. It will be remembered as New England’s Dark Day. Diaries of the preceding days mention smoky air and a red sun at morning and evening.

The 1825 Dee, or Great Miramichi Fire, or Great Fire of Miramichi, as it came to be known, was a massive forest fire complex that devastated forests and communities throughout much of northern New Brunswick in October 1825. It ranks among the three largest forest fires ever recorded in North America.

Wildfires were actually much worse in the past.
This graphic, using data from the National Interagency Fire Center – NIFC, shows that in the 1920’s and 1930’s, wildfire acreage burned was far greater than today.

Satellite Data shows that globally, wildfires are decreasing.

Temperatures in the United States are virtually unchanged from 2005, when a new state-of-the-art climate monitoring system called the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was put in place by NOAA. However, this data is never reported to the news media on NOAA’s climate reports for the United States.

Did anything like this happen when Sherman marched to the sea ?
Here at my central Indiana home we had a slow soaker from about 09:30 through the rest of the day. We needed it. It had gotten dry enough that I have been holding off burning the sticks and cardboard in my fire pit. So everything got a good watering including the crops which are at that critical stage where a good rain can have a significant impact on yield. But we could use another inch or more of rain this week to get back up to where we should be this time of year. Just brought Buckley our new rescue in from doing his business and the deck is still wet with a bit of a breeze. Temp 56 deg. Wind is supposed to pick up today to 20 mph with gusts to 30.
Another side benefit of the rain is that it cleared the air of the smoke from the fires up in Canada and so today for the first time in a week or more there will be no air quality alert here. Humidity at 95% but the forecast high this mostly to partly cloudy day is only 66 deg. And so with the wind it is feeling quite cool for an early summer day.
We had couple of days of smoke from wild fires in Quebec in Philadelphia in 2002-3 (?). Same situation as the recently. There was dry spell in the North East which resulted fires in Canada and NJ and many other places, common during dry spells.
But now it is impossible to find anything about the East Coast smoke from the Quebec fires in early 2000’s and any other time because of the total saturation of the internet with stories about the recent fire and it’s impact with claims of climate change.
I cannot find any information of the frequency of wild fires in Quebec and their impact on the East coast. Probably because no one cared until now because of current propaganda impact of smoke on the East Coast.
So trudough says he wants to get more firefighters involved but refused to use some of his older and just retired Canadian fighters and asked for some to come from overseas, now that is true nationalism if I have ever seen it(sarc)This global 30% approved hack and Klausaferian is taking down his own country one dead tree at a time. This madness is in full bloom. I pay attention to the CC agenda and they have all hands on deck and must be stopped as they push the biggest lie ever told in human history
‘Green’ policies spark wildfires;

Darren Evans, Professor of Ecology and Conservation at Newcastle University, said that climate models are predicting summers in the UK will “continue to become hotter, drier and more like those of southern Europe” which will mean that wildfires “may well increase in frequency here”.
Professor Evans added that the trend of increasing wildfires “recorded each year in the UK” is “linked to the changing climate and is likely to continue.”
You have been warned! The ‘models’ are predicting …..!
