It is amazing how such wild fires occur in the cold western countries, and hardly ever happen even in the hot sub saharan African countries. 78 Likes 1 Share |

mariahAngel:There are many reasons,love. Wildfires can start from natural causes such as lightning or lava, but the vast majority of wildfires are started by people. Things like campfires, cigarettes, vehicles, or fireworks. In cold Western countries, the vegetation is very dry and there is a lot of fuel (dead trees, brush, grass) available to burn. The weather is also usually colder, which means the air is drier and the wind can blow the fire around. Unlike hot Western Sub Sahara countries, the vegetation here is not as dry and there is not as much fuel available to burn. The weather is usually hotter, which means the air is more humid and the wind does not blow the fire around as much as it does in most part of the Western world! Note: we sef dey experience wildfire, just that people hardly talk about it, and it's not too common. 92 Likes 7 Shares |

What is Happening is apocalyptic. GOD is Speaking and warning the nation s and Humanity. Unfortunately many are stubborn and continuing to engage in evil and live anyhow as if they own the breath in them. Reminds me of the Bible verse from Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion; 1. sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand— 2. A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. 13 Likes 2 Shares

Wildfire results when methane gas, which is naturally produced by microbial decomposition of organic matter, is heated above its auto-ignition temperature. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Canada clearly has more wooded areas than human habitation! Over-population is the least of the worries for countries like Canada! Yet, they remain extremely strict with their Immigration process!... UK and France should learn a thing or two from them! 12 Likes 2 Shares |

The summer is here! Who knows what new calamity climate change will bring? The frequency is not only alarming but becoming increasingly distressing. It is going to get worse. Mankind is really not frank about taming this monster. The US, the second largest gas emitter has only a federal tax of $0.18 per gallon on petrol. This is barely $0.04 per litre. It has only belated trying to up its game but its hasn't lost its fondness for cheap fuel. The Saudi crown prince can attest to it We can trust China's emissions to keep rising. It won't sacrifice economic growth for the environment. China is already paying a big price for building too many dams without a thought of the environmental consequences. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
