Sorry if this post seemed like a response to yours. It’s not. I didn’t find your post unreasonable, nor did I think you were implying that climate change is non-existent. You simply were pointing out fire’s role in nature, and I added my own response in-line with your post to call out what I see as a distinction between milder forest fires and the ones that are becoming more common today.

In general I aim to respond to people directly if I disagree :)

[But in this particular case I was responding in frustration to a trend of comments, not one in particular.]

I’m sorry that my post added additional stress to your day — it really was not my intention.

So it bothers you that during a global pandemic, people weren't wrist-slashingly depressed for five minutes and you felt it was important they return to that state to gratify you in some way?

I'm not someone saying climate change is a hoax, nor am I saying that concerns about it are mere fear mongering. But I see nothing to be gained by concluding we are clearly doomed already and should just throw in the towel now.

That's called self fulfilling prophecy. If we make zero effort to find a path forward, you can bet dollars to donuts we won't find a path forward.
