It matters how news is reported- the fast sweeping wildfires ,which have increased 5 fold since they began last Sunday, causing 88,000 people to evacuate in Alberta Canada, are because of last years mild winter due to effects of man made climate change-dryer conditions make the ground pure kindle. There are virtually no articles in mainstream media stating that (this is the only one)-focusing rather on what might have started it (unknown) and the mass evacuation stories. Playing down details and leaving true sources unidentified keep the public ignorant for more of the same occurring and their bewilderment. Lots of residents were shocked how quickly this fire spread.
If people could identify the source as man made climate change, simply for selfish profit, how would they respond to the many, many catastrophic events taking place on the planet now?
