The southwest US is burning

Another solution to burning the forests is to allow logging to happen. There has been a lot of resistance to letting folks log the forests.
I totally understand the "want" to not log old growth trees. And I agree with not cutting down 200 year old trees. However, the forest needs thinning. It's only a small "alternative" to prescribed burns.
If you prescribe a burn in the full mountain woods, it will be out of control in no time. So that approach doesn't really work too well.
We have some forest prescribes, but they are put out quickly and are typically on Ranch land and not public lands.

The great red woods literally depend on fires in some ways. Yet, california protects them and doesn't let fire get anywhere around those giants. In some ways, I get that too. They are disappearing due to climate change.

Not democrat climate change. But Scientific climate change that has been happening since this planet was made/existed.
