California Wildfires Caused By Radical Environmentalists, Not Climate Change
Our forests are now catastrophically overgrown, often carrying four times
the number of trees the land can support. In this stressed and weakened
condition, our forests are easy prey for drought, disease, pestilence and
fire.—Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA)
The United States Forest Service was originally founded to protect forests
from the ravages of fire to preserve it for future generations. That
thinking was abandoned in favor of the flawed “no-use movement,” or the “
rewilding” theory, which blames humans for the “degradation of our planet.
” “Rewilding the land can repair damage we’ve caused and reconnect us to
the natural world,” National Geographic claims.

For decades, traditional forest management was scientific and successful –
that is until ideological, preservationist zealots wormed their way into
government and began the 40-year overhaul of sound federal forest management
through abuse of the Endangered Species Act and the no-use movement.
Traditional forest management had simple guidelines: thin the forest when it
becomes too difficult to walk through; too many trees in the woods will
compete with one another, because the best trees will grow at a slower rate.
The U.S. Forest Service used to be a profitable federal agency, McClintock
said. “Up until the mid-1970s, we managed our National Forests according to
well-established and time-tested forest management practices.”
“But 40 years ago, we replaced these sound management practices with what
can only be described as a doctrine of benign neglect,” McClintock said. “
Ponderous, Byzantine laws and regulations administered by a growing cadre of
ideological zealots in our land management agencies promised to “save the
environment.” The advocates of this doctrine have dominated our law, our
policies, our courts and our federal agencies ever since.”
Today, only privately managed forests are maintained through the traditional
forest management practices: thinning, cutting, clearing, prescribed burns,
and the disposal of the resulting woody waste.
“THREE YEARS AFTER TREE FARMER NEIL CLEMONS THINNED HIS FOREST NEAR NEWPORT
, WASHINGTON, THINGS START TO HAPPEN,” THE AMERICAN FOREST FOUNDATION
EXPLAINED. “THE SHRUBS GET BIGGER. THE DOUGLAS FIRS POP WITH NEW GROWTH ON
THEIR TIPS. ‘THEY LIGHT UP WITH THAT LIGHTER GREEN LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE,’
HE SAYS. ‘AND YOU CAN SEE THE WILDLIFE MOVE IN—ELK AND MOOSE.’”
McClintock said the forest service used to auction surplus timber harvested
from national forests. This served two purposes: 1) clearing, cleaning, and
thinning the forest; 2) providing usable timber for a myriad of industries.
The timber the forest service auctioned off more than paid for the entire
federal agency, and then some. Local governments even received 25 percent of
the proceeds of the lumber auctions, while 75 percent went to the federal
government.
“Revenues that our forest management agencies once produced – and that
facilitated our forest stewardship – have all but dried up,” McClintock
said. This has devastated rural communities that once thrived from the
forest economy. McClintock said there were once 147 timber mills; now,
there are only 29 in the country.
McClintock also pointed out that despite the growing population, visitation
to national forests has declined significantly as the health of our forests
has decayed. “We can no longer manage lands to prevent fire or even salvage
dead timber once fire has destroyed it,” he said.
Private forests are still managed properly, but not forests on public lands.
That sound practice grounded to a halt when the most radical
environmentalists took over. Now thick, overgrown and diseased forests have
become tinder boxes and are burning down in California, leaving a trail of
death and destruction.
What Happened?
In 2012, the Obama administration issued a major rewrite of all of the
country’s forest rules and guidelines, adding so many rules, regulations
and layers of bureaucracy, grounding all forest management to a halt.
McClintock said that to even cut one tree down in the national forest,
forest managers were forced to apply to the federal government for a study.
The other big problem is these burdensome regulatory requirements greatly
inflate the cost of forest management, McClintock said. “Between the
studies and litigation, the process was endless,” McClintock added.
When forest managers attempted to address public lands ravaged by disease,
beetles or fires, they were met with a wall of bureaucracy. “Public lands
take years’ worth of environmental review for studies,” McClintock said.
“By then, the timber has lost most of its commercial value. Essentially,
the public land is abandoned. The laws make it cost prohibitive to salvage.”
The Catastrophic Canard of Climate Change
Gov. Jerry Brown has spent a great deal of time jetting around the world
spouting climate change propaganda, and now he calls these year-round
wildfires California’s “new normal.”
Rep. McClintock pointed out the obvious: the same climate change impacts
private lands as public lands, but private forests are not burning down
because they are properly managed. Or if a fire does break out on privately
managed forest land, it is often extinguished more quickly and easily
because the trees aren’t so close together, and the underbrush has been
cleared away.
We are now living with the result of radical environmentalism ideology –
that we should abandon our public lands to overpopulation, overgrowth, and
in essence, benign neglect, McClintock said. “Forest fires, fueled by
decades of pent up overgrowth are now increasing in their frequency and
intensity and destruction.”
He added, “excess timber WILL come out of the forest in one of only two
ways. It is either carried out or it burns out.”
McClintock was able to pass legislation last year, which streamlined the
environmental reviews for the Tahoe Basin. “The Forest Service regional
manager told me it will take their review from 800 pages to 40 pages, and
allow them to begin to get the forest there back to a sustainable level,”
McClintock said. | D***I
发帖数: 1957 | 2 激进环境主义者引发的加州野火，而不是气候变化
我们的森林现在灾难性地过度生长，通常是土地可以支撑的树木数量的四倍。在这种压
力和弱化的条件下，我们的森林很容易成为干旱，疾病，瘟疫和火灾的牺牲品。-rep。
汤姆麦克林托克（R-CA）
美国林务局最初成立的目的是保护森林免受火灾的肆虐，以便为后代保护森林。这种思
想被抛弃，有利于有缺陷的“不使用运动”，或“重建”理论，它将人类归咎于“我们
星球的退化。”“ 重建土地可以修复我们造成的破坏并重新连接我们自然界，“国家
地理声称。

几十年来，传统的森林管理是科学和成功的 - 直到意识形态，保护主义狂热者进入政
府并开始通过滥用濒危物种法和不使用运动进行40年的健全联邦森林管理改革。
传统的森林管理有一个简单的指导方针：当森林变得难以通过时，使森林变薄; 树林里
的树木太多会相互竞争，因为最好的树木会以较慢的速度生长。
麦克林托克说，美国林务局曾经是一个有利可图的联邦机构。“直到20世纪70年代中期
，我们根据完善且经过时间考验的森林管理实践管理了我们的国家森林。”
“但是40年前，我们将这些声音管理实践取代为只能被描述为良性忽视的学说，”麦克
林托克说。“在我们的土地管理机构中，越来越多的意识形态狂热者管理着庞大的拜占
庭法律和法规，承诺”拯救环境。“从那以后，这种学说的拥护者一直主导着我们的法
律，政策，法院和联邦机构。 ”
今天，只有通过传统的森林管理做法才能保持私人管理的森林：变薄，切割，清理，规
定的烧伤以及处理由此产生的木质废物。
“树木农民死后的三年里，在华盛顿附近的森林附近，森林里的东西开始发生，”美国
森林基金会解释说。“SHRUBS获得了更大的收获。DOUGLAS FIRS在他们的提示上有了新
的增长。“他们点亮了绿色的圣诞树，就像圣诞树一样，”他说。“而且你可以看到野
生动物在耳边移动。”
麦克林托克说，森林服务过去常常拍卖从国家森林采伐的多余木材。这有两个目的：1
）清理，清理和疏伐森林; 2）为无数行业提供可用的木材。森林服务拍卖的木材超过
了整个联邦机构的付款，然后是一些。地方政府甚至收到了25％的木材拍卖收益，而75
％的收入用于联邦政府。
“我们的森林管理机构曾经产生的收入 - 这促进了我们的森林管理 - 几乎全部枯竭，
”麦克林托克说。这破坏了曾经从森林经济中茁壮成长的农村社区。McClintock说曾经
有147家木材厂; 现在，全国只有29个。
麦克林托克还指出，尽管人口不断增长，但由于我们森林的健康状况已经衰退，对国家
森林的访问量已显着下降。他说：“一旦火灾摧毁了木材，我们就再也无法管理土地以
防止火灾甚至打捞死木材。”
私人森林仍然得到妥善管理，但公共土地上没有森林。
当最激进的环保主义者接管时，这种声音实践停滞不前。现在，厚厚的，过度生长的和
患病的森林变成了火堆，在加利福尼亚燃烧，留下了死亡和破坏的痕迹。
发生了什么？
2012年，奥巴马政府对该国所有森林规则和指导方针进行了重大改写，增加了许多规则
，法规和官僚机构，使所有森林管理陷入停滞。麦克林托克说，即使在国家森林砍伐一
棵树，森林管理者也被迫向联邦政府申请进行研究。麦克林托克说，另一个大问题是这
些繁琐的监管要求极大地增加了森林经营的成本。“在研究和诉讼之间，这个过程是无
止境的，”麦克林托克补充道。
当森林管理者试图解决被疾病，甲虫或火灾蹂躏的公共土地时，他们遇到了官僚主义的
隔离墙。“公共土地需要多年的环境评估才能进行研究，”麦克林托克说。“到那时，
木材已经失去了大部分的商业价值。从本质上讲，公共土地被废弃了。这些法律使得打
捞成本过高。“
气候变化的灾难性灾难
州长杰里·布朗花了大量时间在世界范围内喷射气候变化宣传，现在他将这些全年野火
称为加州的“新常态”。
众议员McClintock明确指出：同样的气候变化会影响私人土地作为公共土地，但私人森
林并没有因为管理得当而被烧毁。或者，如果在私人管理的林地上发生火灾，它通常会
更快速，更容易地熄灭，因为树木不是那么靠近，而且草丛已被清除。
麦克林托克说，我们现在生活在激进的环保主义意识形态的结果之下 - 我们应该放弃
我们的公共土地，使人口过剩，过度生长，实质上是良性疏忽。“由于数十年被压抑的
过度生长而引发的森林大火现在的频率，强度和破坏都在增加。”
他补充说，“多余的木材将以两种方式之一从森林里出来。它要么被执行要么被烧毁。“
麦克林托克去年通过了立法，简化了塔霍盆地的环境审查。“森林服务区域经理告诉我
，它将从800页到40页进行审查，并允许他们开始将森林恢复到可持续的水平，”麦克
林托克说。 |
