David, what would you say to people who say that large, old Ponderosa pine trees and forests are being put at risk by more fire-prone Grand fir, which supposedly have increased in abundance compared to historical norms?

52:54
“90% of new energy is in the oceans” What does that mean?

53:05
Hi all - please drop your questions into the chat and we’ll read them off to David!

54:20
Define pro-forestation, please.

55:16
The “let burn” attitude of non- fire-suppression can become way more dangerous in drought conditions of climate change. Ca we as a country be more not less aggressive in putting out fires before they take thousands of acres of forest??

55:18
Another argument the USFS used to justify the Trump Screens was to change species composition. Is that a legitimate need? If so, do we have to cut the big trees to accomplish it?

56:26
Would it help old stands of trees, to focus forest thinning in a buffer around the old stands, reduce wildfire risk?

58:34
What are your thoughts about areas that should not be logged or thinned— such as very moist forests and areas that have been only minimally or never logged?

01:02:51
Different for west side forests though, right ?

01:06:33
How do you measure carbon in trees?

01:07:00
This is great stuff! I want to + Rob’s question, getting at some of the greenwashing coming out of the Forest Service used as justification to log old east-side trees.

01:08:48
When trees are cut, you also dissipate the underground carbon stored in root systems.

01:11:49
Provide reference in chat of your paper you mentioned.
