These forest management types say the wild fires that have been ravaging California are a dire threat to the survival of the only Giant Sequoias on the planet. Well, maybe like everything else California does, their land management sucks too.
My own population of Giant Sequoias has increased 300% in the last few years and we haven’t lost a single tree to wildfires for as long as I’ve been around.
Perhaps they might want to plant a few in the rainforests of the Washington and Oregon. And while they’re at it they might think about a program to establish them as widely around the world as possible. Because the way California is going it will be a desert where even scorpions and cactus won’t be able to endure. Is there anything Marxists can’t destroy? Apparently not.
Good suggestion about distributing trees worldwide cuz Marxists can destroy anything.
Here’s the thing Neil, the western half of the United States has been drying out since the end of the last Ice Age. There’s no reason to think that won’t continue for the foreseeable future. If conservationists would like to save Giant Sequoias from extinction they probably should be looking for other habitats around the world that are more in line with the climate requirements of this species. Maybe it won’t work. But it’s definitely a possibility they should explore. That’s what they’re being paid to do. Not just grouse about global warming scare tactics.
