    I’m pretty sure we already have the answers? Sensible water management, fighting climate change, and burning the forests that literally evolved to burn.

      Great summary and spot on.

      People really don’t understand how forests, especially pine, reproduce and thrive. Fire, that’s how.

        Well people own real estate there now… So admitting that would result in “much property values destruction”

        Plus government doesn’t care to do anything about it. Florida and some places out west don’t seem like they will be able to sustain larger populations without something being done of it is even possible.

        It doesn’t seem like anyone even thinking about it.

      And to cemeteries. Some of the cemeteries here are enormous and they keep them watered and green despite the fact that we’ve had hardly any rain for months and the cems get just a handful of visitors per day.

        I still don’t understand why cremation isn’t a bigger thing. Or allowing people to donate themselves as fertilizer

          Burial is the single family detached house of death. Needs to go the way of adding freeway lanes.

    Answer: we’re in late stage climate change, we need drastic and unpopular actions to address the cause at this point… and if Trump wins extreme weather patterns may just be a permanent norm.

    Hmmm, could it be that climate change thing was keep hearing about? Nah that can’t be it, anyway let’s authorize another almond plantation.
