It sounds like you're assuming that we aren't using waterbombers. We use hundreds of small, medium and large planes as well as blackhawks, heli-tankers and heli-cranes. We've got US and Canadian planes that flew in about a month ago to help aswell.
The planes and tankers fill up from the many reservoirs we have and have free access to private dams. As a country that doesn't always have a lot of rain, we have a large amount of inland water storage, so acces to water for the bombers has never been a problem.
In almost all cases the sea would be a much much longer trip and waste valuable time. Plus it's salt so it would fuck up planes, pumps and inhibit new growth.

Don't forget that they've drained the water table dry. I read that even with current climate conditions, it would take one hundred years AFTER we go extinct to replenish the water table. We literally drained the earth dry, like wow

Weve done it as well in quite a few places...whats left is so saline its unusable.
Agriculture is the biggest drain.
We grow rice and cotton in the desert.

No it's not, you destroy more land by drilling for oil than ever gowing plants.

I think he's referring to the water resources in Australia sui, not overall damage done to the environment by humans.

I am refering to the burning done by native Americans to the lands they left and burned to keep safe for themselves when they left.
The context is that fires on continents happen and ignoring the causes of them and blaming climate change is silly is some circumstances but not all.

We have stripped the lands diversity of flora and fauna.. We misuse the precious resource that is water. We have polluted the globe by burning fossil fuels. We have unsustainable ways of producing food. We have disconnected from proper land management like controlled burns.
Keep putting these on top of each other till you get to man made climate change.
Not sure what your point is anyway tbh.

Are kangaroos in Australia like deer on the Esst coast of the US? Like when you pull into your driveway do you have a dozen kangaroo stare at you for a minute before they panic and scatter?
Do kangaroos get into subway stations?
Do you have city kangaroos that look both ways before crossing the street?
