US wildfires have killed nearly 20% of world’s giant sequoias in two years

California, unfortunately, needs a lot more wildfires, as the state refuses to do controlled burns, doesn&#x27;t allow clear-cutting, and it&#x27;s hard to pass EIR processes. But 20 million acres of forests need to be removed from the state[1], and there aren&#x27;t a lot of options for how to do it.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.propublica.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;they-know-how-to-prevent-megafires-why-wont-anybody-listen" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.propublica.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;they-know-how-to-prevent-...</a>

“In 2013, the park had done climate modeling that predicted extreme fires wouldn’t jeopardize sequoias for another 50 years, said Christy Brigham, chief of resource management and science at the two parks. But that was at the start of what became a punishing five-year drought that essentially broke the model.”<p>More bs. Droughts have always been common and the period they are talking about shouldn’t have broken any models created by halfway competent scientists.

Better land and brush management could have easily prevented this

Poor governance is more accurately the reason

This sounds like a good thing, from natures standpoint.
