Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And scientists predict we’ll be seeing a lot of both in the coming decades.

Already, wildfires have torched around 40,000 acres of land in California alone. The average for this time of year is 1,200 acres. Officials say the peak fire season has started weeks in advance and will last into the fall.

Because federal, state and local agencies are involved in wildfire suppression, it’s hard to come up with an accurate damage estimate. However the National Interagency Fire Center says almost $2 billion were spent putting them out in 2012............

Yes, too much wildfire protection, leads to massive huge wildfires. And do you know what else causes more wildfires? I'll give you a hint: it starts with 'c' and ends in 'limate change'

If god didn't want forests to burn down he wouldn't have created fire.
