I suspect Canada's prime concern was the very high carbon footprint of firefighters from USA and Russia.
But anecdotally Trudeau was worried about carbon footprints from a camp fire he once attended, but these wildfires don't bother him.
They don't feel smart when they can't tell if you're being facetious or literal.
I've seen far too many (AFAICT) absolutely sincerely intended idiotic statements here. I mostly simply let them fly. xkcd 386 only gets you so far.
Adding a </s> tag to your comment helps.
Eventually these trees will die and rot/burn anyway, but new ones will grow and recover near equivalent carbon. Trees just hold carbon temporarily.(Underground gas is another story though)
If you burn oil from deep underground, that carbon would never have escaped without human intervention.
