| | | | | The Market Going To WorkSpend decades suppressing the natural process of forest fires in dry, mountainous terrain and underbrush builds up.
Build expensive mountain communities in those over-managed forests and property values skyrocket.
Toss in droughts and that underbrush becomes an even drier pile of tinder.
Add a spark from among thousands of potential sources and, whooom, you not only get a raging inferno burning hotter than the forest was designed to withstand but property destruction measured in the 100s of billions of dollars.
Now, you could argue that man was responsible for such a disaster. That’s a reasonable conclusion. After all it was their policies that encouraged dead and dry matter to linger much longer than it should. And the artificial stability that arose from suppressing nature encouraged civilization to spread further than it otherwise would.
But when it comes to clearing out that excess, it’s not man that does the work. It’s nature.
And what nature does to the forest, market forces are currently doing to the global economy…
