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.

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.

Apparently indeed. Strange, no? --LOL

"biggest trees which are more resistant to fire and leave the little ones and debris all over. "

I hate to agree with them but I think this may be true. But I don't interpret this to mean we don't harvest trees, just that we manage the problem to create a win/win for the economy and the environment

Any experts out there?
