Will you stop going crazy in there?

Oh no! We're running out of water! Quick, let's slightly reduce the maximum size of a thing that doesn't need to exist at all, but only for new construction!

Holy poo poo we are astoundingly stupid and solutions like this are an awesome microcosm for climate change as a whole. We're not even all that interested in closing the barn doors after the horses get out, we're only really interested in discussing the possibility that perhaps newer barn doors should open slightly more slowly so that hypothetical future horses (which will never exist because the climate will no longer support complex life) escape less dramatically.

Emergency action planned to save giant sequoia trees from wildfires

quote:


THE US FOREST Service is taking emergency action to save giant sequoias, speeding up projects to clear underbrush to protect the world’s largest trees from the increasing threat of wildfires.

The move to bypass some parts of an environmental review could cut years off the normal approval process required to cut smaller trees in national forests and use intentionally-lit, low-intensity fires to reduce dense brush that has helped fuel raging wildfires that have killed up to 20% of all large sequoias over the past two years.

Forest Service chief Randy Moore said: “Without urgent action, wildfires could eliminate countless more iconic giant sequoias.

“This emergency action to reduce fuels before a wildfire occurs will protect unburned giant sequoia groves from the risks of high-severity wildfires.”

The trees, the world’s largest by volume, are under threat like never before. More than a century of aggressive fire suppression has left forests choked with dense vegetation, downed logs and millions of dead trees killed by bark beetles that have fanned raging infernos intensified by drought and exacerbated by climate change.

The announcement is among a wide range of efforts under way to save the species, which is found only on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range in central California.

Most of about 70 groves are clustered around Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and some extend into and north of Yosemite National Park.

Sequoia National Park, which is run by the Interior Department and not subject to the emergency action, is considering a novel and controversial plan to plant sequoia seedlings where large trees have been wiped out by fire.

The Save Our Sequoias (SOS) Act, which also includes a provision to speed up environmental reviews like the Forest Service plan, was recently introduced by a bipartisan group of congressmen including House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, whose district includes sequoias.

The group applauded Mr Moore’s announcement but said more needs to be done to make it easier to thin forests.

They said: “The Forest Service’s action today is an important step forward for giant sequoias, but without addressing other barriers to protecting these groves, this emergency will only continue.

only took 2 years to destroy up to 20% of all giant sequoias

A bit like the advice to plant more trees around your house to keep it cool during heat waves. Meanwhile we're clearing 10 metre defensive zones for when the wildfire comes through. At least the balsams that were shading my house died of natural causes (worsening summer drought over the last decade) so I didn't need to feel guilty about taking a chainsaw to them.

first we need to open an exploratory committee into the possibility of discussing another committee's findings when and only when they come out that the possibility that maybe the findings of another committee when and only when those come out that regarding whether perhaps newer barn doors should open slightly more slowly -- IF another committee finds those barn doors have been operating in a disadvantaged community for 30 (even numbered) years and has all requisite paperwork properly filed and notarized and submitted to a committee which looks into the merits of submitting those findings to another committee for possible access to approval-- when and only when the findings of another committee come to light regarding hypothetical future horses (which will never exist because the climate will no longer support complex life) that another exploratory committee MAY find would escape less dramatically that if another committee finds that it is even POSSIBLE that barn doors can even open more slowly EVER and is all brought to another committee to find whether all these findings merit any discussion and brought to another exploratory committee into the potential ramifications for shareholder's investments impacted by any alteration to the operation of barn doors for approval by another committee's for another committee's discussion and resultant findings to be sent to another committee for discussing POSSIBLE approval for the first exploratory committee to share their findings with us, before we can even BEGIN talking about discussing the possibility that perhaps newer barn doors should open slightly more slowly so that hypothetical future horses (which will never exist because the climate will no longer support complex life) escape less dramatically.
