Climate change is all-purpose excuse for Big Green and federal misfeasance and malfeasance
Special: Do This Before Bed And You'll Never Need Gym (Once Daily) First the Obama EPA came for coal mines, coal-fired power plants, miners, workers, investors, and all who depend on reliable, affordable electricity. Then the EPA, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and other agencies came after oil and gas drilling and fracking, and the workers, industries and families that need petroleum. They’re also targeting farming, ranching, airlines and manufacturing.
It’s all to stop “dangerous manmade climate change,” rising seas, warmer and colder weather, wetter and drier seasons, and other “unprecedented” calamities. Now the Feds want us to believe worsening forest fires threaten communities, wildlife and wildlife habitats because we burn fossil-fuels.
Rapid Oxidization.
I’d venture it’s due to the over-adjectivization of everything. Thunderstorms are now “Severe Weather”. Forest fires are now “WILD” fires.
Overuse of hyperbole is about billion times worse than it’s ever been before.
There seems to be no sensible way to fight government sanctioned insanity. So the insanity becomes institutionalized. You can’t use reason with crazy people. And the crazy people own the justice system. So you can’t fight them in the courts. They run the schools. So you can’t hope the schools won’t indoctrinate your children. They’ve compromised science, so science is just thier religious arm. They’ve infiltrated the churches. And so on.
Hillary, Queen of the Crazies vs. Trump, who is actually speaking truth to power.
Maybe Trump says crazy things now and then because the Crazies take notice, like dogs hearing a whistle. And maybe some will pay attention long enough to hear some other things he says. It’s how he co-opts news cycles. Go Trump!
I’ve asked you a million times not to exaggerate!!!
(btw - the exclamation point rule - there always has to be an odd number of them)
During fire season, my late Dad would say: “The woods are drier than a popcorn fart, so let’s be careful.”
“Wild fire” is a less specific term. For example where I live and there is a great deal of interface between forest and prairie, a fire could start in one and move to the other. When people hear the term “forest fire” they think the threat is only to the forest and not to the surrounding areas. A couple of years ago, 60 of my neighbors lost their homes and countless heads of livestock in a fire that moved between the two environments - it wasn’t a forest fire per se, nor a range fire - it was a wild fire.
And see my handle - severe weather isn’t just a thunderstorm - it’s weather where there can be any sort of economic loss or a threat to human health and well being.
The majority of forest fires in the west are due to greenie forest conservation laws which forbid removal of storm downed trees, controlled burns to remove heavy brush, and deliberately set fires to drive the rural locals out.
Muslims trying to burn down the Great Satan??? Talk about a low risk, high impact operation!
You’ve got a good point there.
It’s just that it seems there’s an overuse of the terms. Used to be most people realized fires and storms had inherent danger potential without the hyperbole.
Trees are the main cause of forest fires and thus need eradication
I have another theory that moving trees make the wind blow...
I believe the Jihadist wrote about starting wildfires in Inspire magazine and even had directions.
Fire is/was a pretty natural phenomenon out West. Plenty of them start by lightning although more seem to be started by people. By suppressing the small fires you build up the fuel (dry conifer forests or dry sage/prairie) in a low humidity environment and eventually you have much bigger ones because the fuel load is so big. I am continually cautious about fire and try to keep a good defensive space around my home because I know everything around me would burn violently. Until you have been close to one and watched the trees exploding with the heat, noise, and fire generated wind you don’t have a true appreciation for it.
It is part of the natural cycle, but the activities of man have created an unnatural cycle. This was the biggest one and occurred well before suppression efforts were perfected - the 1910 fire. Interesting read -
Thanks. Be safe out there.

Huh?
The overuse probably has more with the media driving viewership than anything else.
Warmer and colder weather, wetter and drier seasons, are not “unprecedented” calamities.
It's just WEATHER. Weather happens.
Climate never is and never has been stable.
For that matter, the earth is in a cooler than average phase and has been for a long time. For most of its history, it's been significantly warmer, and I say, get back to it ASAP.
Life will evolve as the evolutionists claim.
And when people move into areas where those conditions happen, it's not that there's more of it, it's just that more people put themselves in harms way.
