We got more than a million square miles of forest in Canada. We'd have to employ a significant portion of the population to do the things oil companies keep claiming we're supposed to be doing. We've never had to do these things before.

We have been measuring how dry the forests are for a long time now. We know why the forests are burning. They're dried out because of climate change. We know climate change is caused by global warming. We know global warming is caused be increased carbon dioxide in the air. We know burning fossil fuels puts more carbon dioxide into the air. All of these things have been measured, we know the cause.

If the oil companies think paying people to rake the forests, clear the brush or whatever will help, then maybe they should pay people to do these things?
