The fires in Australia are staggering,I think about them all the time ,the lost of property, people and million of million of animals , I hear the Koala bears crying for help....terrible...I also pray all the time for the end of wildfires....
Yep, I was watching news on tv the other day and saw an airgun YouTuber call “airgun tuna” packing up all his belongings and fleeing scene, I hope he is ok.
For ten thousand years the aboriginal peoples have burned off the brush in the summers. Then a few decades ago it became politically expedient to make that illegal. The end result was precisely the same as it has been in California where precisely the same mistake has been made.
The underbrush accumulates over a few summers and then instead of the controlled burns which are possible if they are done every year, you get wild fires. Mix in today's societal nut cases (arsonists) and you wind up with a deadly problem.
