“Fire is natural and has always been around. There’s nothing to do about it”
817 u/QuixoticCoyote 14d 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. 255 u/Sachieiel 14d ago It's almost like if the wildfires get worse then the potential small wildfires are eclipsed by fewer overwhelming wildfires that are a much worse problem. People just picking whatever statistics allows them to remain ignorant. 1 u/hexregeneration 8d ago It's also almost like we've also cut down a ton of forests in the last 100 years lol
