    Except this doesn’t take significant resources from reducing oil use. By the same logic we should ignore cuting emissions from air travel becuse it’s purely masterbatory and distracts resources from actual solutions like cutting coal and natural gas power generation.

          No, forest fires have existed for as long as trees have existed. It’s not unnatural quantities of wood being burned. It’s the amount of wood that is normal and natural for the ecosystem to maintain homeostasis.

          Don’t message me again. We’re just going in circles at this point.
