    A ddgo search turns up some recent stories. Why would you expect to have been exposed to this news? Do you really think you know everything? That's the problem with you Dunning-Kruger all-stars

    ust over 90 percent of the redwood forests are relatively slender second-growth trees that sprouted within the last 20 to 100 years and, unlike their massive elders, face a perilous future of more frequent and intense wildfires brought on by climate change.

    “That was jaw-dropping to us,” said Emily Burns, director of science for Save the Redwoods League, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that has worked to protect and restore redwoods since 1918. “We saw there wasn’t much old growth left.”

    Burns is a co-author of the league’s 52-page study, “State of Redwoods Conservation Report,” assessing the health of redwoods after a two-century onslaught from commercial logging, development, road building and agriculture, as well as fire suppression.

    The remnants of old-growth forest, found mostly in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, “remain as islands of isolated forests surrounded by degraded and fragmented landscapes” of second-growth forests germinated in the wake of clear-cutting that started in the mid-19th century, the report said

    LMAO. So you are comparing the Santa Ana winds...which are the cause of the massive destruction once a fire starts, to the breezes that flow from the Baltic?

    Or are you just proving that trump's a liar?
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Forest fires were a natural event for eons. Periodic fires get rid of dead undergrowth. Dead stuff is the primary fuel since it takes a tremendous amount of heat to get a live tree to burn. As any camper or hiker who tried to build a fire with green wood will tell you lol.

    Forest rangers use ‘controlled burns’ in many parts of the country for that very reason. I haven’t researched it, but I’ll wager CA environmental groups shut that sort of thing down in CA.

    There has been a spate of forest fires in Finland in the last year.

    Not that it’s worth the effort to post a link to counter this non-story deflection, but Trump and the Finnish leader discussed the issue in Helsinki—according to the Finnish President.

    And yes, they have Forest fires even in Finland. And yes, dry leaves burn quite readily lol.
