Thanks to AKAGaga for this one.
Sounds as if the people who lived in the fire ravaged areas knew a lot more about how to manage their land than the activists and government did. It is easy to blame global warming for disasters like this, but there seem to be other issues involved.
Meanwhile, my heart goes out to them for their horrific losses. The tragedy they face is unimaginable. I wonder if there is anything Americans can or are doing to help them.
***Deb was kind enough to answer this question in the comments. Go here for information on helping and for other related information and photos.

It is terribly tragic - the loss is unimaginable.
ReplyDeleteI've been following this blog: www.bushbabe.blogspot.com
She has links in her sidebar how folks can help all over the world and it posting up to date information.
The photo she posted yesterday is worth the look.
Sometimes I wish the government or those who influence those who rule would just go away....just go, be gone.
ReplyDeleteOh..I forgot, that won't ever happen.

Deb, thank you for the link...
ReplyDeleteLinda, I think something similar could happen in the Adirondacks with the right set of conditions
Thanks for the link here... there will be much debate over the upcoming months about what has happened in the southern parts of australia over the past couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteIts too early (and too tragic) for me to get into the 'what is to blame' argument, however this I will say: the safety of humans needs to be paramount in the management of environment. People are often quite ignorant of what they are living amongst.
Again, thanks and make sure you visit the links on my sidebar if you get a chance to help the bushfire victims.
