Western Greenland and the Arctic Archipelago have also experienced smoky skies — over 1,500 miles away from fires in Manitoba. Long-range transport of smoke has also been affecting the color of sunrises and sunsets in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Another smoke plume is forecast to arrive in the same region from this weekend into early next week, also affecting France and Germany.

EurekAlert!Fluorescent light reveals invisible smoke at high altitudes - as currently from Canadian wildfires across EuropeThe fluorescence lidar technology does not only enable a better determination of the origin of particles in the atmosphere. The method can also visualise particle layers that were previously practically invisible. This is the conclusion drawn by a team from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) from the evaluation of 250 hours of lidar measurements over Leipzig in 2022 and 2023. The researchers had repeatedly observed very thin layers of smoke at high altitudes, which originated from forest fires in Canada but could not be seen using conventional methods. This suggests that the upper troposphere over Europe may be more polluted than previously assumed, especially during the summer forest fire season, the research team writes in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The observations suggest that thin layers of smoke can favour the formation of ice clouds. The fluorescence method offers great opportunities for a more detailed investigation of such interactions between aerosols and clouds. The measurements in Leipzig are once again showing wildfire smoke from Canada. This smoke is therefore not only visible on satellite images, but can now be analysed in more detail using fluorescence lidar technology.

The Draconim series—urban fantasy rooted in youth activism and the environment—sat on my hard drive for years.
When Feeding the Fires came out last year, I didn’t expect wildfires would soon threaten much of Canada. But here we are.
Yes, fire is natural—but we're making it worse. We’re reacting now, as we must. But at some point, we need to be proactive.

This is a fire danger map of Alberta, Canada, showing the Fire Weather Index forecast for May 31, 2025, published by the Government of Alberta. The map uses a color-coded risk system with blue for low danger, green for moderate, yellow for high, orange for very high, and red for extreme fire danger. White areas indicate no data available. The map shows severe fire conditions across most of Alberta. The majority of the province is colored in red, indicating extreme fire danger, particularly covering the central, eastern, and southern regions. There are scattered areas of very high danger (orange) and high danger (yellow) primarily in the central portion of the province. A notable area of lower risk is visible in the southwestern corner of Alberta, showing blue (low) and green (moderate) fire danger levels. Several small circular markers appear throughout the map, likely indicating specific monitoring stations or reference points. The fire danger pattern reveals that Alberta was experiencing critical wildfire conditions on the forecast date, with extreme risk dominating the landscape and only limited areas showing reduced fire danger in the southwest region of the province.
This is a fire danger map of Canada dated May 29, 2025, published by Natural Resources Canada. The map uses a color-coded system to show fire risk levels across the country: blue for low risk, green for moderate, yellow for high, red for very high, and bright red for extreme risk. Gray areas indicate no data available. The map reveals significant regional variations in fire danger. Western Canada, particularly Alberta and parts of British Columbia and Saskatchewan, shows extensive areas of very high to extreme fire danger (red zones). Central provinces including Manitoba and Ontario display a mix of high (yellow) and very high (red) risk areas. The northern territories show predominantly low to moderate risk (blue and green), while the Maritime provinces in the east show varied conditions ranging from low to high risk. Areas of particular concern include large swaths of the Prairie provinces and parts of the boreal forest region where extreme fire danger conditions are present. The map was created on May 30, 2025 at 13:00 UTC and includes a scale bar showing distances up to 2000 kilometers.

The pines were planted to conceal the remains of the villages that were destroyed during the Nakba, to conceal war crimes. Pine forests was a Zionist project that backfired. This short documentary explains why.
Highly flammable, not suited to the local climate but they are also very aggressive trees, in that they do not allow other trees to grow in their space. Perfect trees to displace Palestinians who rely on produce from the indigenous vegetation
