Holy accelerant, Batman.
Don’t tell me somebody’s not driving around flicking their Bic.
The Indians in both Americas took care of thee forests. Thet burned them every year or so. At intervals like that the underbrush has not gotten thick yet and the underbrush is al that burns. The forests are cleared and big game loves it and hangs around in the forest. By refusing to burn the forest the underbrush grows to choke everything and to burn much much hotter when that lightning strikes and, unlike with annualburns, the trees are all burned up, too, and the tree huggers’ efforts to save the trees go up in smoke.
