Volunteer Japanese firefighters, elite trained firefighters, fighting Canadian Wildfire Catastrophe, say the fire destruction is UNLIKE any fire they've fought.

"We always walk forward fighting fire, a steady kiliometer after kilometre" but constant deep climate heat has made roots kindling dry, "we are going a tenth as fast putting out roots"

Canada has burned, is burning, more than 30 million hectares in 30 months.
Bigger than Scotland, and Ireland combined.

The framing of the problem is sub-optimal, at least for effect, also.

A variety of people are running companies doing things which will, stochastically, kill a few of you, more of your children, many of your grandchildren, perhaps all of their children, and doing so for money.
Others are paid to distract you from saving your descendants.

Tends to make people think there are relatively small corrections available earlier in the process.

Privately owned media outlets are a problem when they end up concentrated in just a few hands - as it's happening in the US.

As long as politicians and media can be bought, that will not change. When elections are won by the wealthiest candidates, democracy is lost!

I feel so ashamed about my country.

And so frightened for the world.

N.B. Brazil is really outstanding.

this is such an important point! Concern alone does not result in action.

caring + confidence = action
