Sora, an unreleased AI model from OpenAI, generates realistic and imaginative video from text prompts. Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Trillo was granted early access just before the TED2024 conference. This year marks TED’s 40th anniversary — but instead of looking back, we asked Sora to show us what the next 40 years could look like. (Footage…

Stop preventing every forest fire and allow the undergrowth the burnout. When you don’t let a fire happen for fifty or a hundred years guess what then you’re going to have a fire you can’t stop

Do the corporations have any responsibility when the strip mine a forest and leave everything except the stripped tree behind?

As a matter of fact they do it’s called reclamation. But you are way too snarky to understand

@Austin Denotter I can show you photos of so-called reclamation. You won’t see the strip mining of forests along the main highways. What you don’t see you don’t know.

Two individuals from George Mason University developed a subsonic fire extinguisher. Combine it with a team of air moving drones and you can solve your problem.

Why not just allow lumber companies to cut a grid into high risk forested areas. This would create natural barriers to slow the spread of mega fires, while helping to lower home building costs. Harvesting that lumber rather than burning it down would create a new industry, create tons of jobs, and offset (if not eliminate) the costs of the fire prevention measures. Like allowing hunters to buy tags for over populated areas.

Correct in theory, but it’s not about allowing the lumber companies to cut grids, it’s about making them.
They clear cut huge swaths of land because it’s efficient.

Maybe just stop spraying chems in the air for a decade for example.. and see if the fires are as severe and reacquiring as often?? Don’t cure the symptoms , look at the cause.

One thing that might help is for you all to stop blaming arson on the climate.

AVA aircraft vigilance & attack. Dedicated SEAT’s. Public aerial firemen. Chinook’s are so expensive to operate that fire managers hesitate to deploy them. SEAT’s flight hour is so inexpensive that these should be deployed to hunt for fires. Aircraft vigilance and INSTANT attack. Has been done. Has been proven. It hasn’t catched on because of going against business’s interest, sadly.

Well I got some real bad news for you. It’s way way way too late… The window of opportunity to manage our forests and set controlled fires is no longer. There is no time in the season that that is safe to do anymore. Bye-bye. Don’t believe me. Ask experts in fire behaviour that have been studying this for a long time.. too late…

The best way to manage fires is to manage the landscape before the fire ever happens. This means logging.
