They know how to read, but the problem is that they are amazing at logical fallacies and poster children for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The combination brings us DCUM democrats.

Go on. What's your suggestion there, Dunning-Kruger? Bedazzle us with your cognitive ability.

The irony of concrete thinkers insisting on the most literal, pedantic interpretation of a thread title while obtusely missing the main point, so they can faceplant on a six inch intellectual toddler hoop. Screaming “GOTCHA!” over and over lets them avoid actual discussion.

And if anyone mentions controlling floods so as not to kill innocent children, I bet you'd whine that this isn't the right time. It's never the right time to point out that the US can't control it's own wildfires and flash floods, isn't it?

Terminal hypocrite.

Nuance isn't your strong suit. No human could have stopped the flash flood that happened in Texas. But humans had the means to control the LA wildfires, but incompetence and bureaucracy won in that scenario.

No, you are wrong. There would have been way fewer deaths, if any at all, if Texas had taken flood risk seriously and funded warning systems. This has been explained at length in the media in recent days. Same for the wildfires - you cannot stop them from occurring, but you can prevent deaths and limit damage by having strict building codes and controlled deforestation practices.

You can't see that because you are hell-bent on fitting facts to suit your political beliefs.

Do conservatives know how to read a map? The vast majority of burned acreage is occurring in the Boreal forest, hundreds of miles from any settlement. This is unmanaged Forest, more remote than the interior of Alaska. The idea that Canada is going to send a chainsaw crew to “manage” this ecosystem is laughable.

That’s a lot of forest to rake. C’mon, Canada, hop to it! /s

One of the scary things about Canadian forest fires is their ability to overwinter. With warmer temperatures, fires can smolder underneath the snowpack for months and come back to life in the spring.

I love the tone deafness of the wildfire smoke making it difficult to “enjoy time outdoors…creating new memories” for their constituents, as if ruining a barbecue thousands of miles to the south is the worst thing about the fires, and not the loss of lives and property damage.

“Can you keep the screaming down? I’m trying to nap”, as your neighbor is being murdered.

And what exactly are they supposed to do about arson? Put game cameras on every tree?

OMG, you people are such bad faith dimwits. Who ties your shoes for you? Nobody said the letter literally comes out and asks Canada to control the weather. The title of the thread is an ironic joke highlighting the impossibility of this demand, as in “they’re asking for the moon”. When they demand that Canada stop its forest fires, the only way Canada can do that is by altering the weather conditions, because they are the actual root cause. The letter writers leave that out because they don’t understand, or care, enough to do any real research.

The letter is dumb, but asking Canada to better manage its forests is not asking it to change the weather. Forest management is a science and Canada is not practicing it well, if at all.

And, ahem, the OP said "Congress members send a letter asking Canada to control the weather." I take her word that she actually believes this is what the letter said.

The shame of being American continues. The US is a disaster with raging fires, floods killing Americans, tornadoes that can wipe out a whole town, hurricanes with names. But the Republicans thought it might be a good time to tell Canada that their weather disasters are bothering us.

Yep, because we are a role model for climate control and self control. Aholes

Canada has 367 million hectares of forest. That's over 900 million acres. So go ahead and science us. What's the plan?

I took OP’s reference to be a head nod toward the effects of climate change and how the right glosses over the signs of climate change, reduces the matter to one of forest management alone, and ties it all up in a bow with tone deaf prattling.

It’s more the hypocrisy. We have a president that the world laughs at the reason being he’s a complete moron. He wants to eliminate FEMA until he sees what happens without them. He wants to eliminate weather services until people died from extreme weather.

Neither country get an A in forest management but Canada was there when LA area was burning with their unique equipment. Some US firefighters are in Canada. There is no excuse to send Canada an insulting letter. They already know.

The weather itself cannot be controlled.

+1000 Lecturing Canada about a problem the US helped create.

All that burning carbon isn’t going to help matters, either.

I didn’t read the thread title that way. Even if OP changed it to be less sarcastic, it wouldn’t change the basic issue, which is that whoever wrote it has their head in the sand and doesn’t know the first thing about why the wildfires are happening.

How do you know OP is female?

Girl, people have been naming things for a long time. The Santa Ana winds (LA fires) have been named since the 1800s, and hurricanes have been named since the 1950s. Tornades happen every spring with the change if seasons. Natural disasters have been happening for eons.

Agree that the letter is dumb, but don't confuse that with the weather that has been happening for millions of years. No one controls it.

You obviously know nothing about Forest management or fires. Canada only manages a fraction of its forests because the rest is far too remote to access, and has limited economic value. That’s the part that’s burning.
