If nothing else, this artcile has an amazing graph showing how much worse this year is.
Who’s signing up to plant trees next spring?
This is genuinely scary. The air has been smoky for weeks and the fire season has barely started.

Another expert I saw mentioned that their predictions of the worst-case stuff for the future is that it will be twice as bad compared to now. A lot of lives and houses, infrastructure, etc. can be lost when live in a reality where our fire fighting has to pick and choose which cities and livelihoods we save.
I’m an optimist. Just like Winnipeg figured out how to manage floods, I think we’ll figure out how to manage even the worst case scenario forest fires. And some of that will be simply (and sometimes annoying) things like mandating firebreaks in rings around populated centres. So we’ll look like targets to the space aliens, err, satellites.
