Canada's "save the planet" policies has caused this nightmare

[NoBody]

This has been known for years folks.


"With hundreds of wildfires searing B.C.'s Interior and more unusually
hot, dry weather on the horizon, experts warn that this may be the new
fire season normal, and the best prevention — is setting preventative
fires.

The traditional practice of setting preemptive or prescribed burns to
get rid of underbrush and create fire stops — scorched ground to stop
fire's spread — has fallen off, and experts say that's putting people
at risk and costing millions."

"As the flames of Fort McMurray come under control, questions will
start to rise about how they could have been prevented. The answer,
say those who study wildfires, may lie in the practice of prescribed
burns, by which foresters and firefighters assess a site, establish
boundaries and ignite the bush—burning under controlled conditions,
it’s been shown, can head off more catastrophic fires later on.

Yet despite ample evidence that the practice works, Canadians,
especially those involved in tourism, wildlife protection and the
logging industry, are still resistant to setting forests aflame.

“A lot of lip service is paid to it but very few agencies do it,” says
Mark Heathcott, who coordinated controlled burns for Parks Canada for
23 years, before retiring in 2007."
