the wildest thing is how people consider wildfires separate from “human-caused emissions,” as if a solid chunk of the wildfires aren’t caused by human error and behavior!!!

I find it very puzzling that (inshallah) we haven’t had a major fire this season in SoCal, but hopefully people learned a thing about fire management after 2020 and that’s what’s caused the quiet season, because a shitton of these fires are not natural fire cycle fires
while it’s true that forests regularly burn and that some species even need the heat of a wildfire to trigger germination (was not making up that detail in #InTheWatchfulCity!), iirc 2020 was largely caused by poorly maintained energy grids setting fires, that’s 100% human error
this article is great and I just have to tag in @tentaclegremlin because: “pyrogeographer” baynature.org/article/readin…
