Dems, Activists Oppose Bill Aimed At Saving Iconic California Trees From Wildfires

sequoia treesSome Democrats and environmentalist groups oppose a bill aimed at saving California’s iconic sequoia trees from wildfires, according to The Washington Post’s The Climate 202.

The Save Our Sequoias Act, pushed by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California, would expedite environmental reviews to carry out “Protection Projects” like controlled burns, forest thinning, and other activities to protect the sequoias from wildfires. [emphasis, links added]

While the bill has bipartisan support, some Democrats and environmental activists accuse its backers of trying to undermine “bedrock environmental laws” like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), according to The Climate 202.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
