Here is a graphic from the Sacramento Bee about the increase fires in the SW during the 1990's. Just more data re the fires and their sizes re connected to the Druid agendas:

Great graphic. The group at NAU is trying to do research in an attempt to solve this problem in the least costly manner in terms of dollars and the environment. I say trying, because the greenie groups have protested or sued to prevent some of the thinning planned by the research group. And I don't know how much that group is looking at timber harvest as part of the solution (or even if they have been allowed to consider it part of the solution), given that any timber cutting in national forests is as politically incorrect as supporting the Boy Scouts these days.
