Trump blames California
More than 1.1 million acres have burned on federal lands in California this year, compared to 769,032 acres on non-federally managed lands, according to figures collected by the National Interagency Fire Center.
In California, Washington and Oregon combined, about 1.9 million acres have burned on federally-managed land compared to just over 1 million acres on non-federal land, according to NIFC.
The president made similar remarks in August shortly after lightning strikes ignited hundreds of wildfires around the state. He also dismissed climate change as a factor.
So Trump is responsible for 2/3s of the land that is burning...
Is he really, or is it that states control management of removing debris from federal forests in their state?
Another thing, do you think all this uncared for brush and dead wood started when Trump took office? It's been going on for years.....for decades. It's been going on during the Trump administration, the Obama administration, the Bush administration, and as far back as the Clinton administration. Removing this debris has been fought by every environmental group imaginable.
Sorry Ray but you have to back up your statements with evidence....
Federal Land is Federal responsibility.... Anyone goes removing things from Federal land without permission could be prosecuted... I can't find where it is states responsibility when there is a Budget at Federal level for Forrest Fire Management ($2.5 Billion). So how does Feds get the money but the states have to take responsibility?
Blaming past Presidents when Trump has been in charge for 3 and half years at this stage is as usual, not taking responsibility. Please take some responsibility...
Trump is the one who is denying Climate Change while record temperatures are creating these conditions... These are getting more frequent and what is Trump doing about it...
Yes, the California wildfires are Trump's fault, they didn't happen 3 1/2 years ago. It has only been since then.
But just to be clear, you're advocating that Trump come in and override California and it's his fault he hasn't done that.
Democrats: Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States, Trump needs to override the States, OMG, Trump overrrode the States ...
Round and round the merry go round we go ...
Oh, but it's only federal land, right? Or in your native language, baa, baa, baa
The 2/3 forrest fires at the moment are on Federal managed land... Is that an inconvenient truth?
Yes, for you. That means the problem isn't just a Federal problem, yet in your typical style you only blame Trump
