Question

How much are we (humanity) to blame for the wildfires in Australia?

Answer 1

Answer:

Forest fires in Australia happen constantly and regularly. The reason for this is climate of the continent - hot and dry; a large amount of grass and trees dry out, which then burn easily. In addition, eucalyptus trees, which are common in Australia, contain a large amount of essential oil, and when such a tree dries, it can ignite in seconds. However, it cannot be said that this time the weather conditions are abnormal, but the scale of the current fires is very large in comparison with the previous ones.

Among the causes of this disaster are called, paradoxically, environmentalists. They at one time achieved a prohibition on cutting down any trees and even moving away those that fell from old age or the wind. Environmental activists tried to ensure that as many forests as possible were declared reserves, and therefore they were no longer put in order - in particular, old and dry trees were not cleaned. In some places, there is no access to dams because they were decommissioned in national parks due to green policies. There are trees that fall on vehicles and block roads, so people can neither get access to putting out a fire, nor get away from fires.
