Wait there was global warming 50 thousand years ago?
Forestry techniques that were well known but forbidden due to idiotic environmental policy is “deep aboriginal knowledge”.
Hang every arsonist at the spot they are found. That’s the way they used to do it.
Once again, the wisdom of the Aboriginal and their 'traditional practices'.
Naturally when white people in government suggest the same thing, the Eco Nazis protest and shut it down.
White man bad. Black man good."
I suspect liberals and the MSM are now going to jump on the prescribed burn bandwagon because they can now describe the practice as 'the wisdom of the Aboriginal people' and not the 'environmental destruction of the white man'.
“...ridding the land of Democrat debris, scrub, No-Term-Limit undergrowth and certain invasive Pelosis...”
America! The way forward, LOL! :)
The majority of bush/grass fires in Australia are caused by lightning, we even have a bird that picks up burning sticks and spreads the fire to flush out prey. The aboriginal people learned this trick from the bird, burning areas of land provided them with a portable larder.

excerpt:
“Observers report both solo and cooperative attempts, often successful, to spread wildfires intentionally via single-occasion or repeated transport of burning sticks in talons or beaks. This behaviour, often represented in sacred ceremonies, is widely known to local people in the Northern Territory,” write the authors behind the find in the Journal of Ethnobiology.
Gosford points to two Dreaming fire ceremonies in particular – the Lorrkon and Yabuduruwa ceremonies from the Arnhem Land region of the Territory – which incorporate scenes involving the re-enactment of birds spreading fire from places to place.
The solution is no secret. Western civilization has no need of instruction from cave men.
Really? Florida does this every year.
What a shocking discovery!
Oops. CNN wasn’t supposed to tell everyone. This is the same primary reason for the level of fire damage in California. It’s illegal to prevent forest fires under governments which are insane/evil.
Deliberately setting fires?
Not letting nature grow wild and free?
Where do they get these ideas?
Greta will give them a stern lecture.
This is also the method employed by the Mi-Wok Indians in Norcal for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived.
Maybe thousands.
They actually had specialists.
At just the right time of the year, in just the right places, and within the context of the last decade of weather.
The Mi-Wok never got burned out of their huts. There are several examples of original huts standing that are 200 years old.
Nothing the Europeans built have stood for 200 years in the Sierra Foothills. And nearly nothing for the last 100 years.
California burns. Regularly.
So burn it with purpose.
This is what you get when lawyers make one size fits all laws and that’s all they know how to make.
I heard a theory one time that the Aborigines actually killed off Australia’s Megalania, a prehistoric giant monitor lizard, by setting and using wildfires. They supposedly would start the fire close to dawn while the big lizards were torpid with cold and couldn’t run away.

Supposedly the youngest fossil they have found dates to around 50,000 years ago. Which is supposedly right around the time the first Aborigines came to Australia.
Freegards
Aboriginal people raped and murdered.
They were so smarter than us modern dummies.

I’m sure that would be illegal today.
Most of the fires were set by firebugs, plus the Aussies are likely infected with the same forest management disease that California has.
The difference in this area, SOMETIMES, between western societies and the natives they settled among is the natives had a long history in the land on their side. Their “being smarter” on some things had been really more that they had learned more than new westerners because the natives had been observing and learning about their land for centuries. Their “smarts” was in the form of accumulated knowledge passed on for generations. That that was passed on was superior in some instances to what the settlers had to get to know by their own experience.
Though in truth some westerners either by instinct of their own, or as quick observers, have also understood that good land management REQUIRES the use of controlled burns and active forest management - not just “leaving everything to nature”.
The modern “environmental” movement, thinking it knew everything better than everyone else, led in deconstructing good land management and forestry management operations in their “back to nature” quest. It’s been a disaster, particularly when it comes to wild fires.
