Having these fires become 'normal' is worrying. The forests will not recover every time. As for Trump and Musk, this was bound to happen as I doubt they were really friends and are out to get what they can for themselves. Musk managed to trash and regulation of his business, but will want to keep those valuable government contracts.

We have lots of 'cheap' shops here too, but what they sell tends to be lacking in quality. A lot of retail has gone online, but we lose something from that. I will keep supporting businesses who I think give a good service where I can.

Forest fires in general have been happening for ages. Even before people were in every corner of the globe, lightning would strike and cause destruction that promoted new growth. The problem is the fuel we now add those fires, so instead of going out on their own, they just keep getting hotter and bigger. My guess is, there is something else going on that they don't want us to focus on, thus this "spat".

Of course they have happened before, but when they start getting worse due to changes in the climate then we should be very worried. The fires add to the climate problem.

So who are 'they' that don't want us to notice? Is it just the fossil fuel companies who have a lot a political influence? Short-term thinking will kill us all.

Man, if I knew I would make a killing on the news shows. I really don't though. I try to just mind my own business anymore. The world is nuts.
