Carbon not only factor

Dear Editor:

Potential climate change from carbon emissions isn’t the only factor at play right now. No amount of media “climate-change-only news” can ignore them. The forest wildfires, many of them being set by arsonists, are directly related to cyclical drought conditions.

In Alberta alone, one person has been charged with setting 10 of them along with dozens of people charged with the same thing in the Greek wildfires.

A Swiss man named Rudolf Wolf Gleissberg discovered the 88-year solar sunspot cycle droughts which are to peak in North America in 2025. The last time the Gleissberg Cycle peaked was during the dusty and dirty 1930s. With the aid of lightning strikes and arsonists we can look forward to at least another five years of huge forest wildfires. It is sad to see so many trees burning up knowing how beneficial they are to our climate and atmosphere.

The weather of erratic rainfalls and cold/hot temperatures of 2022 and 2023 have been intensified by the eruption of the Tonga island volcano in January 2022. This volcano is predicted to increase global air temperatures for the next three to five years by 1.5 degree Celsius.

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has accepted this data on top of what carbon emissions might already be doing. I believe them to be a reputable organization.
