Global Warming, Endangered Species, and Forest Fires: The Irony Of It All
The root cause of all these wildfires can be found in the lack of proper
#ForestManagement. The attempt to protect and save
#EndangeredSpecies has resulted in policies that do not allow for the removal of dead wood and rough scrub from the forest. This in turn creates an environment where forests are easily ignited. The result. The destruction of the habitat for every species in the forest and placing massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. The carbon takes the form of
#CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere. Ironic. Ignorance and Arrogance has consequences.
