"To use current policy scenarios in order to justify the repeal of current policies (as the EPA is attempting to do) rests on a fundamentally flawed premise. If the world actively repeals climate policies – which the US proposes doing – it would potentially push us to a higher emissions scenario."

There are some community-based programs where people are taken through a forest to see and really understand the impact of forest management practices. One thing that people enjoy is, under controlled conditions, setting a little prescribed burn themselves. - Ann M. Bartuska, Ph.D. #CCL2025

New tracking technology lets us analyze a fire in real time and determine within 20 minutes if it's a beneficial fire and we should let it burn, or whether we need to fight it. Fix our Forests Act has funding for that technology. -- Ann M. Bartuska, Ph.D. #CCL2025

Jenn Tyler: Given the influence of the administration, how effective are our conversations with members of Congress?

Brandon Farris: I would say, it has to be bipartisan. Make sure your voice is heard.
