The recent forest fires in eastern Canada that blanketed the northeast with smoke due to a freak weather pattern should be a wakeup call to American lawmakers who, like Chuck Schumer, immediately claim that “climate change” was the sole cause of this health and environment issue when better forest management is the real answer. Having suppressed forest fires that naturally manage the forests while at the same time dramatically curtailing good forest management practices like logging, clearing the forest floor and replanting has grossly exacerbated the danger. It’s time for politicians to quit playing politics and allow forest professionals to do their jobs before we lose even more of our natural resources to fire.
