Fifty eight years ago there was a Smokey Bear advertizement on Tv warning about wildfires. It said that so many wildfires burned so much acreage each year in the USA they could cover the entire state of Louisiana.
So, are there NOW more fires than there were back then?
You know Smokey the Bear’s middle name?
The.
Know why Smokey and the missus never had any cubs?
‘Global warming/climate change’:
Whenever his wife got too hot, he beat her with a shovel.
Back then the forest service tried to put out ALL those fires IMMEDIATELY.
Now, they decided to use their brains and realize that forest fires are natural events in nature. They have entire programs dedicated to explaining why it's STUPID to put them out or even try to control them. When I first saw this program I was brought to realize how complex the forest ecosystem is. Now, I see the light! AAAAmmmmeeeeen, BROTHERS and SISTERS!!!!! I see the light!!
Folks who live in those forest fire areas are just as stupid as the folks who built on the flood plains of the Mississippi River. Rivers with YEARLY flooding aren't going to STOP flooding because John and Mary Dumb-Butts wanna build on the river front.
Oh well, the culling of the species continues.
Well they can't be forest fires, right? Because all the green weenies tell us that the bad capitalist loggers have cut down all the forests.
Nope. Just more gullible people.
For the numbers, see my #28 below. This year is WAY below 10 year averages.
