How exceptional is Canada’s 2023 fire season? Unprecedented, according to a map of the past century of fire activity

I interpreted the map to be non boreal, not unforested. If you look at Northern Québec where it is unforested it’s a different shade of grey. I think they could have done better colour selection.

Possibly, but does the boreal/non-boreal forest distinction really matter? I don’t think there’s anything that makes non-boreal forest much less likely to burn if exposed to an ignition source.

No clue there!
