In addition, the areas that look like meadows today might simply be on an exceptionally slow path to reforestation, according to Kiel. “These high elevation forests that didn’t have any serotonous lodgepole pine might have historically taken 300 or 400 years to come back,” he said.

Also from the story “But these findings must be considered alongside the scale of the fires of 1988, said Cathy Whitlock, “The ‘88 fires burned a huge area,” she said. “These places [where forests have not returned] are still a pretty small percentage of the area that was burned.”

TLDR: Yes they will recover

Smells like 2008

Also, turns out I’ll be speaking, fwiw…

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse.

If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

Yes but nobody cares about educated people losing work

I’ll also point out that they are still called bodegas when you are in the upper west side NYC, and that’s bougie

Yeah but they could be considered hipster. I think it would work out 😊

Paying attention to the USDA reorganization plan? Comment window is open. www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...

Came here to say the same thing.

Ah yes, firing the data expert after bad news on jobs, just the kind of commitment to research excellence we like to see in governments that are asserting control over…academic research.

Here's what the left's Steven Miller would do:

1. Leverage the DoJ to ruthlessly investigate corruption in the federal judiciary starting with re-opening Kavanaugh's file to find out who paid off his loans and seeing active indictments against Clarence Thomas.

*in reference to Senator Bennet (CO) saying how great it is that one of the hubs is in Ft. Collins

“When we get people into the field with people they served… it’s easier to collaborate and it’s easier to multiply efforts and it’s that in-person collaboration that we’re trying to spark.”

OK cool, let us stay in where we are, co-located at a university, and close the forests we collaborate with.

In reference to Senator Bennet (CO) how great it is that one of the hubs is Ft Collins, which houses CO State U, which actively collaborates with USFS: “Well Senator, we join you in wanting to build in every force multiplier that we can”

How is this guy the deputy secretary of Agriculture. He’s the epitome of smug, mediocre white dude.

It’s mind boggling that he thinks his experience was somehow so much harder than any other person applying for academic jobs. It’s just competitive, bro!

It’s the mentality of someone who has everything handed to them their whole life.

🤣
