Trees, climate and fire management

The majority of people delegate their lives (and the preservation of our environment) to governments. If they are not delegating their lives, they are in search of a quick fix. A large gum tree can transpire around 30,000 litres each per year which is essential to a healthy landscape. Transpiration induces rainfall. Fewer trees equals less rain. Where the canopy is compromised, then the area becomes tinder dry and explosive. We are all responsible for the lack of trees on the planet and the state of the canopy coverage. The agenda of governments also includes geo-engineering to reduce rainfall and dry out the land. The geo-warfare extends to the aluminium particles and the use of DEW and HAARP. The increased aluminium on the ground is a matter of record documented by firefighters when they investigate if fires were started as a result of arson. Any discussion by any group (including indigenous groups) is rendered moot if it ignores the geo warfare component. The second issue is that fire burning (including traditional fire control methods) have been studied, predominately in the region of Brazil because of the significance of the Amazon rainforest. Fire burning eliminates tree seeds from the soil and the result is that after repeated burnings (more than 5) the result of rate of biomass recovery reduces by 50 percent. If forests and bushland are repeatedly burned the area loses bio diversity and will be dominated by only a few species that are resistant to fire.  The inconvenient truth is that many of our ancestors engaged in this practice not because they were caring for the land, but because the destruction of an area with fire prompted the vegetation to respond with extra shoots and growth. This growth bought in wildlife which provided a soft target as a food source. So a practice should be analysed on the basis of its impact on the environment and not given credence simply because indigenous groups engaged in it. For those who have the capacity to connect to the Earth and to indigenous disincarnate ancestors- I invite you to do so. Ask them to reveal to you universal law and the impact of fire on the land. Then be the messenger.
