[MCN] A rant on fire: What do we most need to "manage"?

[Jeff Juel]

"Harvesting trees to manage fire can make some difference, how much is 
debatable, but it’s a false hope if we can’t/don’t/won’t also push hard 
for harvest of the energy we can get from solar and wind."

Agreed that fossil fuel combustion must end, Lance. However the idea of 
manipulating forest "fuels" to control fire is industry propaganda, pure 
and simple.  And as scientists have modeled, forests--even subject to 
fire--sequester more carbon when left unlogged.
