The author enumerates several damages caused by the huge forest fire in Yellowstone to indicate that the policy of 'let it burn' is harmful. The lecturer, however, refutes the proposed claim and offers some counterclaims to illustrate the benefits of the event.

First, according to the reading, disappearance of numerous plants and trees can be regarded as one of the most significant damages. On the contrary, the professor rejects the arguments and mentions the point that it helped a vast numbers of new plants grow there. In other words, the diversity of plans augmented noticeably since many plants which were not able to thrive before the happening start growing. As a matter of fact, they had the opportunity to flourish. For instance, some seeds of specific plants could grow under the special circumstance, high level of heat.

Second, the extinction of a great amount of animals, especially smaller species, is the other consequence of the terrible forest fire. During the fire, many big animals like deer were escaping, but smaller ones could not flee. Conversely, the speaker refutes the statements. He states that that event was even advantageous. Not only did it recovered those animals, but it also contributed to forming new species. For example, animals like hares and rabbit appeared and the corresponding predators were seen. As a result, a food chain formed.

Finally, based on the author's claim, the fire had a great impact on the local business and tourism, on the grounds that the forest could not attract the visitors' attention anymore. In the contrast, the professor concedes the general perspective toward the effect of fire. But he argues that it is correct as long as it happens every year. In addition, it was a specific occurrence since some happenings coincided with each other such as stiff wind, low rainfall, and massive dryness. Therefore, it cannot be consider a devastating event.
