Comment
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm not qualified to perform a peer-to-peer review of Dr. North's
et.al. "Operational resilience in western US frequent-fire forests"

However Dr. Hanson (UC researchers omit key evidence in study on

) seems to be qualified to peer review Dr. North's work. 
My concern is that CARB may be using Dr. North's work in developing
the scoping plan. Please read Dr. Hanson's piece in the Fresno Bee
and possibly his book "Smokescreen: Debunking Wildfire Myths to
Save Our Forests and Our Climate". I haven't read the book. 

I can't say my suggestion for managing undergrowth "forest waste"
(feeding the undergrowth into a wood chipper [2018 SERIES (18 IN.)

turn the wood chips into compost using biomass generators, turn the
methane captured from the biomass generators into hydrogen and
solid carbon, then sell the compost, hydrogen and carbon) is any
better. Some compost could also be put back on the forest floor
where it would have been if everything had gone through the natural
cycle.
