Reduce the fuel loads by bulldozing. And cutting many fire breaks.

So far as SE Australia goes this year is likely to be OK (consensus of local farmers opinions), as the ground is sodden, but next year after a hot summer all that new growth is going to go up like a torch.

Cheers

It burns cleaner when it's dry.

...an experiment at trying to reduce CO[sub]2[/sub]

"Researchers in Nova Scotia are dyeing the Halifax Harbour pink as part of long-term research project that could help reverse some of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

Dalhousie University, along with the organization Planetary Technologies, released 500 litres of a safe, pink fluorescent dye into the harbour to see how far it will travel.

The move is the first step, says Katja Fennel, an oceanographer at Dalhousie, before researchers release alkaline material into the water this fall.

That material will effectively act as an antacid for the ocean, helping to neutralize the additional acidic carbon dioxide being absorbed by the world's oceans."

Around here we use dye to prevent light penetration in water to inhibit photosynthesis and stop algae growth. It seems obvious that dying water would reduce CO2 absorption. Where did these "scientist" go to school?

Part of the cost of Climate Change, and a bill of $1.3B and climbing.

I suspect strongly that they looked into the properties of the material they were using in as much as they looked into the properties of what they are using in your area.

We dye ours a bluish green so that the appearance of the water isn't affected too much. I'm sure the reason for dying the harbor pink was to make a statement.

 

[dik]

Traceability perhaps, but there are other likely other reasons.

There is phenolphtalein which is pink in alkaline solution. Are they also raising the alkalinity of the water? Phenolphtalein is also a laxative which might not be something you want to dump in the environment.

Is Forbes a reputable publication? This reads like an essay written by a 6th grader. A list of talking points with zero insight.

I've often used phenolphthalein (likely the same stuff) as an indicator when testing for carbonation of concrete...

Yes dik, stop the man caused climate change.

A trusted scientist.
Listen to the truth of the matter. Stop denying this factor of climate change.

The cost may have gone up a tad...

"Rebuilding on the Hawaiian island of Maui following this week's devastating wildfires — which have left at least 80 people dead and countless more missing — could cost more $5.5 billion, officials forecasted Saturday."

It's a start... but they have a bit farther to go...

" A Montana judge handed a significant victory on Monday to more than a dozen young plaintiffs in the nation’s first constitutional climate trial, as extreme weather becomes more deadly and scientists warn the climate crisis is eroding our environment and natural resources.

In a case that could have legal reverberations for other climate litigation, District Court Judge Kathy Seeley ruled that Montana’s continued development of fossil fuels violates a clause in its state constitution that guarantees its citizens the right to a “clean and healthful environment.” Montana is one of several states that have explicit environmental guarantees written into their state constitutions.

While Seeley’s ruling won’t prevent mining or burning fossil fuels in the state, it will reverse a recently passed state law that prohibits state agencies from considering planet-warming pollution when permitting fossil fuel projects."

The mineral oil affects nothing. If that was really an issue the first place to start at stopping its over use is in the "fossil fuel" gulping jet airliners and any other turbine engine use.
How many aircraft dump raw unburnt hydrocarbons into the atmosphere a day?
I guess you didn't listen to the last video? The real reason for extreme weather conditions.

Give it up. No one is drinking the swill you're peddling. You're not contributing to the conversation in any way.
