I know we’re trying to ignore the climate crisis now…but wildfire season is looming.

“So the worry is that some of our forests are going to become water-stressed earlier this year and that potentially increases the fire risk throughout the forests of North America,”

The watersheds most affected by declining snow water were the Okanagan in B.C., the Assiniboine-Red River basin in Manitoba and the Saskatchewan River basin. The declines could also reduce flows in the Fraser River and the St. Lawrence River, which millions rely on for water and hydropower.

The forest service has been pushing lies about how thinning and clearcuts reduce fires and/or intensity. This is absolutely not true. Here are a couple articles with top scientists shining a light in this "mitigation" and how trump wants to make it even worse with the "fix our forests" act.
