Not forest managers....... the press
I don’t know that they confessed, but I know that some of the fires in CA and Oregon were started by Antifa members. They know who they are, they have identified them. Before that, the year that CA legalized marijuana, the cartel started some massive fires on the new marijuana farms whose insurance only covered the grapes. We had some of it in WA, too. Governor Inslee put a stop to it when he took back the forestry land from the federal government, saying that state was better equipped to take care of forest conservation.
This all started in the Northwest following Obama’s roadless policy.
“wildfires”
But, you said "To assume forest management can control the current fire problem is folly."
and that's where I disagree with what you said. Forest Management properly applied would reduce these fire problems a lot.
Now, a point is made above that most of these fire areas in Canada are too remote for such management to be applied. Which is a very curious thing. Here we have a resource (forests) in enormous demand, and most of it doesn't even have any access.
Canada is forest.
To assume such vast areas can be managed is folly
I understand that management can affect fires but if the areas are vast, the cost is beyond the benefit.
