> Fire is part of the natural world. Trying to eradicate all forest fires tends to harm ecosystems. Some trees can't reproduce without fires opening their pine cones. > I'm really happy to see this research. I am aware that climate change is real, but "the news" tends to focus on bad things. It's not either/or. Death is also part of the natural world, yet the news tends to focus on avoidable things that cause death. People who want to reduce the negative effects of climate change shouldn't be accused of "trying to eradicate all forest fires" any more than doctors should be accused of "trying to eradicate all death."
