Two years of Forestry at NAIT taught me a lot of things. One is the fire history of Western Canada. The reason fires are getting more common is because Lodgepole/Jack Pine forests (what most of the Boreal Forest is made up of) only last 80-120 years. Then they either fall down and die from bugs (like the Mountain Pine Beetle), get succeeded by Spruce trees, or they burn. If I recall the numbers correctly, in the 20 years between 1880 and 1900 something like 60% of the forest in Western Canada burned. Was that global warming?

No. It was a natural cycle of a healthy forest.
