The social causes of the California wild fires
View this post on Hive: The social causes of the California wild fires
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
Don't forget that they have also stopped fires for many years allowing a large build up of wood and other forest debris to accumulate.
I have no doubt there are more social causes! I would have looked into it further, but this post is very much a victim of the churn ethos I've got going - set a time limit and publish what you've got!
Isn't it a bit wrong to say, the cause of the wildfires? Wouldn't it be more precise to say, the cause of the material damage from the wildfires. There is of course social reasons behind CO2 emission, but the mentioned problem is more about lousy city planning, which is not igniting any fires. Or am I wrong? Is it indicated that the forest fires are causally connected to urbanisation. I couldn't find that in Gregory L. Simon's text.
Yes very fair point on the title. As to the urbanisation link I may have got that from another source I didn't include - not doing so is simply down to lack of time.
Fair enough :) Interesting to hear a bit more of the problems in California. In Sweden we have had large fires all over due to the drought in Scandinavia, and I read that it was due to too much spruce wood instead of mountain pine - also a human interference.
