       There have been more than 5,800 fires in Canada so far this year, burning more than 15.3 million hectares, according to @CIFFC making it Canada's worst fire season ever. In addition to prompting thousands of evacuations, smoke from this season's fires has led to air quality warnings across the country.#climatecrisishttps://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-14-day-6/clip/16005646-meteorologist-says-extreme-wildfires-cause-cascading-hazards-years

       @wertham If I'm doing the math right, that means an area about the size of the U.S. state of Georgia has burned in the Canadian wildfires this year.Or as my husband helpfully contributed, you could burn all of Maine and throw in South Carolina for good measure.Or you could take Rhode Island out to the woodshed and burn it 58 times.
