You should go to the Sierra Club web site and read a little of their "explanation" of why the fires are made worse by the big logging companies. Oh yes, I'm not kidding. They say that the loggers just chop down the biggest trees which are more resistant to fire and leave the little ones and debris all over. It's really amazing. I could only read so much of that crap before I had to bail out for my own health. Those wackos are just amazing. And dangerous.

Yes, the Sierra Club's position is that logging in general, salvage logging (i.e. picking up wood that falls on the ground) AND roads in general create more and worse forest fires. It's all in their position paper on fores fires on their web site.

Of course, there are ZERO citations of studies or data to substantiate these B.S. claims. (And I'd be very skeptical of any "study" done by a Clymer academic or other leftie "think tank," anyway).

Even more amazing, in light of this "explanation," that the fires are starting in and ravaging public lands while the private forests, owned and exploited by the logging companies, go relatively unscathed. Apparently Mother Nature hasn't been reading the Sierra Club's tripe.
