The growing field of “firetech” is reinventing the age-old practice of prescribed burns and devising other novel methods of preventing and suppressing fires.

OK so? You didn’t understand what I said. We’re trying to fix the problem we caused by trying to change nature in unpredictable ways, with unpredictable consequences. Se need to focus on the root of the problem.
There are degrees of uncertainty, and there you don’t have to try a new, or in this case old, idea everywhere all at once. The problem is too mich carbon is in the air, getting as much of it out as quickly as practical is the priority. Nothing mentioned here seems to be at odds with cutting carbon emissions, so i don’t see why you seem to think that it’s one or the other.
Nature isn’t unpredictable. It’s done the same thing forever. We are the ones fucking it up.
What’s hard to predict are the consequences of us further messing with it. We always think we can just tweak things. Like fixing forest fires or seeding clouds of sulfur. We’re just naive apes with fancy tools.
If we valued a homeostatic, intentional civilization we could be the immune system of the planet instead of the capitalistic cancer we currently are.
