> Forests burn with regularity Some do, some don't. California isn't the whole world. Edit: > Wildfires are among the most common forms of natural disaster in some regions, including Siberia, California, and Australia.[17][18][19] Areas with Mediterranean climates or in the taiga biome are particularly susceptible. California and Australia are outliers. Writing off forests in general just because particular sorts of forests are prone to burning doesn't make sense.
