Forest Thinning Saves Lives

[Kulturkampf]

But we are thinning forests... Trees are a very renewable resource, my friend, and sometimes they burn a little too much and threaten houses, Chojin.

You are strawmanning me... I propose thinning of forests and you pretend I take a more extreme stance.

This is simply ERRONEOUS.

[derrida]

the problem with most logging is that it results in dense stands of young growth, which are the most susceptible to fires. fire breaks do work, and we need to make roads safe for people, so i can't take issue with the letter of what you are saying. (and anyone who disagrees probably doesnt shower regularly. why would you waste time addressing people who arent even in the mainstream of thought on environmentalism? is it easier to paint a movement by picking and choosing the negative qualities of its least thoughtful members?) the problem is that this is going to be used to justify public money subsidizing what timber companies should be doing in the first place: forest management.
