Why arent we seeing Canadair CL-415 Super Scoopers making runs? Probably for the reason Brian mentioned.

Hazey Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago They have the best firefighting aircraft and pilots in the world. Why arent we seeing Canadair CL-415 Super Scoopers making runs?Maybe not near enough to a body of water suitable for scooping. Fires are huge/remote and there ain’t that many planes. Might as well get used to the smoke. It’s probably the future or atleast foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Tolland should get married What exactly would you like me to do? Lol I actually accepted the world is warming 2 decades ago just not a doomsdayer like you chump.What exactly is a boomer? Some one like me who worked full time while taking 18 plus credits and summer courses to get a degree to advance myself? Someone who worked 2 jobs or 70 to 90 hrs a week to support an ever growing family.? Someone who went to local board meetings to beg for local environmental change? I help raised 9 well rounded kids now 8 all who also work hard and are responsible inhabitants of the rock. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be after our lifetimes when that forest burns again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s probably an uptick with more people hiking and camping out there and starting more fires. Summer 02 had a real smoke day with low ceilings and vis down to 1-2sm. a bunch of the fires are nowhere near people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted 25 minutes ago Share Posted 25 minutes ago It seems like I've read a few papers related to climate change enhancing the northern latitude forest growth around the hemisphere. Entering a CC-related dry bias extending several seasons ... --> wild fire frequency increases. Whom and/or what is lighting the proverbial match? If those are relatively constant while fuels increase... more fires. Climate change effects interior continental geography, differently, in time. For example, increased wet/growing seasons initially causing surplus carbon stows above land. Then, as climate changes furthers along creating extremes of drying vs wetting that can extend longer than single seasons and boom. Not very difficult to see where that's going... Suspiciously, this seems 'probably' to be a situation where the fuels were improving over time, while the triggers remain relatively constant. Pure speculation, but given to the known CC relationship with creating extended periods of unusual mid continental drying, there's some intuitive basis to the idea of 'creating firestorm' proneness.

The Boreal forest, in both east and west hemispheres, have usually been created and regenerated by fire since the glaciers retreated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
