In the western United States there used to be better "land management" which included controlled burns and timber harvesting. Even the indigenous Indians used to do controlled burns as part of their culture of land management. Nature actually uses periodic fires to promote a healthy forest. There are seeds for reforestation that are only activated by fire.
When the well-meaning and overly enthusiastic "tree huggers" protested to stop timber harvesting and controlled fires, that is when the fires had more fuel to burn more intensely.

I find it ironic when the intensity of the fires can be linked back to the very people trying to keep the forests pristine.

The native Americans in the western United States found the right balance for land management.

The biggest problem in the United States right now is regulations being made by people living in cities and not by those living on and off the land. Most Americans in cities have no idea of how to fish, grow vegetables, or milk a cow. Ask a child in the city where chocolate milk comes from: if they do not say from the store, they will often say from a chocolate cow.

It seems the further people get away from the land, the worse we manage the land through regulations made by people who could not live off the land.

I have said this before, here is my thoughts on climate change:
Climate change is real. The climate is always changing. The climate is dynamic, always seeking to maintain balance over long periods of time. The climate oscillates as it adjusts to many factors. The oscillation causes droughts, ice ages, periods of warming and periods of cooling.

Have a great day!
Steem on,
