I heard on a radio show a few weeks ago that California was looking at adopting the "Native American" way of keeping massive forest fires from occurring.

Said "by saying it this way, we won't have to credit Trump...but it's the same thing he proposed"

Today, many scholars disagree that the original inhabitants of the Americas had little impact on the environment. Calling this the myth of the “ecologically invisible” American Indian, critics instead believe that Native Americans altered the land to better suit their needs. Based on archaeological evidence (mainly charcoal deposits and pollen records), in addition to eyewitness accounts by European explorers, many experts now contend that prehistoric people deliberately set fires to accomplish a variety of tasks.

CA used to have no problem with forest management. Then some environmental policy was enacted to protect the kangaroo mouse or something. This mouse lives in the felled forest biome. The policy forbade clearing the dead underbrush and wood. Then a fire aggressively roars through and destroys the habitat and the mouse too.

Makes sense?

Save the mouse, but kill the people who live in houses... makes perfect sense.

And even worse, kill the mouse anyways - in fact all the mice. Typical result of leftard policy.

New England currently has more forest than it did when the Pilgrims arrived. The natives used slash and burn agriculture in many areas.
