Didn't California just pass legislation that calls for cutting down trees in forests to make them more "spread out"? This is where they lose me. The reason why wildfires exist in the first place is because of climate change; deforestation is the opposite of fighting climate change.
Very strange California taking a cue out of Trump's climate change denying book. |

Yes and no. One of the features of climate change is that some wet areas become deserts while some currently-dry areas become wet. Planting trees in an area becoming desert (like California) will only encourage the inevitable disastrous burn.
Planting trees in an area becoming wetter would do a great deal of good. Those trees are likely to survive to scrub CO2.
