Forests That Survive Megafires Prove Good Management Trumps Climate Change

•  A large, well-managed California forest has survived the high-intensity Creek Fire raging around it
•  Other forests, including in Yosemite, survived 2013, 2014, & 2018 megafires
•  Cases prove that good forest management trumps climate change

Would it help if politicians emphasized the need for better forest management, rather than just climate change? Forest scientists say yes.

A good start would be for Newsom to acknowledge that a century of fire suppression, not climate change, is what poses the existential threat to California’s forests.
