Enormous forest fires preserve Yosemite... If fire didn't roll through and kill the undergrowth, the forests would be taken over by deciduous trees and the pines would eventually disappear.

healthy fires are one thing. rapidly-increasing number and severity of fires across the western US and dry areas of the world are another thing.

better get used to it. :/

Every time there is a forest fire, (or ANYTHING else) the liberals will cry and say it's due to global warming.

Gigantes is right.

This is an enormous tragedy for wildlife, and some of the worlds oldest trees.

Global warming is real, so get a grip on reality.
