Well as you know it happens. Wish I was skiing again as Sunday River and Sugarloaf look great heading into March. As you know March can be stupendous up there even in the crappiest winters. No one knows what March will hold,no one.
Yes there is great debate in Australia about lack of controlled burns being one issue. The insane IOD made for extreme drought. Climate change certainly exacerbates human influence. Like I said our decisions to control our environment often result in unintended consequences. The Army Corp of Engineers debacles over the years is proof enough. Sound Environmental policies try to simulate unintended consequences. The reintroduction of the wolf in Yellowstone shows positive unintended consequences. No one predicted how much good became of it. My advice to Governments would be to not rush into solutions that may bite us in the ass eventually
I think you have ended humanity more ways than any science fiction writer could imagine. Perhaps you missed one but over the years you certainly are the king of doom. Lol but I am sure some day we all will die. Those who adapt die later.
You know that Australian wildfires have occurred which burned more acres right? We get in the way by not allowing open burns trying to control the natural way. Same with building on barrier beaches. Sand moves. The problem is us and our decisions. Being smarter is tough when people make decisions based on money or fear.
Being a good steward of the planet is important. Understanding processes through science and research is vitally important. Fear mongering and finding every which way to end humanity is how some live their life. Odds are it's a microscopic bug that does us in.
