I know there's going to be people here who will start off by saying "It's already been said this fire was started by humans."
Yes, yes I know. That's not the point. This is not the first fire humans have started and it won't be the last.

The point here is, this happened in CANADA'S NORTH. A place where you might expect wildfires to happen in late July and early August but has continually dried out earlier and earlier as the perma-frost has melted and we're getting hotter and hotter records.
Now, I love skeptiko. But we have to stop denying the facts. Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever you want to call it. Is here. And it's changing everything around us. We have to stop pretending it isn't.
Wildfires starting earlier in B.C. too
