    No. Even if it was, this isn’t a thing you can beat by throwing bodies or money at. It was just too fast.

    The argument I would allow is if that money had been spent by the world over the last 40 years to prevent climate change.

      Fire mitigation is the issue, reducing its potential effects before it occurs since preventing it entirely is basically impossible. Without the budget, that stuff doesn’t happen, and that’s what leads to faster-spreading wildfires.
