This is a look at how it’s possible to limit the damage from the warmer world that fossil fuel burning has created by using:
traditional Indigenous forestry practices, including thinning the forest; cleaning up debris on the floor; and burning the debris and ground cover in a controlled way to prevent it from becoming fuel for wildfires — an act once banned by the provincial government.
This isn’t something to use instead of the phasing out fossil fuels; it’s one of many costs imposed by our failure to do it soon enough, and one which will become bigger if we keep on burning coal, tar, oil, and gas.
