Environmentalists aid forest fires

Does anyone else think that the conflagration of fires in the West was aided by extreme environmentalists arguing over the years against controlled burns of ground cover?

All we need do is look at the Rough Fire, burning for over a month, growing every day, and filling our lungs with smoke. Worried about the pollution caused by controlled burns, haven’t these environmentalists helped to give us a million times more smoke and particulate matter from all these fires?

My heart goes out to the brave firefighters suffering far more than any of us lowlanders. May God protect them from harm and all of us from the extreme environmentalists.
