You should see the link below
You might want to look at the two links below, #1 shows the drought
status for the u.s as of September 2007, than you might want to
correlate that to the map #2 of the "observed experimental fire
potential" which shows great overlapping areas, as the fire potential
is partly based on the fuel amounts which is effected by rain totals,
then correlate that to the study #3 showing that global climate change
is likely to increase the likelihood of drought conditions in the
west, were the fires are occurring currently. So it goes something
like this one of the effects of global climate change is increasing
the likelihood of drought in areas such as the southwest which then
increases the likelihood of greater amounts of fuels for the fire in
the region, which then increases the likelihood that when seasonal
conditions are right a major fire can result, as seen in southern
California right now...
So, are you asserting that forest service fire 'management' policies
have no impact?- Hide quoted text -

Nope, didnt say that at all.
Ok, then point out to me where you include forest service fire
management in reaching your conclusion "as seen in southern California
right now".- Hide quoted text -

ok lets see, i give a cliamtological correlation, and you want to turn
it into a policy discussion, no problem if i wanted to include policy
into a climate posting i would have, but the information i provided is
what is given to regional planners in reaching policy conclusions.
Now if you would like to discuss forest management im open to that as
well, but if you are asking me a question about policy just do it, and
dont imply because i didnt mention it, that i dont think policy needs
to change. The fact is this in not an easy issue, so before you start
playing the game of "point out to me where you", maybe you should read
the link below from a grand jury report of the 2003 firestorm in
southern california, and you will see that this issue is more
complicated than playing a blame game....
