The federal government took a major step forward Friday toward opening more than 2,800 acres of Ohio’s only national forest to oil and gas development.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management announced a lease sale scheduled for Sept. 15 of 41 parcels of land in the Wayne National Forest totaling 2,840 acres.
Although some bureaucratic hurdles remain, a lease sale brings fracking the forest for the first time

Upfront costs–in research, in personnel, and in deployment–are essential for fire prevention. Yet today, as in the early twentieth century, the federal government, despite possessing knowledge indicating the opposite, would rather spend money in disaster relief than in disaster prevention.

Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves $3.75 in wildfire damages, study finds
Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States. The study estimated that the treatments, such as forest thinning and prescribed burns, prevented $2.8 billion in losses, reduced wildfire spread and fire severity.

England during the reign of Elizabeth I (~AD1600) was a dangerous time and place to write plays, such as Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”.
Better watch those metaphors. Public plays were studied closely for signs of treason.

Deforestation lessens Amazon rainfall—and climate change hastens that process, study finds
Climate change makes the southern Amazon's rain increasingly sensitive to deforestation, a new study finds. Clearing large areas of forest can trigger severe and lasting reductions in rainfall regardless of climate, but as the Amazon warms and dries, that "tipping point" arrives at ever lower levels of deforestation.
