If you don't know already, I live in the Southwest and we had a bunch of big fires this summer, want proof? Just look at this
map
. Well now it seems as if the "BIG" media folks are starting to take notice of the fires. Science is starting to show that wildfires have an effect on global warming. (Remember, global warming is a good thing) The problem is they are trying to put all of the blame somewhere other than where it belongs; with the environmental groups. Groups like the Sierra Club, who have hogtied the Forest Service for years and forced a policy of "hands off" management of the forests through years of
litigation
. We all know the Forest Service can do a better job, but if they could spend their time managing the forests rather than managing the lawyers they need to defend themselves....

Sorry, the link for "where it belongs" is to a pay site from the Albuquerque Journal

Here's a good one about an environmental law you've probably never even heard of. It even predates the ESA.

I don't want to sound cliched but Al Qaeda is not the only terrorist group we need to worry about. Have you heard of ELF? They split from Earth First! because Earth First wasn't radical enough. They used to just threaten buildings but that has changed, as shown by the evidence in this article.

Missing the forest for the trees?

We have more trees now than has ever been recorded in the United States but environmental whack jobs are still killing themselves trying to save the righteous and venerable old growth trees, while Third World countries, starving for cash, are busily chopping their forests down.

Environmental groups find themselves in a bind, you know how hard it is for them to admit that the US may actually be on the right path, they now find themselves in a position where they may have to criticize one their favorites, a downtrodden (by the US probably) Third World country.

Read this...
"Even as activists succeed in getting the U.S. government to declare more and more forestland off limits to tree harvesting, America is destroying more forestland than ever before." What? We are destroying more forests? Not really, although it is our fault. (isn't it always?)
Here's the rest of the article.
