What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I heard secretary Wright say that wildfires are decreasing, and have been since the early 1900s. Also that more CO2 is good for plants.

Looks like California picked up Canadas slack

Talking to people from california about wildfires boils my fucking blood. The rise in wildfires in CA in recent decades is a direct result of the stupid fucking NIMBYs who live there and oppose controlled burns to manage forest deadwood. Turns out, sticking your fingers in your ears for 40 years and pretending that forests will just magically manage fire risk by themselves is a horribly stupid strategy. You dont need to take my word for it though, you could always ask the native american tribes with heritage from the California area
