“The Forest Service is trying to thin out young trees and underbrush to control wildfires that are increasing in frequency and intensity in part because of global warming.””
Yet the forest service employees contribute to the enviro ‘non profits’ to stop that very thing...thinning.
They might try ‘thinning’ out the illegal alien Mexican Drug cartels from burning down our forests...just one of them, 88,000 acres lost in the La Brea fire in California a few months ago. And yes, it was proven it was started by Mexicans. It isn’t the first and it won’t be the last.
Strange world or what?
All the money used to be in cocaine and heroin, now it’s in weed. It’s being exported to other countries .. or so I hear.
Add in cartels and we see why venturing in the forest these days can be very dangerous ..
Old trees don't take in and sequester much CO2 compared to young trees and underbrush type plants. They are thinning out the wrong kind of trees and plants if the aim is to take more CO2 out of the air.
