Today& #39;s @washingtonpost gives op-ed space to preposterous misinformation by a Republican politician re #ORfires2020. She blames them on enviros not letting enough logging happen. Here& #39;s the satellite view of one of the 5 current megafires, Archie Creek, showing that it burned 1/3
2/3 an area that, as you can plainly see, has been largely devoted to industrial clear-cutting. The same is true of CA& #39;s #NorthComplex #CAFires2020 2/3
3/3 as well as the Camp fire that destroyed Paradise, the King fire, and many others. Not the mention the Northwest& #39;s earlier champion fires, Tillamook and Yacolt. Industrial timber "management" does not reduce fire risk, and never has.
