S.E.E. the C.H.A.R.R

As accelerating Global Warming changes familiar patterns of climate, weather, and wildland fuel quality, quantity, and condition, wildfires will more frequently ignite and endure. Legacy schemes of wildland management influenced by extractive industries, sensationalized media, derived notions of property ownership, and bureaucratic inertia must also change. Responses to Global Warming should involve strategies to hold carbon on site. Wildfire management should use tactics that prioritize ethical and ecological safety for wildland firefighters, residences, and wildlife habitats. The safest, most economically ethical, and ecologically congruent methods remain natural and prescribed fire use.
