    Mate, you cannot stop the fires in those conditions. Your idea that it’s because you “maintain” natural environments and not the climate and environmental differences is frankly without any standing.

    Much could be done to minimise the impacts of large fires, but they are bound to happen with frequency regardless of what you do do.

    Bushfires can easily jump containment and embers can travel for 10-20km floating in the air before starting another fire nearby, meanwhile the trees are combusting at 1200 degrees Celsius.

    Bushfires are fucked, you don’t get it because you don’t come from the right climate.

      My understanding is that Trump apparently tweeted something about how California doesn’t maintain its forests, so that’s probably what started spreading this all over.
