I've been contemplating this too, the fires are nature's way of replacing something which no longer fits the climate.
-
We can go after the farmers in the Amazon who were intentionally burning the trees there. I would put sanctions on Brazil and embargo their coffee if they don't arrest and imprison those stupid farmers.
-
The farmers that intentionally burned those trees in the Amazon should be prosecuted-- those trees are far more important to us than the ones in Canada, the Amazon is the *lungs* of the planet. The trees in the Amazon would never have been burned if those stupid farmers hadn't intentionally set them on fire.

They can be replaced with foliage that is much less flammable. There really is no other immediate answer to this problem. This is a health issue too, the air pollution from those fires has led to a multitude of health problems including higher rates of asthma.
-
But this has also led to more fires and those trees in Canada are more flammable than other trees, so the best course of action is going to be to remove them and replace them with foliage that is much less flammable.

I think you must've hit 100 in June too, NYC hit 101 in June in 1966.
-
Fell just two days shy of the 13 90+ days of July 2010.
-
when did JFK's streak of 3 100+ days in 1948 begin Tony?
-
that cool? it's in the mid 80s here
-
Thanks Tony, 2010 stands alone at the top as the only one with 30+ 90 degree days. 1983 and 2002 are the only others that had 20+
-
One of our greatest summers of all time!!
-
Nice, all my favorite years are near the top lol
-
Those trees have got to go! This is a yearly thing now-- either we remove the trees or nature will.
-
Looks like July 2010's 13 90 degree days is the record at JFK, the only other month that could come close would be July 1999 which was also very hot and very dry.
-
That 5 day stretch in July was the hottest period I'd known prior to 2010.
-
No, although that 99 on the 21st was toasty lol. July 1993 and July 1999 were hotter.
-
where did these clouds come from? there are no fronts nearby......
-
it's completely overcast here lol
-
That probably had the most 90 degree days of any month at JFK unless July 1993 or July 1999 exceeded it. Thanks !!
-
It somehow just got cloudy lol
-
Yes just like July 2010 Those were the good old days....
-
wild so the July 4, 1966 temperature was the hottest on record for July 4th, which was tied on July 4, 2010, both were a very dry heat. That July 3, 1966 temperature is the hottest on record at JFK (104) and LGA (107).
-
Lytton is that town that had massive fires a few years ago isn't it?
-
Thanks Tony, three in a row has only happened twice there, in 1948 if I remember correctly and in 1966. In July 2010 it was 3 days out of 4, July 4, 6 and 7..... I forget if the one in 1948 was in July or August.....
-
2010 had 3 at JFK though Tony..... 3 in 2010 and 2 in 2011. Can you post July 2010 there, Tony? Thanks!
