California fires caused by global warming

[james bond]

The scientific consensus is that global warming and the dryness it promotes boosts the severity of wildfires. As for the end of the world....who knows.

This is dangerous liberal BS. We already have too many trees in these liberal states with no plan to manage them. I'm trying to cut four to five trees down on my property that the previous libturd owner grew and it will cost me at least two to three grand to cut and remove them. My newer neighbor has grown as many trees after moving in, so I can just use his for privacy.

I should get rid of my walnut tree and fruit trees as I have to trim them yearly. They were planted too closely and some of the fruits are hybrids. Trees have more rights than people in California, so that has to change. For example, if a large tree is already there on your vacant lot, then you can't just cut it down to clear for building of your house. One has to build around it.

Boosted. The continual dryness of the climate due to global warming has contributed to the severity of the wildfires. And the season has just started.

Ah, it wasn't due to AGW, but weather. Besides, the fires are out west in the US. That said, isn't the end of the world due to a global fire?

The scientific consensus is that global warming and the dryness it promotes boosts the severity of wildfires. As for the end of the world....who knows.

We can't have both. The solution is to cut down the trees so that we can manage our forests in case of fire. Who said, "Only you can prevent forest fires?"

Fires are something that comes with the territory; always will be. The political spin that is put on the fires is new...and dumb.

Here's the real lowdown. We need to vote all the libturd governors out!!!

"Regarding reducing the fuel load, in an interview four months ago, Newsom said that there are “Hundreds of millions of dead trees” in the state and that it cost his father $35,000 to clear “a small little patch of dead trees” on his property.
Newsom didn’t admit it, but the outrageous cost to remove a few dead trees from private land is a consequence of California’s Byzantine environmental regulatory patchwork.

This is California’s big secret: it’s not climate change that’s burning up the forests, killing people, and destroying hundreds of homes; it’s decades of environmental mismanagement that has created a tinderbox of unharvested timber, dead trees, and thick underbrush.

This dangerous situation attracted attention from President Donald Trump who, during the height of California’s wildfires last year insisted that “There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor."

The irony is that forest management is so bad on public lands that a new report, ordered by the California legislature in 2010, shows that the portion of California's National Forests protected from timber harvesting is now a net contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fires and trees killed by insects and disease.

Every year about 3.8 billion board feet of new timber grows in the Golden State, capturing almost one metric ton of CO2 per acre in the productive timberland areas. Trees grow until they die, burn, or get harvested. If harvesting declines, tree mortality and fires increase. It’s the tyranny of math.

In the early 1990s, a series of restrictions were placed on logging in the West to protect the Spotted Owl. As it turned out, nature was more complicated than expected, with owl numbers continuing to decline—even after the California timber harvest plummeted—due to predation from other raptors.

In the meantime, the harvest fell below the growth rate in the 1990s, to about 1.5 billion board feet per year over the past decade. The tree harvest on federal lands is now one-tenth of what it was in 1988, President Reagan’s last full year in office.

The California forest report draft concludes by observing that the “Current flux [of CO2] may not be sustainable without forest management!” while citing the challenge of “Aging of forests on federal lands.”

Unlike much of the American South and East, California has a distinct wet season, with Pacific storms rolling in by November or December and wrapping up by March. In even the wettest years (2016-17 was the wettest in 122 years) much of California is bone-dry by late fall. Thus, it isn’t climate change that sets the conditions for fires—it’s California’s natural weather pattern. Comparing acres burned in wildfires to weather and tree harvest data, there appears to be little link to climate—but a big connection to the growing forest fuel load, especially on government land.

Which brings us back to policy. If federal and state environmental policies continue to make it difficult and costly to harvest timber and manage the fuel load, then the wildfires will continue and they will be bigger and deadlier. This will, in due course, cause some politicians to blame the fires on climate change.

In the meantime, the timber harvest infrastructure is less than one-third of what it was 30 years ago, meaning that even if politicians were sincere in wanting to manage the public forests, there few people remaining to manage them."

It's the political spin of the libturds running the state that is dangerous. Only a mass killing of people by these fires may get them to change their minds. This is the danger that is happening in the Portland, OR area. Too many forests, not enough management of them, and definitely not enough firefighters. Using prisoners and Muslims brought in from the ME isn't a long-term solution despite what libturd Newsom says.

Wait. It also causes flooding and hurricanes too, right? Are there 2 separate versions of the CO2 molecule?

The excessive heat does contribute to more violent hurricanes which leads to flooding. Yes.

As I said, fire is as old as Man itself. The political spin dumbasses like you try to apply to it is new.

There were some deaths in Texas due to wildfires. Amazingly, the fires didn't care that Rick Perry was a Republican.

Seriously, get some mental counseling. You're a fucking idiot.

He said clear the forests and that involves cutting the trees.

The RWI Contard Indoctrination is shown.

Q: How Exactly do you "clear the forest"? The ENTIRE Forest?

With an intelligent plan and a real willingness to end the destruction of property and life.

Why do you hate California so much?

Wrong.......the scientists who want to use the global warming hoax to push leftism have a consensus that they can use global warming to push their agenda....that's it.

Is anyone here that big of a dolt to actually believe such a utterly ridiculous claim

The real reason is the “dimwitted drug addicts” who run the California Forrests and parks.
Just have to love affirmative action
You have the biggest morons in the country who receive such important jobs ( and since they have zero education) you see California look like hades .
We can smell the smoke even in Vegas and it’s bad
Such vacuous worms in California

The West Coast is always really dry this year.....and now we have too many in this country that are into sabotage, peaceful protest, and breaking the law.
So it's no surprise that Blue States are on fire.

California's El Dorado Fire, which is burning in San Bernardino County, has been blamed on a gender-reveal party gone wrong. Fire officials said Saturday that the fire was sparked by a "smoke-generating pyrotechnic device, used during a gender-reveal party."
It's damn California why need a gender reveal if you believe the child will determine it's own gender anyway, by way of identifying with whatever it chooses.
