Please quote the section of the letter asking Canada to "control the weather."
Threads like this are why some of us think that the DCUM liberal crowd really isn't that smart.
If you read the letter, and still believe your title of the thread, you are not very smart.
If you didn't read the letter, you are ignorant.
And, if you read the letter and know that the title of your thread is FOS you are a troll.
None of these reflect well on you, OP.

Have they tried asking themselves WHY Canada is experiencing warmer temperatures, higher winds, and more severe droughts lately?

I was near Boundary Waters in I think 2021 when both Canada and northern MN had ongoing wildfires. Forest management really DOES include allowing fires to burn when homes and towns are not threatened. We have learned that being to eager to stop fires is a factor in how bad they are today. That and climate change. And as a lower population state (slightly higher per cap CO2 footprint but it gets damned cold in Yellowknife) we're affecting the actual climate 10 times what they are.

The wildfires are being caused by extreme WEATHER conditions. Drought and warmer temperatures -> ideal conditions for wildfires. Lack of precipitation and heat are part of the WEATHER. Canada does not have any control over the WEATHER. Cause and effect.

I love it when conservatives preen that they’re so much smarter than liberals, and then basic concepts have to be explained to them using small words.

Nowhere did they ask Canada to control the weather. They clearly are asking for better forest management.

“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?

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.

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.

The weather itself cannot be controlled.

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.

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