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.
Yup.
I’ve labeled the response the “Industrial Wildfire Complex.” The media is all-in (go figure, since it supports the agenda).
There’s a throng of new people aching to suck at the government teat, and the ignorant populace sees the smoke and just says, “Ok” to the budget demands, bending over willingly for the higher prices & taxes.
