Study finds Tasmanian native forest logging increases potential for more severe bushfires

"Logging worsens bushfires because regrowth eucalyptus trees are highly flammable in comparison to mature trees, which act as "green fire breaks...A fire expert says mature forests can "act as a buffer" to slow bushfires, whereas regrowth eucalypts are more flammable."

"The study has found around a fifth of Tasmanian tall wet forest is regrowth under 40 years old, largely a result of intensive logging and recent fires."

"Professor Bowman said this raised concerns around community safety and the sustainability of the state's timber industry."

#Saanich municipal government, under #bootlicker, #colonialism heavy guy, Mayor Dean Murdock, gave millions to increase #SaanichPolice budgets - that was mostly spent on buying #militarized SUVs & didn't help to increase but decreased #CommunitySafety. While he is trying to tell us that #PropertyTax increases will be raised to near 10% - fucking #corruption BS. He is #SaanichPoliceBoard chair. No #mayors should be on ANY #PoliceBoard chairs because it is a HUGE #ConflictOfPublicInterest

#SaanichCouncil is also full of #eugenics #antimaskers. Don't believe my words alone. Watch their recent municipal council meetings. Full of eugenics enablers & #antimaskers. Shoddy council, full of lying, plague spreading #hypocrites.

I don't mince any words to comfort the already comfy colonial enablers.
