National fires... preventable global warming.

If only 1% of all money that goes to "monitoring and reporting" climate change went towards a national campaign for forest fire prevention and education.  

 

National fires, add to global climate warming. and are preventable in most cases. But investment in awareness and response programs are desperately needed.

 

History: 

Yellowstone burned for three months in 1988, destroying more than 600,000 hectares of forest. The fire resisted the best efforts of 25,000 firefighters and only flickered out with the first snow in mid-September of that year.

 

Equal to nearly a decade of U.S. car emissions

 

 

What "environmental blow" is more important to prevent... the one that hits you in the face.
