Actively managed fires

mardi 25 mai 2021 à 02:00

In Arnhem Land, in northern Australia, indigenous rangers actively manage fires.

This sort of management can reduce destructive fires and protect species. However, whether it will succeed in storing carbon long-term depends on how bad global heating gets. It is good to pay rangers to do it, but we should not take for granted it will reduce net emissions.

Indeed, I think we should not plan for curbing global heating in terms of "net emissions" and "offsets". Rather, we should make plans to reduce emissions; and we should also make plans to protect various sorts of terrain.
