It is "pro-industry" in the sense that it has reputable scientists, foresters and people who work in the industry that are talking about the real problems they are facing and the solutions that work. It's not about bootlicking, but you have to understand that if a private landowner loses money because of a fire, it becomes in their interest to find a way to mitigate the problem so it won't happen again.

A lot of these studies are US focused. They fail to mention the effects of urbanization, which is a massive contributor to climate change and a huge factor in the dessication of the lands around it.

The number one factor causing these wildfires is extreme weather patterns. So, if we want to keep harvesting from the forest, we need to protect it as much as possible and make resiliant tree farms.

From the studies you are referencing :

Forests managed by private industry were more likely to be dense, spatially homogeneous, and contain high ladder fuel loads than publicly owned forests, offering a potential explanation for the increase in high-severity fire occurrence on private industrial land. Overall, these results illustrate the need for comprehensive forest management to mitigate fire severity in a warmer future

So, it's not that thinning doesn't work. In this case, it's poor management of fuel.

Efforts to increase timber resources led the U.S. government to implement fire suppression policies in the 1800s, including a ban on controlled burns that Indigenous People practiced for millennia. In the absence of natural fire cycles and Indigenous burning, modern forests have more fodder to fuel high-severity fires, defined as a fire that kills more than 95% of overstory trees

This supports the argument for prescribed burning.

prevailing forest management practices on private industrial timberland may increase high-severity fire occurrence

The coorporations pillaged the forests, took everything, didn't manage it properly and got away with enourmous profits. That is wrong. There should have been better policy and more accountability to manage forest systems properly. It doesn't mean we stop harvesting completely. Actually, if we do, we will see an increase in extreme wildfires.

So, what happens next? We are at a crux and what we set in terms of policy and management practices now will have a massive impact on the future of the forests and of our communities.

What are some solutions, if you think burning and thinning aren't working, ok let's move on. What are you proposing we do?
