Climate change is narrowing the window for safe prescribed burns: study
The Hill ^ | 10/03/2023 | SHARON UDASIN

While prescribed burns are a critical tool in wildfire prevention, warming climate conditions are restricting the window of time in which they can be safely deployed, a new study has found.

Kindled by highly trained firefighters, these controlled blazes help clear away excess dry plant matter that could otherwise catalyze what the study authors described as “a raging inferno.”

Such fires can only occur safely when the weather is not so damp as to prevent combustion, but also not so dry or windy that more vegetation would burn than planned, the authors noted.

But climate change is now reducing the overall number of days and shifting the times of year when prescribed burns can occur, according to the study, published on Tuesday in Communications Earth & Environment.

Maybe CONgress should pass a No Burning Allowed bill.

If “climate change” is mentioned, you know it’s garbage right off the bat. Not read further.

I have a feeling that there are probably well established cyclical weather patterns in play here and not the nebulous global warming hoax.

The people who believe climate change is BS, we are losing.

People who are putting out info showing it’s crap, they are getting doxxed and cancelled out.

The media, has completely bought into it and our schools are teaching it as gospel to our kids.

We are losing on this subject. Hell, we are Liao g on most everything that has to do with this culture war.

“Kindled by highly trained firefighters”

So highly trained that a controlled burn in Montana a couple weeks ago did an unplanned 180 and covered us Idahoans with smoke for a couple days. We couldn’t see across the lake it was so bad.

Climate change has forced us to stop controlled burns?

24 karat political BS.

These people NEVER stop changing their story!

Also, how comical is that a Hard Left political news site - The Hill - is reporting an alleged scientific study?

Climate change is the reason you don’t get your way and they always get theirs. The “you” are non-Marxists.
