Corporations Cause Wildfires

According to an "open access letter"[1] dated 16 May 2023 titled "Quantifying the contribution of major carbon producers to increases in vapor pressure deficit and burned area in western US and southwestern Canadian forests" by Kristina A Dahl, John T Abatzoglou, Carly A Phillips, J Pablo Ortiz-Partida, Rachel Licker, L Delta Merner and Brenda Ekwurzel of the Union of Concerned Scientists, the authors allege that increased wildfires are due to emissions from "88 major fossil fuel producers and cement manufacturers".

A partisan article at CNN by Rachel Ramirez titled "More than a third of the area charred by wildfires in Western North America can be traced back to fossil fuels, scientists find"[2] citing the "open access letter" explained that researchers in the study came to their conclusions by taking "actual climate data and compar[ing] it to an idealized, modeled version of the world where there was no fossil fuel pollution from the 88 companies..."

"STATEMENT REGARDING ABORIGINAL LAND RIGHTS"

In April 1986 several hundred attendees of The Broad Left Conference in Melbourne signed an add in the National Times "STATEMENT REGARDING ABORIGINAL LAND RIGHTS".
