Forest Management
Big Brother desires a return to the pre-Columbian forest state by banning human actions like logging, clear cutting, thinning, or even grazing. Human activity, including climate change, is responsible for the vast majority of forest waste and lack of economic benefit from timber harvesting. Obviously, it is more efficient (and politically beneficial) to contain wildfires after the fact, and to blame the increased emission of CO2 and smoke pollution on warming, rather than shouldering the burden of exploitive long-term forest care.
