Why We Need Environmental Regulations • The Revelator
Many people are unaware of what life was like before major environmental laws. That makes it easier for corporate interests to push for harmful deregulation.

Fire suppression, as policy, manages for the most severe fire possible; the only large fires that burn are those too severe to stop.
Reverting to that policy is dangerous and dumb. It will come at the cost of tax dollars, firefighter lives, and further damage to national forests.

The new USFS 'chief' (sic) wants to suppress every wildfire -- “Attempting to suppress all wildfires necessarily means that fires will burn with more severe and less diverse ecological impacts, with burned area increasing at faster rates than expected from fuel accumulation or climate change." 🌏
Tom Schultz, the head of the U.S. Forest Service, is calling for wildfires to be extinguished “as swiftly as possible this season.”
But aggressive suppression policies are widely believed to be one of the key culprits in the current wildfire crisis.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.
