The Obama administration released a comprehensive strategy document Wednesday aimed at reducing wildfires, which it says are being exacerbated by climate change.

The strategy recommends preventive measures like controlled burns, municipal and state zoning to reduce the effects of sprawl and incorporating watersheds into local management plans.

“As climate change spurs extended droughts and longer fire seasons, this collaborative wildfire blueprint will help us restore forests and rangelands to make communities less vulnerable to catastrophic fire,” said Jack Boots, acting chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality.

“The deceit of this gang never ceases to surprise. After exacerbating wildfire incidence through poor management practices they now want to blame it all on global warming and increase their footprint and authority to do even more harm.”.

Definitely nailed it here. Living near heavily forested “federal land”, we see evidence of this every day. A major tornado tore through our area and severely damaged many acres of federal and private timbered lands. The feds left the debris on their lands claiming it is good wildlife habitat while private land owners, knowing full well the high potential for wildfires cleaned up their lands. Wildlife is abundant on BOTH types of land in this area.

Odd. Slash and burn has a long history in Kenya.
