This logic only works under the assumption that all humans, especially settlers, are completely retarded.
People knew these things could happen, smart men saw it happen in front of their eyes and found ways to curb, control or fully prevent it from happening again. While we can never fully predict nature, we can do a lot to keep the odds in our favor.
Only a politician could throw that away from money, popularity, or ideology.
We’ve drained swamps. Built levees and dams. Constructed dikes (see Netherlands). Clear cut forests for farmland. Built reservoirs and aqueducts.
Humans have, for many thousands of years, learned to control their environment and do it well.
Ceasing all forest management is akin to not watering your plants and being shocked when they wither and die.
This is a mix of extreme incompetence and deliberate evil.
