Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management.
火生态学与管理专家、教授Max Moritz表示,尽管野火频发常被视为西部州的问题,但由于其对联邦税收资金的影响,这一现象正在成为全国性的关注问题。
As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?
正如莫里茨所说,联邦资金有多少次是用于建造那些很可能在野火中被毁掉的房屋?
While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn’t come at the expense of the rest of the equation.
虽然气候是一个关键因素,莫里茨表示,但它不应以牺牲方程中的其他要素为代价。
