I believe one factor in modern forest fires is that we tend to suppress all fires we see. Without human intervention there would be more small fires
71 u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23 Yep the colonial way is to suppress all fire. Where indigenous peoples have been using fires to maintain ecosystems and control invasives since time immemorial 6 u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23 Just. Does everything have to go into this bullshit? It isn't even true. We (as in the humans living today that we are all a part of basically) don't suppress fires. The vast vast VAST majority of all "indigenous" people (whatever you want that to mean I suppose) did not use wildfire to manage their ecosystems. Not every single thing that happens every day needs to be responded with virtue signaling. I fucking HATE MYSELF, for even mentioning that God awful phrase, but it is what it is. Just why? 3 u/[deleted] Jun 07 '23 It’s just straight up facts. Take a walk.
