Great article until the author veered off into climate crap in the third paragraph...
The findings suggest redwoods have the tools to cope with catastrophic fires driven by climate change, Rocha says. Still, it’s unclear whether the trees could withstand the regular infernos that might occur under a warmer climate regime.
The author asks "Another question is how the redwoods would cope if a second catastrophic fire strikes soon."

But earlier the article points out the inferno devastated the canopy of the trees, so there's nothing left to burn. How would a second catastrophic fire occur without fuel?

“How would a second catastrophic fire occur without fuel?”

It will not.
The trees have adapted to this. See my post.

At least that is what I recall from the text book of Dendrology at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Technology. Where they literally wrote the book.

Sorry, I am getting old. Should be:

the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry @ Syracuse University.

I can’t even remember where I went to college.

LoL! Can you imagine believing the "regular infernos" idiocy and being worried about trees? I mean humans could possibly have a big problem with "regular infernos" covering the Earth.

Build your underwater survival bunker and say goodbye to the trees, hippie.
