True, I'm not in denial that the ridiculous current temperatures certainly
make things much worse, but actual forest management experts have known
what needs to be done, and appear to be ignored once it reaches someone who
is in charge of actually making that happen.   I'm referring more to the
popular press that finds it convenient to blame any current natural
disaster on climate change because it fits the narrative.
