I thought it was interesting that the Canadian wildfires are emitting more carbon than all of the rest of its human activities combined.

A stupid question - why don't people in countries with large forested areas just dig really long and wide trenches with water which would take longer for the fire front to cross (due to winds and general heat it still would, I know)?

One would think this makes sense economically, long-term.
