In the long run, Yosemite will survive just as Yellowstone has. Fire is the natural course of the forest. It may not look the same for a few years but it will return in time.
The biggest problem is man. For far too long we have extinguished all fires. Over time the fuel in the forest builds up and we have to suffer the consequences. In 1988, Yellowstone burned until mother nature put it out herself.

X2 (or is it X3?) Man has stopped naturally occurring fires for years. Science has shown that fires are good for a healthy forest.
