The only real tool for managing wildfires is controlled burns. The problem is, California isn't burning often enough [1]. The question is, if these areas were managed properly, with controlled burns, what would the greenhouse gas emissions be? I imagine proper management wasn't included in the emissions goals.

I imagine they'll be extinct, within my lifetime. 1. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-10-07/newsom-signs-fire-law-paving-way-for-more-prescribed-burns https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-10-07/newsom-s... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophyte https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophyte edit: perhaps you had this in mind with "managing wildfires".
