One thing that struck me as I passed through #Jasper a couple of years ago was the widespread forest damage caused by a mountain pine beetle infestation. There was a huge amount of standing deadwood surrounding the town site. One didn't need to be a #wildfire expert to see that it was a tinderbox just waiting for a spark.
#ClimateChange favours the mountain pine beetle and increases drought stress on infected trees. The combination kills the trees, setting the stage for devastating wildfire.
