Aswell as they(legislature) not letting electric companies cut down trees near powerlines and/or letting leaf litter be burned they don't want to "harm" the environment but end up completely annihilating forest and communities when fires do start.

@@argus4650 thank a Democrat

Dragon Master idk

Yeah okay buddy

They only stopped doing that in the last decade or so

Trueeeee

Nah, here in my country we called it kaingin(ka-e-ngen) but it really discourage we love nature and we encourage to plants more trees. FYI I'm from Philippines

I really feel bad becausethey burn the ground though they says it is in a healthy way

@@karlpatrickprias8185 oo naman bro.... Kaingin is not suited sa rainforest natin, s kanila outback grassland common ang bushfire s kanila kaya apoy ang panlaban nila sa apoy kasi. Dahil bihira ang ulan..😊😇🙏

@Loli4lyf With all due respect man. I get what you are saying but you are not completely right. I wanna say that I am a doctor (General Physician) and a Non Hindu so that you can see that I am not biased about this. I live in India where we practice Ayurveda(5000 years old healthcare tradition in India from plants). My sister has fibromyalgia and TMJ- intense muscle pain and skeleton degradation of the jaw bones making her unable to chew food. I knew that there were no FDA approved cures to this disease. Just muscle relaxers. Still me being a doctor myself I took her to all the famous hospitals and ortho and maxillofacial docs throughout India and even at California USA. I didn't believe in this herbs and even homeopathy as being a qualified allopathic doctor. My grandmother (95 years old) insisted that I consider her taking ayurvedic medicine. After 7 years of severe pain my sister endured, I finally gave in and tried ayurvedic medicine and ointments for her. After about 9 months of treatment( no cost at all when compared to modern medicine. It only cost me about $800 for her 9 months treatment)...My sister was Pain free. Its not a complete cure but 99% of the pain subsided. She can eat food too. I was blown away. Like literally. I am a god damn doctor and tried everything in the books but of no use. But only after 9 months of treatment she back to her normal life. My only regret is that I waited 7 years before allowing her to try ayurvedic.. This is just 1 story of several millions. We humans survived 500,000 years after migrating from africa without modern medicine. Modern medicine is literally about big pharmaceutical corporations making money out of patients. Create a problem offer a solution. And FYI: I dont use insulin for my diabetes even tho I can get it for free( docs get free samples), I use ayurvedic herbs. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Have better control on my sugar levels than i did with my insulin. My education: MBBS, MD. I respect science. But I respect more the history and the traditions that made us survive this far.

Ok if we are gonna focus on the medicine point then let’s question how have they managed to stay around? We have cures for man made illnesses, you’ve watched too many movies if you think these medicine men don’t know what they are doing. Also I’m sure it is proven that the govonola tree is 10000 more effective than chemotherapy. Found in remote regions of the Amazon. Also isn’t acupuncture a form of old tribal medicine? Soooo any other stupid replies ?

And thank you Steve for your experience. I have had no personal experience with medicines but I know a lot about plants herbs trees and weeds and let’s just say a lot of medicine is not given to us because it’s either not locally sourced or it’s not able to make the pharmaceutical companies money.

@Loli4lyf there just hasn't been sufficient research done on traditional practices. But just because there are not substantial scientific evidence to prove that they are helpful does not mean that we are allowed to discredit their practices . For example yoga and meditation are traditional practices which has been practiced for hundreds of years and they have been proven to have health benefits .

I’m not sure if it’s true... But my family also told me that it was a great way to exterminate ticks and other parasites, but unfortunately it got banned ☹️

Controlled burning was never stopped. The environmentalists weren't the main reason permits were put in place, the fire fighters were. People would do a "controlled burn" by setting fires, but had no training, no fire breaks anywhere, and caused massive fires they lost control of. There is literally a park ranger in this video describing how they do hazard reduction burns. The myth about "greenies" stopping burns is ludicrous. The greenies want exactly what these indigenous Australians want - back burns done the right way, so the animals and environment are harmed as little as possible. Many people latch on to this argument of back burns not happening - even though they are - because they deny climate science.

@@haydencondely5187 Thank you for correcting this muppet

@@haydencondely5187 Well no, greenies have prevented backburning because of 'endangered lizards' were at risk. There was a story about it down in melbourne.

@@chrispsackettThat's was a made up hoax. By foreign agents not even from Australia.

"So much to learn" 😂😂😂 These people hadn't invented the wheel or passed the stone age. They lived brutal existences and usually died young, either from a preventable disease or from tribal warfare. They would often wage bloody war because of a natural event like a cyclone which they believed happened because a neighboring tribe cast a spell on them so they would seek revenge against them. But yeah, go on, tell us about how they are smarter than the people who can launch a satellite into space.

Bro White people existed as well and we didn't just sit around doing nothing. Why do you act like no other people existed haha.

Not just the cause but the fuel to grow so fast

here in california everything is just constantly on fire

It’s being apart of a discussion. Both sides had a chance to voice how they felt. It’s needed to come to solution. It’s actually the grown up way of doing things.

@@agiantcub8it542 berating people that agree with you and giving them attitude while you outnumber them 20 to 1? Nah. Thats some schoolyard bullshit.

Who is berating him?If someone is doing a bad job,they are going to get lectured,get over it.

@@lilcrust3063 this guy literally said he doesn't think it was good. He's agreeing with them. And they're coming at him like the whole operation is his idea. That's like being mad at the McDonald's manager because the food is unhealthy. He just fuckin works there man.

The video doesnt show you everything. Its only bits and pieces. For all we know those lecturing are meant for someone else or a differe topic.

@Mukbang 2 no the world will understand the value of sight

That's hot

Yup. I've read in a few places California doesn't do this anymore which is contributing to their fires. In their defense, I believe it's to allow for more biodiversity. If true, there's gotta be middle ground.

Work with native tribes?

@@bryanjk it wouldn't hurt to let people collect firewood either, especially downed trees

It's not seems a good solution, it is the solution.

They burn the dry plants I think, dry plants will make fires worse so burning them will be great

It can. Aboriginals wiped out the megafauna and destroyed many forests with their stupid practices.

@Chris Russell exactly

@Chris Russell How come the temperatures are rising?

Dont you think that's why it's done in the fall?

Finally, a sensible comment. This argument about controlled burns being banned and the environmentalists banning all back burning is ludicrous. Usually it's just a way for people to deny climate science by latching on to a baseless argument that is perpetuated by our mainstream media.

How is the title clickbait? It said that this method could stop wildfires, this is true

The title implies that this is a brand new inovation that hasn't been used before. Clickbait doesn't have to lie, it just has to strongly lead the reader to assume something its not. The "could" in the title should be a "has". Most Australians already know that Aboriginal back burning is to thank for preventing huge bushfires that would've killed people and burned down homes.

It's burning away all the underbrush *fuel* so you can't have gigantic runaway wildfires like they do every year in California.

Because they weren’t doing as many of these controlled fires

Sir Deadeye 🤔🤔🤔

Jassa Palahi what do you mean by “🤔🤔🤔”?

Matrisse Watego aah okok

Might be the lesser of 2 evils. A larger forest fire would also burn the canopy releasing even more co2 and destroying the plant life converting it to oxygen. Not to mention if it destroys homes which would release even more co2 when they are rebuilt

@John Teare But new life would then grow, absorbing the released C02. That happened every year when plants die in winter on one side of the world, they spring new life on the other side where it's not cold. It keeps itself in balance. Mass land clearing along with large amounts of C02 pollution throw it out of balance, which equals climate change.

Why not?

Wow it’s ancient tradition to pass on knowledge

They should respect the natural practices.

What would a runaway wildfire that results from all the shrubbery *fuel* you want to leave behind do to your bird life.

Don’t say bad words

Does Australia want to have one every year, like California? No? Then that's how it will save Australia.

Incorrect. They tend to grow back better than before

@@sophiewhitehouse6718 oh ok

@@sophiewhitehouse6718 but the world is getting worst

@@sophiewhitehouse6718 is not good for out planet if they keep doing it /burning it

These backburns are smaller and produce less CO2 than the huge fires

I understand where you are coming from but if this actually helps minimize the risk of more dangerous natural wildfires that can cause alot of damage to wildlife and property and can result in death , than why not use it ? After all prevention is better than cure .

Karen spotted!
