       Thanks for putting the response here.
       Global warming?  I'd say we're seeing climate changes. That may
       be one reason I haven't seen any monarch butterflies this year.
       I planted milkweed plants just for them but none yet so far.
       I would suspect arsonists being paid by a foreign country if I
       thought they were being paid.  From what I've read arson is more
       frequent in Alberta than in other provinces.   Are young kids
       doing it for kicks?  Are they driving their cars deep into an
       area with no policing because the forests are so big that they
       feel they can get away with it?
       I have other questions.  What kind of forests are burning?  Are
       they mostly native species, or have logging companies planted
       non-native species?
       How serious are the logging companies about cleaning up branches
       after they harvest tree trunks?  Do they leave them around?
       Dead branches like that are a fire hazard.
       The government may say things about global warming --  but it
       looks to me as if they're not doing a very good job at
       maintaining the forests.  What is bothering me now is that the
       US may start neglecting the forest maintenance programs they've
       had in place for a long time.
       It's such a complicated subject. I found an article about it but
       still can't say I understand what's going on.
  HTML https://sanforestry.com/2025/03/24/how-climate-change-is-shaping-the-future-of-logging/<br
       />  I did see that company is doing controlled burns -- very
       good
       -- I had been wondering about that. "Techniques such as
       thinning, controlled burns, and selective harvesting are
       increasingly used to reduce competition among trees, lower the
       risk of pest outbreaks, and mitigate wildfire hazards."

       I’d be very relieved and glad if Canada is burning because of
       the bad forest policy, not because of the climate change
       fanatics trying to prove their point.
       The older I get the more I’m totally disappointed in humanity.
       I heard from Bulgaria this morning …my sister in law told me of
       a friend who took her old dog who has cancer , miles up the road
       to the wilderness ..took him far into the forest , removed his
       collar and leash , and left him there to drive home!
       My sister in law will now not have her as a friend any more.
       Neither will the lady who runs the local Dog Rescue centre ! (
       they were good friends )
       My sister in law and My brother Robin ( who you all know as
       James ) have driven up there and walked the forest calling his
       name , for three days running with no response . So very sad.
       Totally ruined my day. What’s the matter with people ..
       It has to be more than just not knowing God ……the majority of
       people don’t know God , yet they don’t manifest such cruelty ,
       heartlessness and evil.  :'(

       It might help if farmers scooped up pine cones from the forest
       floor.  They can feed them to pigs.  Or maybe allowing pig
       farmers to have farms near the forest so they could let the pigs
       roam around. Pine cones are very flammable when dry. People use
       them to start fires in their fire places.  I'm hoping the
       government takes more action.
       I found out that people are planting aspen seedling in a huge
       area around Whitehorse.  If they get established, their roots go
       out underground, probably making in impossible for pines to
       spread there.  It sounds expensive, but maybe it's worth it?

       what a terrible thing to do to a sick old dog who has been part
       of your family.  And then to actually tell people what she'd
       done, like it was something to be proud of.  I don't blame
       people for choosing to unfriend her.  I think I would have
       reported her to the RSPCA if there is a similar organisation in
       Bulgaria.  so good of Robin to go and search even it was
       fruitless.  I hope it was because somebody had already found
       that dog.

       I live near the Pennine moors and although it's a lesser scale
       there are often wildfires above our town. and also some of the
       moors around Manchester.  A few years ago one such fire blazed
       and spread for over six weeks on the moors above Bolton before
       they got it under control.  That year they had to alter the
       route of the Ironman race as the original route was dangerously
       near the burning area.

       I didn’t know that . Except for the New Forest , I haven’t a
       clue on how much forest is left in England that could burn!  It
       would be even worse if they did it there on purpose , with so
       little protection already for the wildlife. The latest count
       here for our province is 29 forest fires.
       The smoke doesn’t seem too bad today .

       As to the left dog in the woods, maybe we should be more
       concerned with the lady’s mental state, to do that is not
       normal, maybe she’s planning something similar for herself, just
       a thought.

       I hadn't heard of that  fire,  I found an article by the BBC
       from September last year which tells what's going on there now.
       Some plants are coming back and some birds too; but it's a slow
       process.

       The fire was on the moors near Winter Hill and Saddleworth Moors
       Nothing to compare with the LA wildfires though.
