How is pm2.5 not something we can have a direct impact on based on environmental laws?


Ask California and all the wildfires.


How is wildfire frequency and severity not directly impacted by regulation?


Wildfires are already illegal in California. As is producing a lot of noxious smoke! They even have an entire (rather large) government division (CALFIRE) responsible for stopping them.

For some reason, nature DGAF.

Or do you have some other policy proposal? Banning lightning or fire perhaps? Making trees illegal?
