    Well it’s a good thing we have scientists doing things like measuring carbon in layers of soil to tell us that no, the indigenous weren’t altering the planet like that and were allowing the natural fires to burn regularly.

    Stop “guessing” and do some actual research on the subject. They literally tried to teach us about it when we colonized, but “white man so superior” didn’t listen. And this is coming from a white guy.

    We know who caused the problems. Stop trying to shift this to the indigenous. There not the ones who built massive cities in fire areas and then refused to let any of the forrests there burn, nevermind who ran the industrial revolution.

    We don’t have to go back tens of thousands of years because we know when the effects happened because of this amazing thing called science, not “guessing and throwing halfbaked thoughts out and then arguing with people that you must be right”. Moron.

      I’m sorry but you’re just totally ignorant on what you are talking about. I recommend reading Tending the Wild by anthropologist M Kat Anderson to educate yourself.

      Indigenous land management was often more intensive than what we have been doing with uncultivated lands and indigenous groups in my local area have been trying to tell people for decades that it’s partially our neglect of these practices that are causing some of the problems we see today. So ironically you are the one who has not been listening.

        I’d recommend stop being a retard, but you seem pretty committed so I’ll let you be.
