Mr. Van Mannon, Since you asked for feedback, is a question ok?  Why the immediate jump from the problem of large catastrophic fires in the west to climate change?  What about the near absence of good land and habitat management of our public lands?
While climate change is a very serious issue for humanity, it's discussion seems to have subsumed nearly all dialog of other environmental issues.
 We could implement and adequately fund appropriate land management in the west for a relative pittance and to immediate effect, but yet there is so little discussion. I'm not saying this is a binary choice, but the public is not well informed on land management and could use your help in understanding the issue.
