Some trees actually require fire to reproduce. So stopping fires isn't too logical, but controlled burns similar to the Native American's approach is the way to do it. This allows the circle of life to continue without a colossal impact on the surrounding areas.
The kinds of fires we're seeing aren't healthy, they obliterate all life and leave nothing behind.
Planting trees won't fix that.
Doing controlled burns will prevent the fires getting to this extent. Nonetheless, it's not a singular focus here, tree's uptake CO~2~ and you know one big factor to these outlandish fires? The increasingly hot temperatures as a result of CO~2~ levels.
Trees alone are not anywhere near enough to lower CO~2~ levels lol
Until emissions peak it is only going to get worse. Planting trees is a joke solution made up by unserious people who just want to appear like they're doing something and don't want to actually solve the problem.
Ahh, right... Perfection only, progress is ridiculous. Might as well just give the money to the US military then, which is far and away the biggest single contributor to the climate crisis.
Are you suggesting that less trees is better for the environment? Because that's what it looks like you're saying
I'm saying this shit doesn't matter. It's greenwashing, so y'all can pretend like the US government gives a fuck.
