What the Green kooks don't realize is that the trees that are thinned aren't logging material anyway. These 'junk' trees are used more for paper pulp than anything- if anything at all. These kind of junk trees fuel forest fires, and allow fires to spread quickly over incredible distances.

On the DUH side for these idiots, for every home that is lost in a forest fire, trees are needed to provide the wood for rebuilding.

More trees would be cut down to replace the burned homes then actually burned during the fire.
Not to mention the replacement of all the copper wiring that comes from mining and smelting, which requires coal/oil/nuclear power to run the smelter and lumber mills and all the gasoline/diesel fired trucks used in the transportation of the materials.

The replacement of all the carpeting which is manufactured from synthetic materials as a byproduct of the oil industry.

Imagine the environmental savings by preventing forest fires through managed forest thinning. Liberals just don't think.
