Fort McMurray Alberta, Canada is burning. 1,600 homes so far.
Some people have already started blaming “Climate Change”.
Here is wikipedia’s list of hottest temperatures ever recorded in Canada. 1937, 1936, 1941 …. You have to go to the bottom of the list to find one from 1960 and one from 1961. Look up dustbowl (but be careful … wikepedia and others blame the following temperatures on bad plowing techniques)
