Wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington are some of the biggest on record, and experts said a combination of factors could continue to make them more frequent.
But with current trends projecting the worsening of wildfires due to climate change and drought, the authors concluded that fire management may be a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that result from wildfires.
The authors also found that the average cost of avoiding 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions was $12.63 -- comparable to or lower than other mitigation strategies -- and that increasing fire management spending by just 1% could reduce fire size by about 0.21%.
I believe everyone is not thinking this through. Yes forest trees need to be thinned occasionally for a healthy environment, but let people have the wood, don't burn it on purpose; lightening does that job. Also, the under brush would make good mulch. 🤭maybe rake the forest🤭
ULTIMATE RELAXATION
scientists are discovering what indigenous peoples have known for 10,000 years 👏...👏...👏
Scientists are not “just now discovering” this. Native peoples & scientists have been saying this. Change the tweet to “The media is just now reporting.” If corporate sponsored mainstream media is going to finally start caring about the environment, as least get the facts right.
CLIMATECHANGE IS CYCLICAL AND CANNOT BE STOPPED. ONLY POLLUTION CAN BE CONTROLLED. TRUTH WILL OUT=CLIMATECHANGE CANNOT BE AVOIDED. GET REAL.
Strange, didn’t Trump advocate for improved forest control to combat “megafires”?
Please tell Arizona.
I can’t believe trump was even right about this!!!
