> how decades of fire suppression

Your video disproves your own argument.

I'm a backpacker who's been complaining since the 1960s that forest management and suppressing fires was wrong.

However, as the video points out I think, at this point letting fires burn out of control KILLS EVERYTHING and INVASIVE SPECIES choke out new trees.

You can see that in a forest where I live. It burned about 40 years ago. All the trees were killed, some are standing covered with mistletoe. The brush is so thick that no saplings survived. All the seeds were killed by the heat of the fires anyway. If it ever comes back I'm guessing it'll be 200 years.

Controlled burns would have been the solution and they do work, however it's getting harder for forestry services to do controlled burns with climate change. A LOT harder, and there are too many millions of acres they need to do. About a century's worth of work even without climate change.

Mismanaged forests + climate change is the one/two whammy.
