See how wrong environmentalists are? They really do little to help us.?

Look what happened at Lake Tahoe. A forest fire. Campfire was part of it.

However, since the environmentalists thought it was wrong to cut down DEAD trees, they proposed a law on it for everyone in California. They did this because they thought it would hurt insects and birds. Insects and birds are much more important than city of homes with humans isn't it? Environmentalists put wildlife before humans. The person owner who cut the dead trees before the law was passed still has his home.

Here in New Mexico, I live in a coniferous forest. We cut down the dead trees to reduce the fire danger. If you cut down the dead trees, your fire danger goes down so much.

maybe this world will realize that these environmentalists are not so great.

A campfire, I understand, can surely start a forest fire. All of the camp grounds here in New Mexico cut down the dead trees so campfires do not start a forest fire.

Answer:
First off, you need to get your facts straight.

"We have never had any restrictions on homeowners who want to clear brush or dead wood from their properties to my knowledge," said Regan. "Private property owners can remove dead trees no matter how large without a permit or without even making a phone call. We actually encourage defensible space around homes."

A live tree under six inches in diameter can be removed without a permit, Regan said.

"As far as who determines whether a tree should be cut for a view enhancement or for fire safety, we leave that determination to professional foresters who work for the fire districts," Regan said. "We have two foresters on staff who also go out and mark trees for tree permits. We issued nearly 700 tree permits last year alone and marked thousands of trees for removal for fire saftey and forest health."

Forest fires happen. If you're going to live in the middle of a forest, you're running the risk of losing your home in a forest fire. It's that simple, and blaming environmentalists for no reason isn't doing anyone any good.
Animals are better then humans.

do they cut down our homes?
do they disturb our lives?

no they don't.
I guess you don't have a clue as to what killed those trees in the first place do you?

Live anywhere near Albuquerque? If you do, I'd be more concerned about a desert full of nuclear bomb test sites than I would be about a fire.
I don't understand. There's no law against homeowners cutting down dead trees at Tahoe.

There are some people who want to cut down live trees for a better view, not because of fire prevention. That's what's prohibited, and only if the trees are larger than 6 inches.

Any creature made by God has its own right to live in the world. How you can see from your personal view and support what you say? Who are you to decide about cutting trees, or killing animals, birds, trees etc?

Man is the only animal which proliferated exponentially and killed all other living things and occupied the whole world and polluted it for his own survival and materialistic pleasures. No other creatures has done so much devastation than man. Man is so bad, that he waged wars and killed his own fellow men without any reason. He has discrimination on colour, physical measurements, languages etc.

And YOU behave exactly like an ordinary man.
i do belive cretures have a rite to live never the less i belive humans have more rite if it came down to it a bird or a human sorry bird dies every time in my mind and evironmentalists how do u officaly become 1 i dont see college course 80% of um dont know nothing and just there views of the world its diffrent wen u get a 50 yr old college profesor sayin there dangers and stuff but most the time its some hippie who yes has points but does not have basic facts needed to carry point across
Yes, insects and birds are very important. Who do you think pollinates ALL the fruits and vegetables we eat. If all birds and insects suddenly disappeared from the earth...the human race would die shortly afterwards. With the bees dying it was estimated that we would run out of food in 4 years. If a couple million humans disappeared off the face of the earth...life would go on uninterupted!! Maybe you need to go back and take a Biology 101 class so that you would understand what a basic ecosystem is as you are obviously uneducated and have no scientific background whatsoever.
I think perhaps you've made up your mind without being fully informed. It's far more complicated than what you present here, and has to do more with people wanting their communities snuggled up to wild areas without fully appeciating the consequences. We can't react by implementing faulty policy because we fail to develop proper building codes and fuel management zones.

The media feeds the frenzy. Don't jump on the bandwagon. Dig deeper, and stop the name calling. I've attended a symposium in San Diego where they have implemented a number of changes following the horrid fire there several years ago. Had those policies been in place earlier, many of the homes would have been saved.
