There is a popular conservative narrative that the record number of forest fires we've had in the last 5 years have nothing to do with climate change, and everything to do with "policy" - specifically the lack of controlled burns. Corner someone at a trump rally, and they may never have set foot in California or a forest, but they'll be familiar with the concept of "intentional burns" because the daily wire or fox news or newsmax would have said it as they dismissed "liberal alarmism" over climate change. It fits a convenient narrative which is that all of society's problems are just because of big government interceding in their lives. Telling these people that "Actually California, BC, and North America, do intentional burns all the time" does nothing because it contradicts the propaganda they've heard. And they'll assume it's a lie. Saying "Fine, we'll START doing intentional burns" may have a chance.
