  1. Last year, and starting again this spring, even more intense and devastating fires are burning in Western Canada. In the past five years, fires in CA and CO burned over the Sierra and Rocky Mountain crests, respectively. Both were unprecedented.

    North America is by no means the only continent experiencing such conflagrations. Wildfires are driven by fuels, weather, and topography. Climate change is driving the first two.

  2. 35 years living in NW Montana and seeing massive fires burn millions of acres is a "choking" experience, but the immediacy of regrowth is a spectacular event. literally within weeks regrowth starts. flowers are blooming everywhere the next year…..

  3. I love how he says the animals will starve to death this winter without the Pine Forest. Lodgepole Pine forests are a dessert to 99% of Wildlife. they produce almost nothing edible other than pine nuts that only benefit squirrels, pine martins and some birds. Animals do far better in areas that have been burned or clear-cut that they do in the black forest.

  4. WOW !!!
    And in tomorrows show, SUN REAPPEARS AFTER DISAPPEARING THE NIGHT BEFORE. 😮

    Shame about the fire of course, but what did these people expect to happen ? Tribesmen in Africa have been doing this for millennia. 🙄

  5. Nature has a way of healing herself, and coming back as good or better. She has been doing this for billions of years, she is an expert. If Man does not understand her ways it seems Humans only get in the way or worsens or delays the healing … First of all do no harm.

  6. My family moved to Jackson, Wyoming in 1988 and soon after, the Yellowstone fires started. I remember seeing Yellowstone before and the year after, with everything burned. Gradually, the lodgepole pine grew back in force and what burned then is now a 30 year old strong, healthy forest. Fire is integral to our region.

  7. this is a prove that nature doesn't need any human to regenerate itself, it's human who need the nature but we as human always forgot to preserve the nature and instead we always make a mistake by harming the environment.

  8. The history of natural fire (renewal) cycles is easily Demonstrated through the existence of Fungi and bryophytes that only appear after fire. Not to mention a number of pryophytes that have adapted to capitalise post burning and/or to tolerate fire.
    The modern human timeline is nothing when compared to the timeline of the earth. We are merely making decisions, assumptions and projections based on our shout time here (roughly 0.0027% of a year to put that in perspective ) and phenomenally limited dataset.

  9. Also there is alot of dead wood beetles that are dependent upon burned dead wood so there isnt only the first second succession species such as the fireweeds that create life
