Record-breaking wildfires blanket Brazil with smoke grist.org/drought/amazon… Record-breaking wildfires in the Amazon are causing smoke to blanket the region, impacting air quality and isolating Indigenous villages. Over 2,700 wildfires have been reported in the first 11 days of October, the highest number for any October since 1998. The severe drought in the region has also led to low water levels in rivers, affecting Indigenous communities and commercial shipping. Indigenous tribes are calling for the Brazilian government to declare a climate emergency. Deforestation, climate change, and El Niño are contributing factors to the crisis.

Welcome to 1t.org, Canada Chapter 🇨🇦! I hope many Canadian companies will join @TELUS, @Manulife in making commitments to conserve & restore forests. More than 10M ha forests lost to fires this year alone! We need to reduce emissions & restore nature. Now.

Currently in Canada some nonsense is circulating that wildfires and climate change are not related. Many research efforts show that we are seeing more fires as we warm due to anthropogenic climate change including one study just published in PNAS.

Area burned is Alberta is now 1,378,739 ha that is the highest annual area burned in the 1959- 2023 record. ciffc.net/situation/ (QC and SK are also over 1 million ha) This record number will increase as AB is on fire again today. GOES 18 - white = active fires.

Yikes! Now, Quebec is on fire. Numerous wildfires seen on GOES East mid-ir band 7 below - bright white area very active wildfires. GOES East Geocolor also attached, and you can see all the smoke plumes associated with the fires.

Expect a busy week for fire activity in Canada. A massive ridge cover much of Canada keeping it warm and dry. Lightning activity means new fire starts. Wildfires very active in BC- NWT- AB- SK (GOES 18 band 7 bright white active fires). Active fires in ON and NS - not shown.

Remarkable!! All areas in magenta indicate a record breaking mid-upper level (500mb) ridge by the weekend. This is an immense heat dome maxing out at 4.2 standard deviations (sigma) from the mean. A ridge magnitude on par with June 2021🧵

🌳A global assessment by @IUFRO shows that the health benefits of forests and trees far outweigh the negative impacts, such as allergies. The rise in #allergies is due to unnatural and unhealthy lifestyles exacerbated by #ClimateChange. 👉🏽 ow.ly/H6Fj50Okoj5 cc @Piegonetta
