I dont understand why this is a fed house issue? Or why it is am issue. Its not like forests and forest management is a new concept in that state.

This is global not just the states!!! BC has been hit with the worst droyght in years! For the first time our well is completely dry!! Our forest fires are the worst in 100 yrs many towns around us are on fire an being exacuated even if we were told to leave where do u go when fires are up from us and fown from us were trapped in the middle of 6 fires! No way out even if we were told to leave we couldnt!
This has been the worst yr of forest fires droughts everywhere leaving the forest so dry the last storm with thunder lightening are a recipe for devastation! It caused over 1000 new fires! They are back burning to try save our town everyday is so smoky its dangerous to go out into the smoke esp people with lung problems asthma elderly people ...
u only talk about the states like its the capital of the planet ... lots of countries including ours is being affected... 0we have 1000s of people being displaced then to see americans asking why we dont take care of the forests? Do they relize how huge BC is obviously not its a vast full of trees to large for simply saying "why dont they take care of their forests" bcus its huge beyond conception... every year its worse worse this was the most scariest time being fires so close to our town!
The world needs to wake up and start helping each other and stop pointing fingers an just unite! As a whole people not separated .. come together in times of crisis.
