more fuel for the environmentalist fires. Don’t play with matches!!
It’s weather and shitty forest husbandry, ya barking loons.
Well that gets some really bad negligent leaders off the hook now doesn’t it?
The same scammers who stopped logging and caused this mess are now trying to blame climate change for what they, themselves, caused to happen.
Climate change did not cause these fires, environmentalists caused these fires.
They used the spotted owl scam to kill most of the logging and forest management programs because they did not like what scientific forest management looked like.
First, the spotted owl is exactly, genetically, the same bird as a very common and plentiful barn owl. The same bird who migrated to live in trees, or the same bird who migrated into barns, take your pick. It was and is a made up scam, a bundle of liberal lies, and never should have been a valid issue. It was a scam, it was a lie.
So, the liars who ran the anti logging scam got their way via the spotted owl scam and stopped most logging on public land in California.
They stopped the logging which caused a massive fuel build up on the forest floor. This additional fuel is causing the fires to burn much hotter, sterilizing the soil which will inhibit regrowth, and making these fires nearly impossible to put out.
It was predicted then, more than 30 years ago, exactly what was going to happen. Several books were written predicting this exact outcome, and hundreds of papers were authored finding this same prognosis.
What is happening right now is EXACTLY WHAT WAS PREDICTED BY MANY SCIENTISTS AND PROFESSIONAL FOREST MANAGERS 30 YEARS AGO.
Right now Mother nature is clear cutting over a half million acres and there is not a damn thing that the environmentalists can do about it.
Instead of science based and proper forest management with millions of additional acres of thriving healthy forests, where millions of high paying logging jobs were continued and maintained,we have total devastation.
There is now, this summer, over a half million acres of forests burned. We now also have over a thousand homes lost and thousands of lives devistated further destroying the culture and economy of the mountain communities.
HEY ENVIRONMENTALISTS, ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELVES YET?
Bluntly, this is the morons from the cities passing laws that destroy the culture, income, homes and lives of those of us who live in the mountains. None of this was science based, it was all based in and on ignorance and flat out lies.
What did the environmentalists get out of it?
THEY DID NOT GET A DAMN THING OUT OF IT BECAUSE MOTHER NATURE JUST CORRECTED THEIR MASSIVE DECADES LONG F-UP!
MOTHER NATURE JUST STRIP LOGGED OVER A HALF MILLION ACRES AND THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING YOU COULD DO TO STOP IT.
THESE PEOPLE DID NOT PROTECT THE FORESTS FROM DESTRUCTION, THEY CAUSED THE FORESTS TO BE DESTROYED.
Yes, this was caused by environmentalists and their egotistical narcissistic know it all attitudes of superiority.
No matter what lies the passionate Tree Huggers claimed, logging is a part of scientific forest management. Properly managed logging and scientific forest management would have prevented most of the damage that is currently being done to forests, to the wildlife, and to our citizens, by these massive fires.
If there is irony to this it is that now loggers will be pursued to salvage log all of this land. The timber that is still standing, burned by standing will becomes unusable for anything about a year from now. Less than 10% of the remaining timber will be salvaged before it become worthless, useless, and abandoned as dead fuel for the next big fire.
Do you have to wonder why the red counties of rural California, the vast overwhelming land majority of the state, want to detach themselves from the cities and become their own state?
AND NO WE DO NOT WANT THE BIG CITIES AS ANY PART OF THAT NEW STATE!
so you think talking will stop fires. Then start talking dumba—
Ummm, perhaps they should build a society someplace besides a desert, then come talk.
