Is the world on fire? ( Archived) (29)

I dont know if anyone likes the BLM. They are idiots who sit in offices and tell ranchers how to ranch, block tourists from park areas, work with the DNR to regulate wildlife and have no idea of the nature they guard.
Idiots prevent fossils from removal..should be left for tourists. Anyone ever explain erosion to the BLM suits?
Before anyone gets bent,Bureau of Land Management. They regulate the forests. The citizens get ruled and big oil and loggers get what they want by paying off. And cover the earth with slash.
I heard another country now has fires. What is going on anyway? Is it the heat and droughts? Fire bugs?
We used to run the cows in the woods and river bottoms in the 40s and before. Then the conservation department said no more cause because it was ruining the river bank and stopping forests. Yeah. Well now the banks still erode from floods and you cant walk through the woods for the prickly ash, poison ivy, vines and fallen trees and branches. No small trees can get a start through it all.

Fire is natural. But, the issue they say is that people have now built in dense forest areas. Primitive man tended to build along water ways or the sea. They hunted the woods but it was more convenient to be close to a water source and fish. Game came to waters edge for hunting too.
Ancient structures more than not were built of stone or clay. Wood was too hard to cut.
Everyone wants that cabin in the woods. I see the idiots that build in sub-standard areas either due to lack of land or a wish to have a view. Mansions built on eroding cliffs fall into the sea. Homes built in ravines flood. Mansions built deep in pine forests burn.It just seem odd though that so many fires are now occurring across the globe.

I question the tree thing. My farm spouts thousands of trees every summer. I am buried in woods. Lots of farms around me have woods. The bluffs across the river are covered. I yank out seedling by the gross so I can make it out my front door in the future.
Cities plant trees. Look at satellite. Tons of green.
The problem is cutting old growth forest. Or them burning off. Jungles that no longer exist.
Travel is what hurts the earth. When 911 shut down the planes, the skies cleared and pollution dropped. Shows they are major contributors. Cars in grid lock spewing carbon.
Electric cars do nothing. They plug into those coal fired plants for their electricity. Along with the factories that make them and the batteries. What will be that outcome when batteries get dumped?
The US takes a coal plant off line and China builds 6 in that week.
Every place is someone elses vacation destination. So stay home and see the sites. Dont fly somewhere or drive distances.
Stop filling wet lands that are carbon sinks. And enough with the AC. I do fine inside at 75 degrees. Even 80.
Stop paying $50-100 for jeans that look like rags and then tossing them next year for the new style. How do you think organic cotton grows. Planted by a gas guzzling tractor. Weeded by one. Picked by one. Made into yarn with electric using factories.
Until the world finds out how to make wind and solar really work, it is all fiction.
