It's the #energy, baby. We can drill, drill, drill, but ppl make their choices. And they chose for the cheaper, cleaner, safer, more locally produced energy available. As they did it with nearly all technologies allowing for a shift from coal to electricity.

From Argentina to Australia and South Africa, recent devastation shows that while wildfires are not caused by a single factor, a warming climate makes them more frequent, more intense, and more destructive. The Wildfire Management Hub supports prevention and response: https://bit.ly/4bzoECV

The misleading use of the *salvation* word and concept. They suggest solutions that may not *save* us, maybe just "delay" the problem, or "suspend" for some time. The only solutions are through cutting #emissions, optimizing/reducing consumption of natural resources
