Biden calls Trump a "climate arsonist'. Fires are a threat to suburbs, he accurately says

Very good one by Joe. Trump
1) Has ended protections to the environment, and
2) says global warming is a Chinese hoax.

Meanwhile climate change makes wildfires worse.
1) Trump hasn't ended protections to the enviroment.

2) He's pretty much right. Global warming is a hoax, and the Chinese started it.
Next time don't spread fake news:

What's that, 100 out of 100,000?

You said he ended protections to the environment.

Typical Democrat ploy. Provide a site nobody can read unless they subscribe. Pyetro probably thinks he's the first to come up with it.
 
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...

Two months ago, the state legislature enacted a measure that would expedite the removal of dead trees and use “prescribed burns” to thin forests. In other words: the very same reforms that Trump is now being mocked for proposing. The September law followed a Gov. Jerry Brown executive order earlier this year that also called for “controlled fires” to improve forest health.


Bro,

Forrest Fire Management happens all the time but 57% of US forestry in on Federal land. 2/3 of the Forrest Fires are on Federal lands... Trump gets $2.5billion a year for Forrest Fire Management...

So the problem is not that Trump is calling for other to do it and blame the fires for them not being done... He is the one in charge of it...

This is all part of Forestry Management...


If you read up on it, most of the federal money allocated to national forests are used for the fires. This didn't happen overnight, and estimates to clean up all that dead wood and brush will take over a decade even if we did have the money.

Nancy is perfectly capable of sponsoring a bill for more money to clean up the forests.

There is $2.5 billion there... You make it sound like Democrats caused the problem but it was Ryan who cut the funding years ago...

Funding only got back to what it should have been in 2020.... It was GOP who was holding it up...

"
he delay on full funding was triggered by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who wanted the funding to stay within the 2018-2019 discretionary spending caps Congress set in February, according to a senior House Republican aide, because spending cap levels were already high. He was fine with allocating funds that stayed within those caps, but all parties eventually agreed to start the full level of funding in fiscal year 2020, according to the aide.

The fix was widely praised by members of both political parties from the West. Many have been trying to get this sort of funding on wildfires for years but repeatedly failed to get congressional action.

Ryan has publicly spoken against creating new funding for fighting wildfires in the past, warning members not to approve a bill that would have had similar fixes to wildfire funding when he was Budget Committee Chairman in 2014.

He cited the prospect of increasing federal spending too rapidly, and advocated for instead fully funding the way wildfire fighting was already handled in the federal budget, called the FLAME account.

That account provided the U.S. Forest Service with a fund calculated by taking the 10-year average cost of fighting wildfires. That was the method that resulted in the underfunding and necessary fire borrowing from wildfire prevention funding.

Research shows for every $1 spent on wildfire prevention, taxpayers save $6 to $8, Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., chairman of the a House emergency management subcommittee, said at a hearing on wildfire impacts earlier in March."

This is not all Republicans bad or all Democrats good... But Trump is the one who got the money and he then tried to blame the states.

Lets look at the states, here is a map of forrest ownership in California
1600311817762.png


"The federal government through the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Park Service owns about 19 million acres of the total 33 million acres of forestlands in the state of California representing about 57% of the forest areas. Private nonindustrial entities own about one‑quarter (8 million acres) acres of forestland. These include families, individuals, conservation and natural resource organizations, and Native American tribes. Industrial owners—primarily timber companies—own 14 percent (4.5 million acres) of forestland. State and local governments own about a 3 percent (1 million acres) combined. In total these non-federal entities represent about 43% of the states forest areas."

Governor Newsom had to invoke the declaration of a State of Emergency in late March 2019 so he could get access to as much land as he can for forrest management.

Again 2/3 of the fires are on Federal land... The state and local have tried but there are vast tracks of forestry which they can't access...

California’s government solely responsible for states forest management and wildfire debacle - by the way this is a climate denial website...
