learning as much as i can about wildfires. prescribed burns are a prevention tactic to reduce the buildup of vegetation that could serve as fire fuel. it takes an avg of 4.7 yrs for a prescribed burn to get through environmental reviews. 80M acres need urgent treatment — that means now, not in 5 years. maddening!

Do you associate wildfires with climate change? It might be an insensitive question, it just feels like they are getting worse every year and we are completely moloch’d from solving it.

climate change is real, but saying “it’s climate change” isn’t actually helpful imo. the climate movement largely focuses on CO2 emissions. attacking CO2 will not move the needle quickly for urgent wildfires when there are tactical things that can be done that will. LA has always had forest fires fwiw.
