Refusing to manage forests isn't environmentally friendly, it's just bad science. Dead, diseased trees are not only releasing carbon into the air, but they're also posing a greater fire risk. Rather than acknowledging this, congressional Dems continue pushing impractical plans. — PolitiTweet.org

Take, for example, this NYT story: "That area hasn’t seen any fire history since the 1940s,” Captain Volmer [a fire behavior analyst at Cal Fire] said, adding that the vegetation in that area is extremely dense, old and dry. https://t.co/6NsNA1pDRO — PolitiTweet.org

So what do we do? Start by recognizing that scientific practices like thinning allow trees to thrive and mitigate fire risk. As urban areas continue growing larger and closer to forests, we can't deny the issues at stake. Sound forest management must be our future. — PolitiTweet.org
