BACK IN JANUARY, THE NEW YORK TIMES AGREED WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDED TO IMPROVE ITS FORESTRY MANAGEMENT
Editorial by Kevin Ryan
The deadliest and most destructive fire in California's history was finally brought under control by firefighters yesterday, more than two weeks after it erupted. So far 87 people are confirmed to have been killed in the blaze, and many are still missing.
But the media firestorm continues over President Trumpโs assertion that poor forest management contributed to the disaster. After Trump tweeted that better forest management could have prevented, or at least mitigated, the damage caused by the devastating wildfires, the media and California politicians said his assertion was false.
A spokesman for California Governor Jerry Brown said that the president's assertion was โinaneโ and โuninformed.โ The New York Times wrote a piece entitled โTrumpโs Misleading Claims About Californiaโs Fire โMismanagementโโ
Yet just a few months back, both Governor Brown and The New York Times said basically the same thing as Trump.
In a January article, the Times wrote that โA group of scientists warned in the journal BioScience that [100 million] dead trees could produce wildfires on a scale and of an intensity that California has never seen,โ and that โscientists say they cannot even calculate the damage the dead-tree fires might cause; it exceeds what their current fire behavior modeling can simulate.โ
โโItโs something that is going to be much more severe,โ said Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science at Berkeley and the lead author of the study. โYou could have higher amounts of embers coming into home areas, starting more fires.โโ
The Times article even pointed the finger at Californiaโs forestry regulations, saying โCalifornia forests are much more vulnerable now because, paradoxically, they have been better protected. In their natural state, forests were regularly thinned by fire but the billions of dollars that the state spends aggressively fighting wildfires and restrictions on logging have allowed forests to accumulate an overload of vegetationโฆ Thatโs a scenario that could nudge the state into rethinking its forest management.โ
And yet, fast forward to today, and The New York Times is suddenly interviewing โexpertsโ to contradict its previous assertions now that President Trump has also questioned Californiaโs forest management.
โPresident Trumpโs statements, which drew outrage from local leaders and firefighters, oversimplified the cause of Californiaโs wildfires.โ The Times says that the logging advocated by Trump, Republicans, and, apparently, The New York Times last January, would not have helped because โlogging gets rid of trees, but it does not get rid of the kindling โ brush, bushes and twigs. Logging does, however, enable the spread of cheatgrass, a highly combustible weed, which makes a forest more likely to burn.โ
Thatโs basically the opposite of what the Timesโ said earlier this year.
And itโs not just the media reversing itself to discredit Trump. Governor Brownโs office was calling for the same changes to logging regulations just a few months ago. In order to mitigate the fire danger from dead trees, Brown proposed that landowners be permitted to cut trees up to 36 inches in diameter, a jump from the current 26 inches, on properties that are 300 acres or less without getting a timber harvest permit and would also be able to build roads up to 600 feet long.
Of course the environmental lobby opposed it. And now huge swaths of land that environmentalists were โprotectingโ are now embers.
But Brown, and the media, would rather reverse their recent calls for safer forestry management than to agree with the president.

There are only 2 genders. I think what you mean is "there are infinite sexual
attractions and preferences, including not being sexual at all. Asexual". Do not

i am a training clinician and hold a degree in chemistry. not an expert, but not an

follows two developmental pathways. as scientists, it is not helpful to further
confuse the public on this topic.

On Monday, Jon S.
