California Governor Gavin Newsome says cause of Wildfires is 'Climate Change' but it's Actually Massive Mismanagement of Forest Lands
nteb ^ | Geoffrey Grider

Far Left Liberal Progressive governor of California, Gavin Newsom, got in front of the cameras yesterday and made a ‘very serious’ statement about the raging wildfires currently plaguing their state. He said “The debate is over around climate change. Just come to the state of California, observe it with your own eyes,” a grinning Newsom told reporters while touring the fire-ravaged North Complex near Oroville. “It’s not an intellectual debate, it’s not even debatable.”

Absolute rubbish, to say the least. Let’s begin a real debate, shall we?

Always makes me laugh, seeing as most Liberals are either atheist or agnostic, that they are such die-hard, true believers in thier own religion of Climate Change. And woe be to the infidel who dares to say the emperor has no clothes, or in this case, the governor of California. Let’s leave aside the Liberal hysterics of the pagan, Gaia religion of climate change and take a peek into where the money is currently spent in sanctuary city California:

It’s so much easier to blame the imaginary scapegoat of ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ for the wild fires in California, instead of looking to the incredible mismanagement of the California forest and park lands. California is a sanctuary state, and as such spends over $23 billion each year on the staggering costs associated with caring for illegal immigrants and their children.

According to the California Policy Center, the Golden State’s total state/county/municipal debt tops a staggering $1.3 trillion.[1] Meanwhile, as the state teeters on the brink of economic collapse, its civic and political leaders relentlessly advance laws and policies that attract and reward illegal immigration. And, all the while, they ignore the simple fact that cooperating with the federal government in its efforts to suppress illegal immigration would decrease the massive cost imposed on taxpaying citizens and legal immigrants living in California.

When you are spending that much money to care for illegal immigrants, guess what you don’t have money for? Taking care of the forest lands that require constant care, and California no longer has the money to do that. As of 2018, the number of dead and uncleared trees in California forest lands exceeded 120,000,000, and that amounts to an incredible amount of kindling to accelerate forest fires.

California’s ubiquitous pines and oaks are vulnerable to insect infestation and disease. Those giants crash to the forest floor and, unless they are removed, provide ready fodder for the next voracious fire. The die-off is catastrophic, beyond the reach of state foresters to remedy. In many communities of the central and southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, “80 percent of trees are dead,” said Ken Pimlott, former director of Cal Fire.

MEMO TO GAVIN NEWSOM: Stop spending all your money on illegal immigrants, and start taking care of the needs of your state and the American citizens that live there. Most of all, quit your pusillanimous blaming of ‘climate change’ as the cause of the wild fires, when the reality is they are caused largely by the sheer incompetence and neglect of your administration.

I remember back some 16 years ago, California was pushing the use of goats for clearing brush.

There was an NPR piece on it back in January of this year.

https://www.npr.org/2020/01/05/792458505/california-cities-turn-to-hired-hooves-to-help-prevent-massive-wildfires

It was a good idea. I haven’t heard anything about it lately. What happened to it?

Yes it is!

Romans 8:19-23

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God;
20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now;
23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

more proof what a despicable man this guy (and the entire “climate” mob) is:

12 Sept: Climate Depot: Marc Morano: Former UN lead scientist Michael Mann: ‘Tucker Carlson is both a climate change denier and a racist f#ck’
Michael Mann, a former United Nations lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, smeared Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson as being “both a climate change denier and a racist f#ck.” Mann, a Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State, tweeted his comment on September 11, following a Carlson segment “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” on California wildfires and the politicians scapegoating “climate change.”...

Mann’s attack on Tucker for presenting accurate climate information comes just weeks before the new skeptical climate film, Climate Hustle, is set to premiere.
Climate Hustle 2 Set for Sept. 24 at 8 pm Worldwide release! Exposes agenda behind Green New Deal & UN Paris Pact.
The film, hosted by actor Kevin Sorbo, exposes the myths behind the claims that man-made “climate change” causing more extreme weather, including droughts and wildfires.

Carlson’s segment on California politicians linking the wildfires to “climate change” was a brutal takedown of the unscientific claims of the climate activist politicians on the origin of the wildfires. Mann has been a partisan climate activist for years, warning President Donald Trump was “a threat to the planet.” Mann praised Biden’s Vice Presidential pick, Kamala Harris, on September 11, as “refreshing” for recognizing the “urgency of acting on the climate crisis.”...

Many of these climate change pushers have obviously never taken a science class. Global warming is a THEORY.

Definition of a theory:
an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events. : an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true.

So demon-rats need to cut the crap.
AND a theory can’t cause forest fires.
ARSON can and did.

Every single year here in California it doesn’t rain for six months straight from April to October , August September October November everything is so freaking dry out here it’s very very very dangerous I’m sure people on the East Coast are like what the Hells going on out there ? with all these fires 🔥??? as you can walk out there in the woods there with a blow torch and nothing is ever going to happen We’ve had some pretty spectacular and bad fires the last few years the first one I remember being a witness to his 1991 in Oakland and that was caused by some worker guys who didn’t put out their fire that they use to cook with This year’s first round far as was caused by a really weird round dry lightning are you gonna stop that? Of course they think the paradise fire of two years ago was caused by electric lines in very high Santa Anna winds The bottom line is if it doesn’t rain for six months straight you live in a desert and fire is just going to be a part of life regardless of whether it’s nature caused or human caused

How did man Made Global Warming cause the Forest to become so overgrown? We used to have 40-60 trees per acre and all the underbrush and dead trees were removed. Now we have over 200 trees per acre and more than half are DEAD!! And we have ALL the Dead wood and underbrush

California’s leftists are hypocrites

They like to claim how they are increasing their power from “renewables” in the state. Its technically true - 25-30% of California’s power is from renewable sources. BUT - California is a huge importer of power (nearly all generated by gas/nuclear) from neighboring states. Their true total of renewable power is <10%.

Its also why their summertime brownouts will get worse. They are not investing in back-up power in coal/gas/nuclear, but are instead relying on others supply to them.

It is global warming. Just take a poll. Colorado has wind storms but no fires. No global warming there.

That underbrush and dead wood and plants has to be cleaned out. If we don't do it, nature will. Fire is nature's clean-up crew. It cleans out the underbrush, dumps nutrients in the soil, and makes space for new growth. There were prehistoric fires that burned from the foothills of the Sierra to the Pacific Coast. But there are tens of millions of people there now, so they'd better allow some kind of clean-out effort, or you will see more of what we have now. Leave some native live undergrowth, of course, but clean out the kindling.

A theory is right, maybe more like a hypothesis. And there is no such thing as scientific consensus on anything. That's not how science works.

The federal government owns and manages over 20 million acres of forest in CA.

This guy's so anxious to ride his illegal immigration hobby horse and blame the state he must not have had time to do any basic research.

Unless there are lumber roads or there using controlled Burns, I can’t imagine clearing forest dead stuff.
