Montana is burning, Houston is flooding and people are fighting to prove that their reason is right as to why.
Nobody understands the Earth's climate and how it functions over long periods of time to know for sure that climate change is caused by humans. Both sides of the arguments have evidence in their favor, which side of the argument you end up on depends largely on which side you choose to put faith in.
Humans do not understand forest ecosystems well enough to effectively manage them. There is evidence that humans could reduce fire risk with certain logging practices, but fire is a natural way for the forests to regenerate and replenish. Only when humans are in close proximity does this become a real problem.
Whichever side of these arguments you end up on, it requires faith. You have to have faith that your side is right and when that is a factor you will not be proven wrong, even if you are.
Rather than pushing propaganda about things that we do not understand, now is the time to come together and help those impacted by these events. We won't move forward until both sides set aside their need to be right and just concentrate on doing what is right.
