LA Times: There are now 66 million dead trees in California`s forests due to several years of drought and native bark beetles, creating a "catastrophic" wildfire threat-or so claims U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. While Vilsack`s assertion may resonate with many in the general public because it makes intuitive sense, it simply isn`t true.
