Something to consider for the long term: If the left gets its way and shuts down the forest, can a poison pill agreement be inserted? Let's say the policy is implemented and the usual expected firestorm results. Then, by negotiated agreement, the left will agree to let forest management policies be implemented like removal of dead trees, roads to act as fire breaks and for facilitating fire fighting equipment to fight the fires. If they cannot guarantee that anything different will happen, then try to pin them down to an agreement which is more sensible.
Their goal is to destroy the lumber industry, nothing else. The could not care less about the Owl or the forests, it is all about their Communist utopia.
The willful dupes are Virtue Signaling which gives them a moral high in their otherwise empty lives. Everyone worships around the pole of Climate Change.
What did you think of the video?
There is only one thing causing the huge wildfires. I live 1/4 mile from BLM land in two directions, and in a valley that is surrounded by a gazillion acres of BLM forests.
The BLM REFUSES to clean out the slash, undergrowth and other fuels that are the cause of huge wildfires. When they sell timber to logging companies, the BLM does not require them to clean out the slash.
It is that simple.
