"Wildfires that make national headlines". I can't think of the last time a Texas wildfire made the national news. California has two right mow, and had another one a month or so ago.

lol a house can be rebuilt in a few weeks. a forest takes decades, in some cases centuries to return depending on the local flora.

Fires are part of the cycle of life in most areas where they naturally occur. Most species in such areas have adapted to either survive the fires or quickly recolonise the scorched earth with heat-resistant seeds and such.

oh absolutely, there are actually species that require fires for their reproductive cycle. but the issue is that we (humans) are now near everywhere, and unfortunately a LOT of the fires can be traced back to human influence to some degree.

not necessarily arson, but even something as innocous as a left behind waterbottle can turn into a lens and start a fire in the right circumstances.

So whats your solution make Californian as poor as the other states that burn more every year ?
-
Well how about we start by cutting down Calis eucalyptus forests and planting something there that doesn't produce flammable oil? Sound like a good idea?
-
How about you not fucking destroy the ecosystem
-
Hmm depends if those were native or artificially planted there. When you get into long term effects of local flora vs other species it gets super complicated.
