Liberals are blaming California's wildfires on "climate change."
Now, they believe it will go up in flames unless we do something immediately to stop "climate change." But climate change hasn't turned California into a tinderbox, the environmentalists have.
California power company PG&E is pulling the plug on its customers. PG&E has been deliberately cutting power to its customers in an effort to avoid wildfires. It isn't working. Massive wildfires erupted in areas where PG&E provides service.
PG&E's equipment couldn't start these huge wildfires without a bunch of dead brush fueling the flames.
As Chuck Devore writes in Forbes, "the outrageous cost to remove a few dead trees from private land is a consequence of California's Byzantine environmental regulatory patchwork."
It's not climate change that's responsible for these massive fires, "it's decades of environmental mismanagement that has created a tinderbox of unharvested timber, dead trees, and thick underbrush."
Devore writes, "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."
Global Warming 101 Dr Roy Spencer Ph.D. Carbon Dioxide Growth Rate
While you have probably seen graphs of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration slowly increasing over time, the graph above shows the yearly growth RATE, as well as the estimated yearly rate of emissions by humanity. It shows a couple of interesting things.
First, the growth rate of atmospheric CO2 is, on average, only about 50% of what mankind emits. This means that Mother Nature takes out about 50% of the ‘excess’ CO2 that we pump into the atmosphere every year.
And it seem like it doesn’t matter how much MORE we put in each year…nature still takes out an average of 50% of that amount.
So if environmentalists really believed climate change was causing the fires, they would be calling for more timber harvesting to stop it.
How many people have to die before environmentalists wake up?
Gov. Gavin Newsom has attributed California's wildfires to the effects of "climate change." But in 2018, President Trump correctly identified the problem and threatened to cut off federal funds if California didn't change its self-harming policies.
Trump tweeted, "There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!"
Editor Note:
Environmentalists don't deal in facts but they do believe their own waco propaganda about man made global warming or climate change causing california's wildfire disaster.
What contributed to the severity of recent CA fires is the state’s decades long mismanagement of the woodlands. No burn-offs, overgrown fire breaks, no debrushing.
One problem increasing the size of the acreage burned is that california stopped logging the public forests. Stopped removing dead trees. Stopped putting in logging roads that acted as barriers and allowed better access into the forest and stopped fires.
Fire has benefits in that it clears the brush on the forest floor which removes some of the fuel needed to let a fire grow.
Environmental waco's are responsible for no logging the public forests.
Environmental waco's are responsible for dead trees not being removed.
Environmental waco's are responsible for less logging roads that acted as barriers for fires and also allowed better access into the forests.
Environmental waco's are responsible for less burning of acreage to help curtail wild fires.
Environmental waco's are responsible for the deaths and destruction in california!
