So California is on fire again...

[Stann]

Yes. Never any wildfires prior to the industrial revolution. The ones today are all because of my Suburban.

No , the region has always been subject to wildfires for at least the past 10,000 years. Modern man has simply accelerated and strengthened the natural processes.

All those properties are privately owned , the responsibility of the property owners to take care of. If I lived there , my yard would be all gravel with a few cactus here and there. The coastal sage scrub area was never meant to support trees. Better to downsize.

No. The point is to reduce the fuels BEFORE it gets to properties and neighborhoods. You do that with controlled burns and bulldozing firebreaks. That is PART of what a wildfire mitigation plan would entail.

We need a hell of a lot of mitigation planet-wide.

I took a California ecology class back in college. Wildfires are a natural part of the California ecology. Many plants and trees don’t reproduce without being burnt. There have always been wildfires in California, the situation has been made worse by massive numbers of people moving into fire zones.

Democrats like the stupid trees because they're pretty and smell nice! Doesn't take much to get one burning. They are full of oil.

Eucalyptus Fire Hazards: Are Eucalyptus Trees Flammable

Are eucalyptus trees flammable? In a nutshell, yes. These beautiful stately trees are filled with aromatic oil, which makes them highly combustible. Learn more about the fire hazards of eucalyptus trees in this article.

Naw man, it's the Jewish Space Lasers!

 

[elektra]

Just like they do in Australia. Lots of oil to burn. Climate change is making everything hotter multiplying the threat. Same with the strong winds ,more energy in the atmosphere accelerates the normal winds. All of these things are occuring around the world and resulting in increased natural ( unnatural ) disasters.

Bullshit

You are changing the subject.

 

[mudwhistle]

Eucalyptus is definitely a contributor.

The primary contributor to those fires is the Shitheels they put in charge because of their sexual-orientations and political ideology.

Democrats are nothing but a bunch of liars and saboteurs.

I am not at all trying to imply if there was no eucalyptus, there would be no fire.

I have repeatedly posted that Cali government refused to perform basic wildfire fuel prevention. It is squarely on them.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

It's mainly the years of accumulated dead plant material covering the hills of SoCal fueling the fire and the leadership doing nothing to mitigate the fire they KNOW is going to happen.

It's partially due to the fact that California is currently in the second driest year/season of the last 100 years.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

California should have raked their forests. That would have staved off global warming/Santa Ana winds.

California definitely should have cleaned up the dead brush. And not sent the water out to sea. However, it might just be another pet of California democrats. Arson. From the look of the arrestee, this might be wildfire jihad.

Now is he an invading illegal?

So why didn't they prepare for it last year?

I don't think they had the water reserves to do much about it. Everything I've read and have seen on the news blames the Santa Ana winds which reached 100 mph at times during the beginning of the week. I have a family member who's been keeping a close watch on the news and she stated that the Fire chief that they interviewed said with winds that strong, literally blowing fire EVERYWHERE and causing it spread in a manner that they've never seen before with their only solution being to wait until the winds died down. Of course by then as they mentioned in the new today, the fire had consumed everything in the wind path and at least 45 acres of Los Angeles commercial & residential areas have burned down to the foundations.

Of course they're going to blame it on the wind or "climate change, not their idiotic mismanagement of water, forestry, and "endangered species."
