Fighting every wildfire ensures the big fires are more extreme, and may harm forests’ ability to adapt to climate change.

@TheConversationUS reports: "In the U.S., wildland firefighters are able to stop about 98% of all wildfires before the fires have burned even 100 acres. That may seem comforting, but decades of quickly suppressing fires has had unintended consequences."
