- As floods hit some parts of the US, wildfires are devastating other parts of the country, including the largely uninhabited state of Alaska. The White House says the total area destroyed is far higher than the ten-year average, in large part driven by the climate crisis. President Biden has approved a major disaster declaration for Alaska, which is experiencing an unusually fierce wave of forest fires. DW's Carolina Chimoy met some of the people battling the fires, as well as the residents fleeing from them.

I live in Alaska, the major catalyst was Spurs Beetle killed 75 % of Spurs trees about 3 years ago and you have millions and millions of standing dead trees waiting to go up in flames coupled with drier conditions in certain areas of thr state makes for a recipe for huge forest fires.
... are you referring to the Spruce Beetle? ... and why did you suddenly loose trees to beetles? Are they not native to Alaska?
@@lauritzeninc In California there is a similar problem from a pine bark beetle . The warming climate enables the spread of the beetles , kills or weakens the trees then drought and fire finishes them off . This is happening all over the world . Florida , Siberia .
@@greenthumb6241 And there, where the beatles are not the problem, we are doing their job - Amazonia!
@@123cvbn don't think out than cooler weather ! It happened here in El nino when Alaska was extremely warm for 3 to 4 years straight. 20014 to 2018.
My family lost their home in the Marshal fire and it breaks my heart to see fires going on. I hope the firefighters and Alaskan are okay.
That is all the begin, then the Earth Stand here destabilizid there.
There is more on the Way and Bigger Problems that is more as Visible.

Just remember! Direct energy weapons have been a thing for many decades now…
Am I supposed to care that your family lost their home?
My harem got destroyed. My blinded concubines went missing, and my eunuchs fled to another master.
Not even hearing about this in American news. Thank you DW
Yeah, that's a bit of a problem.
"I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is." ~ Greta Thunberg
Breaks my heart! Alaska is one of a dwindling number of places on the planet where you can see major wildlife on a daily basis and awe inspiring natural landscapes as well. I traveled around the state backpacking in the 70's, canoed the length of the Yukon river in the 80's and kayaked the inside passage from Seattle to Skagway twice in recent years. I guess I'm just glad I got to see some of it before it's gone - either melted or up in smoke.
nature breaks your heart? are you mentally ill?
Alaska will be fine for like 15 more years then we're done for
I feel so sorry for the firefighters in this climate crisis
Right... I can’t believe the climate would make lunatics dump gas on brush and ignite it...
I don't feel sorry for them. They know what they signed up for.

If you had a less myopic historical view of the climate, you would understand this is NO emergency
Those fires were being investigated as suspected arson because the fires were all seeming to occur exclusively on the US side yet none were starting in Canada right across the border. Realistically, what would be the odds?
That's exactly what's happening, they're burning CA to the ground, too.
When i see green area and green forest are burning i feel i am died already 😭😭😭
Oh man, I lived up there for a while, the last, best place! How is it that I only learned about the 3 million acres burned in Alaska on a German news channel and not in the US news?
We are being let back into our home near Yosemite tomorrow, after being evacuated for a week. A hundred of my neighbors lost their homes here.
If you read the scientific reports about the climate crisis, well, scientists are very accurate and careful in how they report their findings. Disasters weren't supposed to get this bad for another 30 years!
It's so extreme. 3,000,000 acres divided by 640 gives you 4687,5 square miles, all burned. Amazing figure. The country the Netherlands has only roughly 13,000 square miles of land (and a lot of water too). Compared to that, over one third of a whole country would have burned away. This year.
Me too.odd?
@@gardenjoy5223 it's called nature, Garden Joy. and the 3,000,000 acres is less than 1% of alaska
@@RobertMJohnson - did you even watch this video? Firefighters are saying that fires are burning hotter and larger than they've ever seen. Our ever increasing burning of gas, oil and coal is having consequences and these consequences are quickly getting worse and worse.
Great thanks to all firefighters,
Without them, (3 millions) the number of acre's will be double.
Yea, well done. By the way, next year you'll need more firefighters...
Does anyone ever estimate how much carbon these massive fires put into the air?
Look at the 2004 season where over 7 million acres burned. That was the record breaking fire season. We were living in Fairbanks then.
3 million acres?! It's mind-boggling!
yeah. less than 0.8% of the entire state
Respect to my man Rocky Soto from Colorado tackling these fires right now.
That’s awesome. We are so lucky to get all this rain here in colorado this year. I couldn’t imagine fighting one of these fires. Best of luck to all firefighters
First question everyone asks ( usually answer never given in these media stories)
HOW did it start?
By global warming.

@@halleffect5439 how did “global warming” start it? It has mind controlling powers to turn California UC professors- and lecturers on climate change into serial arsonists who pour gas on brush and throw matches on it..

Hello from india
Recording breaking flooding and wildfires are becoming more common.
sure, Jarod. keep lying
Wildfires are actually very good for an ecosystem. It's just not good for humans that built a housing project in a natural fire zone. This is the case in many parts of the American West.
*Occasional and tempered wildfires are normal to healthy depending on the local ecosystem. This is not that.
-Sincerely, an Eco!ogist
@@tomitiustritus6672 Alaska has 130 million acres of tinder box. Yes this is that!
@@tomitiustritus6672 Thank you. Nothing we've seen in global weather systems has been normal or healthy this year.
No, it's a problem regardless of whether people are present, people make it of greater concern. Wildlife, moisture, weather and climate, are impacted for years to come. It affects entire communities.
wild fires HELP the ecosystem.
For those who want this is perspective, there are roughly 10 billion acres of forest on the planet. Even if 0.03% doesn’t sound like a lot, that’s just one single year in one single state, and they’re only going to keep getting worse over time.
Thank you bro
The hand full of people tax money isn't coming close to paying for this. You put your house in a clear area of several acres, use a metal roof and concrete siding, increase your luck.
A big reason that the houses are wood is that there are not really any roads, and concrete can't quite be used half the time with how cold it gets. And if you go further north you go to your home.via helicopter or bush plane
00:30 are they using sulfur instead of water? That explains quite a lot actually...
It's really starting to feel like we're rapidly approaching the point of no return where global warming will be self sufficient and wont need any more help from us.
That's already happened, unless we 100% stop in like 50 years. Which won't happen.
that's because you're emotional and not logical.
The year following the year the world turns on the engines back on and that Siberia is set ablaze by forest fires just so happens to have new record temperatures in Europe. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
At some point global warming will become self sustaining, the forests wont grow back faster than they will burn.

This is so sad , awful , the Nature on Earth is starving.
8 billion humans is really sad. All those animals kept in factory farms, then slaughter to put into human stomachs.
Alaska has over 130 million acres of forest. 7 million acres burned in Alaska in 2004. On average 1 million acres burns in Alaska every summer. Get your facts straight!
2004 a fire almost burned down fairbanks. this happens every year. we could see the fire at night on the horizon. massive fires clear alaska every year
When I lived in BC, Canada I met lots of people who simply did not believe and denied that the forest fires caused by climate change. “It’s normal, every year thing” they kept saying
And the lunatics with a can of gas and box of matches is part of the “natural climate change” ?
@It’s OK but Its like boiling a frog slowly, which is somekind of recent bias
So sad a beautiful landscape is facing natural calamity.
No BC wildfires but Alaska which is more north and less warm has fires????
How does Alaska burn?
Exactly, it's so moist there shouldn't happen.

@@asgardequitytrading Yeah he could fit the state of Texas twice inside Alaska and put Arizona there
....would a perimeter stone wall around towns help as a fire break?
Alas!!! In Alaska itself
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OIL COMPANIES?
My God; what is happening...
Sad.
Arsac company has a drone tech which can put out these wild fires from the air itself by using sound. They can very effectively help reduce this wild fire. The fire fighters should contact the company and atleast try using the drone.
yes and no.
[...]On a larger scale, ARSAC’s goal is not to completely extinguish wildfires-or replace firefighters-but to create acoustic boundary lines that prevent such fires from spreading. “We think we’re going to be able to buy those firefighters time, which is the real killer in a disaster situation,” Dhillon says.[...]
another interesting tool are firefighting tanks. the german company RAC builds one based on the leopard 1 tank, the "Fire Commander".
unfortunately most drone producing corporations either built toys or weapons, and corporations producing tanks want theirs to shoot things that start fires rather than extinguish them. one cannot but wonder what would happen if the military industrial complex would switch to making money by saving people rather than killing them...
Much of it is being destroyed?? Not even remotely close,...sure, these are large fires, but, when were talking of an area this size, these fires are nowhere close to the size of these state,...
Those used to be snow, now fire.
Unconditional right to stop our own life whenever we want, for all adults
Who's stopping anyone, why is there a need to have a law for that? What are they gonna do? Sent the dead body to force labor? Jokes aside, that is not a solution, people that cared will hurt and will be no result from that. If you want change stop watching news since affects you so much, at least take a brake and do things for your community, for your dear ones. Things will get better. Fearmongaring is at sky high ratings right now, so they tend to take things out of proportion. Unknown is the main enemy for humans.

Terms need to be invented for really large areas. Maybe 1,000 acres could be a KIlLOACRE.

For some strange reason they only employ midgets.

Baked Alaska is a reality.
We have fires every year. It's nothing new. I'm using my Woodstove in July because it's cold. Fires around populated areas are usually caused by humans.
You ant burn a cold wet place.
Here is a idea that all home owners can use to protect their homes and farms. A do it yourself fire fighting tool you may have in your kitchen. Cornstarch, yes Boiled cornstarch, works like a fire retardant and if made properly will stay wet for almost 2 hours. Just make a thin and sprayable paste and cover what you don't want to burn. Going camping take some cornstarch boiling it to put out your campfire far safer than using just straight water. Doing welding around the shop or in the field use it to cover anything you don't want to burn.
Now let's put this into a workable plan to stop forest fires or reduce their damage and protect small towns or cities from fire. Placing a 500,000 gallon or 5 million gallon water tank on hilltops near your city for fire protection. Now cover those tanks with solar panels and around the tanks place in wind turbines and if there is a moving stream of water near by put in Waterotors or slow speed turbines to make power. Adding irrigation pipes down the hill sides and then adding boiled cornstarch or Tetra KO to the sprinkler lines you create a fire line it can last up to 24 hours with the commercial product. A small city or town can make power to sell or use for City lighting. To make the water needed to fill the tanks you install atmospheric water generators, you can now make drinking water, irrigation water, set up a when needed fire line, and sell power. The State and the Reservations need to be setting these up wherever needed.
Sounds like you want our water supplies toxic from leaky solar batteries & birds chopped up from wind mills. No thanks.
I wonder if someone's starting them fires on purpose
It was being investigated especially after the arsonists in California were discovered.
Alaska, that place so far north large parts are in the arctic circle..
So can we admit global warming is a thing yet?
Or are some still saying its not warming..
What have we done to this poor planet we call home..
If it was us then why did most of the glacial recession occur long before the industrial revolution?
At 1:25 she says
'Ive never seen fire behavior

R u sure is wild fire?
Yes.
This will get worse. Oil barons and their collaborators need to be arrested and put on trial. Immediately
Oil products have accelerated fire fighting abilities and response times and plastic medical products have saved the lives of millions. The planet was also entering a warmer period before the start of the industrial revolution so I invite you to better educate yourself.
Their collaborators include the entire GOP and large swaths of the Democratic party. Good luck with arresting them all.

The world is always changing. We just have not been here long enough to understand.
Poppycock. Science has made it abundantly clear that man made climate change is the main (if not the only) responsible for what we are seeing. There's no room for alternative hypotheses and, quite frankly, there wasn't 30 years ago either, when we could have started doing something about the problem.
Correct. But this time humans have caused abrupt irreversible (in human timescales) global warming. A silly statement like yours wont help you in the very near future. You are also belittling peoples current global warming suffering and deaths - very selfish.

It's not a climate problem, it's an arson problem.
@@mariatorres9789 while some fires cause might be arson, that doesn’t explain all the fires we are seeing more and more every summer, not only in the US but around the world, as we speak, forests in Germany are burning and that country is going through one of the worst droughts in years, this summer we saw fires and droughts in Spain, France, Portugal, last year Turkey and Greece, the year before was Australia, and the list will continue to grow. Arson can’t explain the terrible droughts around the world or the melting of the ice in the arctics and the mountains like the Himalayas, the Andes and the Alps.

Water Vapor ,methane and other industrial gases also entrap infrared radiation.
The problem is that like many chemical and or thermodynamic reactions they are exponential in nature and a small increase causes a positive feedback loop.
Warmer temperature therefore evaporate more water vapor adding exponentially to the system.

This isn't a climate issue. It is a problem of forest management. Over the last decade, there have been several insect infestations that wrecked havoc with national forest lands. Millions of dead but standing trees have been aging and drying making them the absolute best firewood. The recent storms generated the lightning strikes which led to the fire. Up until 11 years ago, deadwood was purposely removed to reduce fire risk. Since then it is not allowed. Forest spaces need to be managed. If not you get this outcome
There are too many times that facts get in the way of the narrative. This is one of those instances.
You are aware that the mass proliferation of certain insects which invade weakend trees is due to climate change? This is a rhetorical question, no need to answer...
Someone coming with 'forest management' in mostly untouched regions spreading over such huge areas obviously is not. How many many millions of people do you think should be doing some 'forest management'? And how did the world survive before there was men to manage the forests?
Some more rhetorical questions, still no need to answer...

Chemical fire retardants are being used here. And chemical build ups on the ground are now causing fires on their own. We need to use a water plus dust particles solution to mimick rain which is more effective and less detrimental than chemicals.
The man's leaning process of trees are also creating trees with thin tree barks. This has been do done by man's manipulation to make trees grow faster. This was was done by the timber industry to make trees grow fast to grow more wood 🪓 in a shorter amount of time.
But now these man manipulated dry trees are catching fire. What was meant to benefit the timber idustry is leading to a disaster.
