but it definitely seems to be a “have my cake and eat it too” moment.
I have the same feeling. The paper he wanted to publish would've been scope bloat imho. Something Nature usually rejects.
Not only did he want to write about how climate change affects wild fires. But then also add in stuff about how forestation methods could be used to prevent wild fires and/or lessen their effect. That's basically two topics, not one. So he would need to write two papers instead.
Academia would even applaud him, cause he now suddenly published two papers which is better for academic rankings.
