Climate warning

The intensity of wildfires appears to have risen due to Danielle's government's reluctance to address climate change

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith delivered a tearful update on the wildfire devastation in Jasper, where a rapidly spreading fire destroyed homes and historic sites. She acknowledged the bravery of firefighters who faced overwhelming flames but faced criticism for her previous dismissal of climate change as a factor in worsening wildfires. Despite evidence linking climate change to increased fire intensity, Smith had previously suggested that arson was a significant cause of the record-breaking wildfires. Additionally, her government has reduced funding for wildfire response, raising concerns about preparedness.
As wildfires become more frequent and intense, it is essential for leaders to address the underlying causes, including climate change and resource management, rather than deflecting responsibility or attributing blame elsewhere.

          Danielle Smith needs to do better for her people, any place that is prone to wildfires must have enough resources to fight the fires.
