"The perception of #fire as a universal threat to society and #ecosystems has led to a widespread perception that fire should be suppressed at all costs, regardless of the type of fire. This misleading belief that fire is a controllable artefact, rather than a natural process intrinsic to ecosystem dynamics, has been enhanced by media misinformation and biased debates."

Integrating management, #ecology and society to face current fire regimes :

Just got a press release on climate, leading with how tragic the #California forest #fires were, then saying it's part of a trend.

Then it mentioned recent fires in #Australia and #Canada and...that's it.

#ForestFires - and #climate disasters overall - only matter when they take place in the global north.

"From the mixed pine and oak forest in the Klamath Mountains to the Mojave Desert, Sierra Foothills, there is not an inch of California that is not now part of this conflagration and it's true throughout the American West of course"

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon dropped by 30.6% over the past year, reaching its lowest level since 2015, with 6,288 square kilometers cleared by July 31, 2024.

Despite the drop in deforestation, fires surged nearly 18-fold in September due to severe drought, with fire hotspots up 70% from the previous year.

Forest fires outside tropics drove 60% CO2 surge since 2001: Study #environment #forestfire #forestfires #CO2 #emissions https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2024/11/forest-fires-outside-tropics-drove-60-co2-surge-since-2001-study/

Global carbon dioxide emissions from forest fires have soared by 60% since 2001, driven largely by the burning of forests outside the tropics, according to a new study.

There are now, in fact, more emissions from forests located in higher northern latitudes compared to tropical forests, the researchers found.

This is a long one, and I have some reservations.
About the conclusion of the program: false hope in technical solutions.
There is really only one solution: #StopClimateChange . #StopHeatingThePlanet .

Still there was a part that I found very interesting: the permafrost. New info on the impact of #ForestFires on the permafrost and did you know about "jetima" [12:18 - 21:47]

The Weathered crew traveled all over the US and abroad to answer pressing questions about our changing climate in our new series, Weathered, Earth's Extremes. Maiya and the team worked so hard on this show -- we can't wait for you to watch it!
Maiya May is on a mission to understand the impacts of climate change and how to stop it. She brings viewers along to learn where we are and where we’re going as greenhouse gasses reach record levels. Have we crossed major climate tipping points? And are there positive tipping points that will help slow global warming faster than expected?
Can coral survive record ocean temperatures? Will thawing permafrost trigger runaway warming? How do we cool our cities and replenish groundwater? Watch to find out! [That's just what I mean; false hope It's an American Main Stream [JdeB]

The red sun is beautiful and yet fucking depressing because it needs massive smoke clouds.

Each day was supposed to be sunny with a few clouds, instead we got The 2nd Renaissance skies.

Most of southamerica got covered by this moving tragedy. It makes you feel desperate while walking outside, claustrophobic vibes.
