It’s verboten because it undercuts the (hasty and unrigorous) attribution to climate change or fossil fuels or whatever. I’m not ignoring those causes but I think they are incorrectly attributed aa an sole cause and there is so much that could be done to prevent these fires regardless. It seems like we are reluctant to blame governments and politicians that are not performing their most basic duties. Forest service people have tried educating the public about how new forests have a different set of issues - high density, uncleared dead wood, pests spreading easily, and all that. But no one amplifies those points because it is politically inconvenient. It’s also incredible how little money is spent on access roads, fire breaks, properly located reservoirs, firefighting aircraft, power line management, and so forth given how large state and federal budgets are.
