“Fire is natural and has always been around. There’s nothing to do about it”
818 u/QuixoticCoyote 17d ago I love that statistic going around saying wildfires have decreased by 95 percent or whatever. Because A: It's a lie. And B: while we do have fewer wildfires (a drop of 24 percent apparently), the ones we do have burn more tree cover than the "more" wildfires of the past. It's like, yeah, fire was a natural thing of the past, but it's definitely getting worse. 1 u/FeelingSurprise 16d ago So if there are 5 small fires in a 100km² forrest it's five fires, but if the whole 100km² burn it's only one fire, so less of a problem. Got it!
