In this world where the dems are so busy trying to convince us of climate change, they are simply overlooking one simple fact. Had they removed one out of three trees in those forests, if they left the healthier trees, there would be 1/3 less fuel for the fires, 1/3 less smog and it would be somewhat easier to control the fire. (Incidentally, healthy trees do not burn as readily as as unhealthy trees.)

The truth is that the fire would have not spread as fast making it even easier to control. In the end, perhaps there would have been less than half the damage. I suspect that there would have been only 1/3 the smog.

But then who am I to say anything about the obvious. I mean, there is that climate change thing that must be sold to the public. If we have to burn down half the timber on the continent, so be it. The Greenies just must make their point no matter what the damage.
