MODEL2   Things are a bit out of balance.

Script

John: The seventh straight day of rain. It’s too much. Things are a bit out of balance.

Susan: Yeah, too much rain here, too little there. Last summer firestorms destroyed many parts of the globe.

John: Firestorms are a pretty interesting phenomenon. They generate 1 so much heat that they create their own weather. Nothing you can do about it.

Susan: Once a fire developed into a firestorm, there’s no stopping it. Some people think we shouldn’t try.

John: You mean, just let the forests burn? How can we watch people’s homes on fire with folded arms?

Susan: Some experts argue that forest fires are part of nature, and that we shouldn’t try to interfere 2, except, of course, to save homes and lives.

John:  It seems wrong to let all good timber 3 burn. What a waste that would be!

Susan: But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris 4 that collects on the forest floor and creating new kind of growth.

John: Maybe so, but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn.

Susan: After all, there have been verdant 5 forests for millions of years without man’s help fighting the fires.

John: That may be true, but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forest fires
