Did you all know that the media gets paid to lie to you? If you click on their page, they get paid. If they put out some outrageous headline, they know they will get clicks. Clicks = money. So be careful what you click on. If you do click, make sure you read the WHOLE article and cross reference with an opposing source and make up your own opinion. Typically, news media sources tend to subtly indicate that what they are saying either hasn’t been “confirmed” or may not be “entirely accurate”, but they use the art of confusion to keep you wanting more.

Simple hypothetical question:
Imagine you have acreage, and the foliage/trees were turning into a thick mass of dead debris around your house due to lack of maintenance and dry weather.
To prevent forest fires would you:

A) spend thousands+ to buy an electric car, solar panels, high efficiency appliances, etc while ignoring the overgrowth, and protest to mandate that your neighbors do the same. Then wait 100+ years to see if that made an impact.

Or

clean up the overgrowth of trees and foliage to reduce the risk of a fire?

If you have ever grown lettuce, you know that too much growth can choke out the other plants. When you plant the seedlings, you place them closer together to get a better chance of achieving germination. If all of them end up germinating, it is recommended that you space them further apart so that they can grow healthy and without disease. Trees are an amazing renewable resource like the lettuce we eat. If we take care of it the right way, we will also thrive.
