Steve, again, logging forests to remove trees isn’t in any way a responsible method of reducing the severity of fires. It makes no goddamn sense even as an argument. I mean, sure, if you log all the trees, there won’t be any fires. There also won’t be any trees. It takes about half a second of thought to realize that logging obviously isn’t a natural way of promoting forest health.

The main reasons for severity of forest fires and their impact on housing are:

A) Decades of forest mismanagement in which fires were aggressively fought, so tinder has built up.

B) Long droughts and higher heat

C) Development so that housing is closer to the wilderness and forest areas.
