This argument always misses the forest for the trees (pun intended). The precise reason that fire suppression, Forest management and hardening infrastructure are so important now is.....
Climate change. It's the reason we have so much beetle kill. Sure, maybe we should log certain places, or not log certain places. It's completely delusional to say that Forest management is the problem when we've had the hottest driest weather in history 3 of the last 4 years. Yes, we need mitigation. But let's go ahead and be clear about what's happening here
