This years bushfires are an unprecedented phenomenon, whilst devasting and an enormous toll socially and on an environmentally, to believe this will be the new norm is as ridiculous as some of the conspiracy theories and reporting about the fires on social media.
The Autum idea is a good one. Controlled burns with an aerial water bombing loitering over head should the situation get out of control.
Bushfires are a year round, World Wide natural occurence. It should be not be beyond the reals of possibility, that a number of Governmemts around the world pool some reasources to have a Aerial Bombing fleet that can be moved to various countries on a seasonal basis to fight these fires.
We will watch CNN in sadness and complete horror in a few months as Wildfires ravage the hills outside Malibu and Beverly Hills, as our favourite TV and Movie stars homes are at risk or are burned to the ground in the annual fire season in America.
The solutions are there, it is not in the interest of the powers that be to implement them.
