they double down
Trying to save some habitat whose critters can then be fried in the next wildfire, no doubt. Reminds me of those stupid commercials about saving sea birds from oil slicks, when the degreaser they use also removes all their protective natural oils, and they die anyway.
the before and after photos do not appear to have been taken from the same location...
And there lies the crux of the issue.
“What the forest service is proposing is only going to make the situation worse,” Hart said. “They’re not considering moisture in the forest. They’re focusing solely on fuels which is only part of the story. When you go into a moist dense forest and thin or unleash industrial logging within that area, you allow more sunlight and more wind to penetrate the canopy. You dry out the forest you make it more fire prone, and you reduce the ability of residents to evacuate when there is a wind-driven fire event which is the most dangerous because the fire progresses much faster through a less dense forest that’s drier.”
The question is: Is this guy correct?
No
Either by humans or fire but the forest WILL BE managed.
Typical retort by a nut that has no idea of good forest stewardship.
No idea at all.
Similar to what happened in Pacific Palisades, where the electric co. began replacing 100-year-old lines in an outlying area. When ecomaniacs saw the crews had trampled some milkvetch plants, they complained at the top of their lungs and the much-needed upgrades were abandoned.
Current:
Palisades
Eaton (a friend got burned out there)
Hurst
Auto
Next:
Plumas National Forest
Yup—one hundred year old wooden telephone poles make perfect fuel for wild fires.
Indeed.
Unfortunately.
He might be right until there is a dry spell and then poof all gone.
Environmental groups not sure what conservation means or how many wheels it has.
When God was giving out brains, liberals thought He said “trains” and thus they’re still delaying the project.
Ya know, it’d be a damned shame should some non-eco terrorist show up and set a bunch of fires in there.
I’m not saying I’m going to do it, or that anyone else should, just that it’d be a shame if someone did.
NOOOOOO
When they stopped the logging-—they LOST the fire roads that the LOGGING COMPANIES were maintaining. AGAIN-—THE LOGGING COMPANIES WERE MAINTAINING THOSE ROADS!!!!
The trees are so over grown now that they are competing for sunlight/space/water.
Those WEAKENED trees are prime targets for BARK BEETLES/
THEN THOSE Weakened trees go down, and more BARK BEETLE BANQUETS !!!!
NO LUMBER is used-—and eventually the forests are gone from OVERCROWDING.
MILKVETCH——
AKA LOCOWEED
This is some nerve at this point in time. I mean it’s like telling those who lost everything to FU.
