Terrible Forest Fires May Be Coming
RECEIVED Fri., Jan. 20, 2006
Mr. Black,
I've just returned from a trip to East Texas and have a bit of news that I think shouldn't be ignored.
The somewhat cool, nice, global warming weather has created a nice atmosphere for clearing timber that has been damaged by Katrina/Rita. I just spent two weeks cleaning land near Woodville and hardly broke a sweat. My suggestion to the governor, the president, and whoever cares is that something be done now to prepare for the worst forest fires in U.S. history. Pronto.
I'm not one to bother with prophecy and the degenerate ignorance that comes with it, but my science-minded eye tells me that the Gulf Coast could go up like a Roman candle any day now. The past practice of the timber industry, coupled with the weather, has created a matchbox that I'm not sure anyone is prepared to deal with. I'm calling Gov. Perry on this one. Let's put it to work.
