Bet those windmills would be nice to have now.
Old Man Yells at Cloud
This comes from the rake the forests guy.
Nowadays he alternates between old man yelling at cloud and batshit insane.
Can't ICE just shoot the dirty air for moving in the general direction of one of those masked goons? They could fear for their life or something.
Hmm when compensation from America since they are now invading us with vile smoke from Oregon and Idaho at this very moment?
Our windmills arent actually windmills, they're fans, and we're blowing all the smoke at you!
I always wondered how they made the wind...
You promised to spend that money on rakes!!
Jesus Christ he is stupid
Seriously. I've said this many times before.
Not everything Rump says is newsworthy. Reporters need to learn when to ignore the moron.
Rump breathing == media profit. Outrage sells after all.
I think the hope is, if they talk enough about the stupid shit he's saying, his fan base will finally see what an idiot he is. But, alas, his fan base is fucking dumber somehow. And yes, it's getting really old hearing this shit every fucking day.
Dump:"Not many people know there's a "b" in that word, dumb."
Jim Bob:"Trump is so smart."
It's been 10 years of this guy and you're still hopeful about it? Most magats never hear about this stuff and when they do they lie about it.
His fans don't listen to the news that reports on the dumb shit he says, they just twist everything he and his say into something vaguely meaningful to them.
Trying to blame his own butt stench on Canada.
Maybe the smell is coming from the Epstein files. Try airing 'em out!
Interesting... Though not nearly as interesting as the epstein files. WHERE ARE THEY!?
Drill baby drill.
Ps. This applies also to our pipeline-suckling prime minister.
This is what happens when we don't vote. GET OUT AND VOTE!
It would probably be good if the governments of North America could come together and discuss how to more responsibly and sustainably manage their forests. Beyond increasing temperatures caused by climate change, the recent intensity of summer fires on this continent are also driven by the fact that we no longer do controlled burns of forest lands evolved to regularly burn, leading to accumulated dry underbrush. We treat our managed forests like farms, monocropping species onto dry hills that are better adapted for wetter, more diverse ravines. We woefully underfund the departments tasked with doing these things. As bad as climate change is, these summer fires could be way more mild if only we could hold our governing bodies to be more responsible. But I guess that's where the climate change ultimately came from, too.
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?
There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.
Canada's fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).
Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).
BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.
Blah blah blah.
Suck it up, butterrump.
I just wish he actually cared.
FUCKING DUMBASS
Build a wall, idiot.
Canada must pay for the wall and it must be tall enough to block smog!
And deep enough to block, I don't know, knives. And quarries.
He's going to let wind farms poop up, so they can blow the smoke back... or tell'em to rake up the leaves.
... and Mr Trump knows all about filthy invasions.
So this is where he gets cancer and croaks? Cuz I've probably have my cancer and probably will croak. Hopefully after him. I don't want to miss it when he does. C'mon pretzel! 🥜 Peanut! Get in there!
That sounds like something that Trump would say.
How much polution the usa caused with all the illegal wars it did and the sale of wespons to other hostilr countries and militia?
Sounds like a scrapped plotline from Infinite Jest
There's no smoke without tariffs
Rare correct trump. Wildfires in the sense of massive uncontrolled blazes are a hazard and are not unavoidable. Taxing and sanctioning countries that endanger their neighbors is sensible.
It is only a farce when you remember who said it.
