Oh ye of little faith in the first Church of Climatology.

To the climate hoaxters, all you need is little twisted logic (ala Monte Python "what else floats?") and voila, man made climate change is at the root of all wildfires, including those started with a match by man.

Behold. ...and believe.

We went to see “Vice” last night. According to the movie, all the wildfires are Dick Cheney’s fault.

I’m always reminded of the BIG FIRE in California mentioned in TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST published in 1840.

***And because of climate change, dry conditions are lasting longer and, in turn, causing longer fire seasons.***

Back in 1957, public service announcements were warning us that there were so many wildfires in the USA, each year, they they would equal the size of Louisiana. That is 33.522 million acres. Have we reached that in any year since?

"Now, we are seeing fires that are unusual, like the Camp Fire that, at one point, burned through 70,000 acres [about 280 square km] in a day. We've never seen that before." I seem to recall that just a few days ago forestry experts were stating that the severity of the Camp fire 🔥was due to environmentalists demands that no clear cutting be allowed in forests.

How Do Wildfires Start?

This is a test, right?

I’m going to say . . . a match?

However, ignition is only the beginning. And because of climate change, dry conditions are lasting longer and, in turn, causing longer fire seasons.

Though it's been a record-breaking year in California, wildfires are not new. But the wildfires we see today are different from those natural blazes, burning faster and hotter.

Sure. Because bad forest management has NOTHING to do with this; the issue is some vague amorphous concept called "climate change" which is different than the actual climate change which has been a feature of earth climate since the earth formed.

And in what way do the forests burn differently now? Leave more fuel on the ground; fail to remove the deadwood; more fuel in a smaller area means that fires burn faster.

Maybe these self-styled environmentalists should not be the ones setting forest management policies. Maybe people who have actually studied the biological sciences with an emphasis on forest management should be the ones to set policy.

".... How Do Wildfires Start?...."

Pacific Gas and Electric Company?

PG&E Could Face Fire-Related Charges

"Historically, California burned more than it does now, but at [a] lower intensity and slower," Quinn-Davidson said. "Now, we are seeing fires that are unusual, like the Camp Fire that, at one point, burned through 70,000 acres [about 280 square km] in a day. We've never seen that before."

The change in our climate, perpetuated by human-made greenhouse gas emissions, extends the window of the annual fire season.

This area is now filled with houses covered in PLASTICS.

Look at the photos.

The brush burned and the trees were signed but the PLASTIC COVERED HOUSES BURNED TO ASHES.

It is not so much about how the fires start, but that intitial attack to put them out is seriously lacking.

there is no political will for initial attack suppression. It shows huge amounts of money spent for a very small amount of acreage burned

Um, doesn’t carbon dioxide put fires out? They need oxygen to burn, not CO2.

Solution: Pump out more CO2 until there’s not enough oxygen in the atmosphere for the fires to burn. Problem solved!

The worst two, the most recent big ones, in CA, we’re both started by utility / electric companies. The Bel Air fire of late 2017 was started by HOMELESS PEOPLE lighting fires, and it wasn’t the only one.

I guess the drought that made Okies nomads was also caused by that dang climate change - it’s been going on longer than the fake science has been aware of which means we actually all died from it 35 years ago and it’s just echoes of our consciousness that is so worried about it now....
