Well, get used to it.
A century of defective forest practices will take many generations to correct, assuming the government acknowledges its errors.
In either event, the fires - and smoke - will continue, if not worsen, regardless how much $$ they throw at the man made problem.
Full disclosure: I am not an environmental activist, so don’t go blowing smoke up my arse in a knee jerk response as such. This is a government created problem.
“Fire Ecology” is real; the sooner we accept it - and adapt - the faster things will correct and the more $$ will be saved.
The “knee jerk response” is to fight the notion that there are more wildfires, relying on “data” from before 1983 before objective record keeping was established. The fear is that the fact if wildfires or their affected area has increased int he last few years it will support the climate change bs, because that is how the media spins it. It’s sad that the real causes won’t get addressed because opponents of climate change bs are redirected out of anything related to environment/ecology at all, instead of just opposing climate change bs specifically.
Except the left doesn’t really want to stop the wildfires.
They’re too useful in creating more reasons to control people.
