@ryanhall72853 years ago When people are busy discussing how to help fight against climate change by lowering the emission of cars, while we see such huge disasters keep happening, who can tell one of such fire (in Canada, US as well...) can cause how many times of emission from a small car?! The united Nations should establish a United Firefighting Army to deal with this situation, because not a single country has all needed resources to effectively put out such a disaster! In stead of letting countries burnt one by one, people should eliminate one disaster before another through cooperation! ... 82
