    Honestly you must be dumber than sticks to not understand what is being said here.

    There are ways to cut trees to make forest fires spread slower, like for example a firebreak. It can slow firespread to critical areas or even stop it from advancing altogether. There is thought put into a firebreak. Not just reckless cutting.

    Drumpf wants to cut “all the trees”, because no trees is no forest, and no forest is no forest fires… Some Idiocracy type thinking if you could even call it that.

    Get better.

      Page 308 of P2025.

      The Forest Service should instead be focusing on addressing the precipitous annual amassing of biomass in the national forests that drive the behavior of wildfires. By thinning trees, removing live fuels and deadwood, and taking other preventive steps, the Forest Service can help to minimize the consequences of wildfires. Increasing timber sales could also play an important role in the effort to change the behavior of wildfire because there would be less biomass.

      Nowhere in the document does it imply to cut all forests, but to thin them and clear out accumulated biomass, exactly as Biden has proposed.

      This must be why the author only posted a link to P2025 and not the actual text, relying on the reader to assume they were being honest.
