Environmental Activists Have Maximised Destruction Of Wildlife And Habitat By Fires And Floods

Environmentalists opposed controlled cool burning which was done on a 5 to 8 year rotational basis two or three decades ago. This was similar to the rational burning practiced by indigenous Australians over thousands of years.

The environmentalists say the forests should be locked up in their natural state, that controlled burning destroys the natural habitat of flora and fauna.

When fires are started by lightning, or intentionally or accidentally by humans, they burn hotter and more destructively compared to forests where the fuel on the ground has been controlled.

In cooler burning fires, animals, reptiles and insects survive in the tops of trees, in rock crevices, underneath bark, in creek beds and open areas. In the environmentally enforced high fuel fires, most creatures and much of the flora is decimated.

Cooler burning fires can be stopped and property and wildlife protected by cutting fire breaks, back burning and water bombing. Fires where fuel litter has been uncontrolled burn too hot and move too fast for any human intervention to control them.

Environmentalists have consistently argued against the building or extending of dams for water storage and flood mitigation. There is not a single dam in existence which environmentalists have supported. Consequently Australia has not built a substantial dam in the last couple of decades despite massive population growth.

In times of drought we have insufficient water storage to provide for agriculture or to maintain the flows of rivers. Entire river ecosystems die.

In times of exceptionally heavy rains we have insufficient flood mitigation leading to the destruction of natural habitat, buildings and infrastructure and the death of wildlife, farm animals and sometime humans.

It's about time our politicians grew a back-bone and stood up the the noisy, aggressive, environmental activists, and did what's best for the community and the environment in the long term.

Tim replies:

Of course, when we wind up with the "natural' burning they then blame it on global warming. In short, I suspect many environmentalists want these fires. Case in point; a lot of the fires we witnessed in Australia recently (and Brazil a couple of years ago) were started by environmentalists. Destruction serves their purpose, which is oftentimes not about protecting the natural world but promoting socialism worldwide.

James adds:

I read about the ones in the Amazon. 'The Brazilian newspaper Estadao noted that police arrested four people in Pará state on Wednesday linked to environmentalist groups.

Those arrested reportedly belonged to local NGOs that claim to be fighting the fires. National law enforcement members have accused them of taking money from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to fight the fires, then burning more land to claim they need more funds to extinguish fires.'

Even funnier was the report from August 2019:

'Many high-profile figures seeking to denounce the fires in the Amazon — from Madonna and Cristiano Ronaldo to Leonardo DiCaprio and Emmanuel Macron — have unwittingly ended up misleading millions on social media, either sharing photographs of the region that are years old or images taken in other parts of the world.'

The images used by these useful idiots to scare the world about the Amazon burning were at least 16 years old! https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/08/27/amazon-fires-how-hollywood-celebrities-are-spreading-misinformation-on-social-media/
