I think it'd be productive to unhitch from the imperfect vessel that is Sowell. Are you against controlled burns?

- defrost 8mo agoNothing wrong at all with controlled burns / cool burns / fuel reduction / fire breaking / mosaicing / etc. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKdZpRbzMk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKdZpRbzMk et al. - I've spent much of the past month and a half on tender watch during harvest in an Australian summer - we had one day with 14 spot fires from lightning strikes just a few weeks past. Detaching from Sowell is an excellent idea.
- postalcoder 8mo agoIndigenous people had it right. And yep, this was a distraction. My bad.
- defrost 8mo agoMy apologies for a seeming over reaction, I had thought there might be something useful or relevant there to wildfires at large rather than wildfires as a prop to take a swipe at some disliked group in a small part of on US state. Your inital point was correct though, wildfires are politicized. The Australian Black Summer, the season that went viral across the globe, was heavily pounced upon by News Corp. et al to push a contra AGW climate change narrative .. which was staggering to watch unfold in the face of data to the contrary.
