Just building homes. Isn't a solution. Building homes as a step in a multi step program is. Look at Canada, our entire economy hinges on expensive real estate. There needs to be guardrails in place to prevent the investor class from just buying everything as an investment property.

You brought up other places. I'm talking about here in North America. I'm talking about white folks in North America rejecting the advice of First Nations to not build there because that area was known to have fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados. Climate change has only made it worse fire/flood/ect.

China and India are doing more to get themselves off fossil fuels as an energy source than any Western nation. I gave you two articles from reputable sources, neither of which could be read in the time before your comment timing.

Because Bluesky has a character limit. I linked two articles for you to read. Neither could you have read before responding. TLDR China and India are putting a lot more effort into getting themselves off fossil fuels as an energy source than any Western nation.

I don't live in China, or India so I can't really speak on their relationship with the land. I do live in North America, where the First Nations have a relationship with the land. A relationship they tried to teach us, we never learned. We disrespected the land, now it's fighting back. Go figure.

To be fair, fire is a natural occurrence. And in fact forest fires can be very beneficial to an ecosystem. But because white society has no respect for the land, we think we're better than it. We build wherever we please instead of where the land tells us to. We cut down mountains and dam up rivers.
