How can we stop these destructive actions?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Forests are not a barrier to fires when a region becomes warmer. Australia had forests and bragged about their capacity to mine & export Fossil Fuels. We can’t have it both ways. Production & extraction of oil & gas causes fires. Australia lost 24 million acres to fire. In America our Coasts from Maine through the gulf states are eroding, too. We need to plan for renewables
