For thousands of years, humans and fire had a deal. Fire exists because of the oxygen generated by life. Civilization exists because it partnered with fire.          Fire had co-evolved with Life. We carried fire to new places, fire gave us power to reshape the world. That ancient partnership made civilization possible—and breaking it may destroy us.The fires burning today aren't the fires our grandparents knew. They're faster, hotter, and more destructive than anything in recorded history. Forest fires that once burned every few years now explode into crown fires that kill everything. Grass fires race through suburbs faster than people can flee. Lightning-fast fuel conversion turns safe landscapes deadly in hours.How did we get here? A century of fire suppression broke nature's "herd immunity"—turning forests from parklike landscapes into overgrown tinderboxes. Climate change loaded the dice for extreme fire weather. Now we live in what fire historian Stephen Pyne calls the "Pyrocene"—a fire age replacing the ice ages.The ancient contract that made us human has become a Faustian bargain. We gained incredible power but lost the balance that kept fire manageable. Now fire is writing the rules. Learn how we need to toss all we thought about how fire use to work, and how we can play by those new rules.<a href='https://sites.google.com/d/1WTK8t-kdH2dCorTkG7Kx4F8EjsUkjs7t/p/1WrM11CAcLqdj6C7KndYWeXe1nX_E45XC/edit'> A CALL TO ACT: A Comprehensive On-line Database of Eco-Solutions</a>"<a href='https://sites.google.com/d/1WTK8t-kdH2dCorTkG7Kx4F8EjsUkjs7t/p/1bwNCm9BpzWvhiN_uVg25n00hjEJBMEcQ/edit'>TRUMPING TRUMP" Database for the New American Resistance Revolution</a>
