that are becoming ever more combustable due to drought brought on by Climate Change.
Given this ever increasing danger, no amount of "Controlled Burning" or "Raking of the Forest Floor" is going to protect against Wildfires due to persistent causes like Arson which accounts for 20-25% of such fires in Idaho (see link).
This situation isn't going away anytime soon...our task is to mitigate the damage down the road by doing the right thing NOW...i.e. shift away from the burning of FFs and embrace alternative energy sources for heat and power, such as Nuclear and Renewables.
