how about, the fuck not ? …
What they’re doing is showing how to make it cost-effective to go back to something like the pre-colonization fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires. This makes it possible for western North America forests to return to having fewer but older trees which sequester more carbon than growing lots of small trees fast and then having them all burn in an intense fire
sounds cool, but the solution to global warming is socialism with mild capitalist traits. tech bro solutions always include extra steps and are profit driven.
If you look at who is involved, its a bunch of forestry and fire ecology types with a few tech people supporting them
i give u credit: i didn’t read the article, just assumptions
