Snicker, snicker....Madeleine said "climate change". Hehe!
“Because of climate change,” Stopped reading there. Take it for what it is, do not inject politically correct nonsense to make a point.
Here in NM the Dog’s Head Fire in late June was started by brush clearing machinery... 18,000 acres later they’d exceeded their wildest goals.
I was evacuated for 4 days.
Lots of crews driving around here from Orange County, maybe 4 hours away.
Having lived there for decades, I understand that CA has unique problems with wildfires.
However, there are partial solutions:
1. Log regularly
2. Graze down the brush with livestock, especially goats
3. Plant fire resistant species
4. Have lots of firebreaks and forest access roads
5. MAKE THE SILLY GREENIES FIGHT THE FIRES THAT THEIR ACTIONS PROMOTE!
Ridiculous. Regulations on controlled little burns have gone nutzo --owl lovers etc. willl scream HOLOCAUST and LUMBER INDUSTRY for burning a single dead bush.
The fuel piles up year after year after year and then when it finally explodes it's a major problem.
Even illiterate Indians (who never viewed mankind as a VIRUS giving Mother Earth a fever) back in the day knew that.
Not even close. The Bastrop (TX) Complex Wildfire that began Sept. 4, 2011 cost $325 million in insured damages and $20 million in uninsured losses. It raged over 34,068 acres, destroying 1,673 homes, and was not totally extinguished until Oct. 29. Debris removal cost $25 million. It was the most destructive fire in Texas history.
We need Dr. Bill Wattenburg in here for this.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in general that powers not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
That said, if you understood common core math, you would at least be able to argue in a court of law why any answer to a math problem is right. /sarc
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by common core math.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Because of climate change, fire seasons are, on average, about 78 days longer across the country than they were in the ’70s.
Because of clearing and logging bans and lack of firelines, fire seasons are, on average, about 78 days longer across the country than they were in the ’70s. - Fixed
