California Governor Jerry Brown said the wildfires ravaging the greater Los Angeles area are part of a "new normal" residents can expect due to man-made global warming.
[Snip]
"With climate change, some scientists are saying that Southern California is literally burning up," Brown said, according to CNN. "So we have to have the resources to combat the fires and we also have to invest in managing the vegetation and forests ... in a place that's getting hotter."
Brown's statements, though ominous, aren’t in line with the scientific consensus.

Gov. Brown is a living example of “This is your brain on drugs.”
Jerry...’member that deal you made in Paris ? I’m guessing you are now going to be fined a bazillion carbon credits.
The guy is a certified nitwit. It is laughable that cali ‘ s have elected this idiot loser for decades. LOL
What he really meant: 'the communist dictatorship in Sacramento ravaging the greater Los Angeles area is part of a new normal residents can expect due to democrat caused election fraud.'
I read someplace last week (may have been here on FR) that hundreds of years ago the Injuns, er Native Americans I mean, abandoned So. Cali because of the unpredictable fires, dryness, and such. They liked No. Cali and the Pacific NW because there was enough rain that things grew there, minimal fires, and there were huge salmon runs they could subsist off of. Of course, historical facts mean nothing to libtards when there is a political agenda to push.
The Chumash and their predecessors have lived there for at least 13,000 years. My sons mother is one.
I think Brown is a living example of “If I Only Had A Brain” wish from the Wizard of Oz.
Gee, if Moonbeam only had even half a brain he’d be ahead. He’d be a half-wit.
jerry brown—the new Al Gore without the charming personality.
Gov.Brown is too demented to know how to google “arson California.”
He just repeats talking points fed to him by the shadow government.
Ping.
Some left it... but I doubt it was all, because otherwise why would Spanish Catholics have been founding missions out that way?
It might not have taken long for American Indians to figure out a concept of “controlled burns.” If they didn’t wait for lightning to ignite big fires, but ignited little ones themselves while the fuel was minimal, they could have a more stable environment.
7 Dec: Long Beach Press Telegram: How do wildfires start? Usually with people
By Liset Marquez Updated 9 Dec
This week’s explosion of fire activity in Southern California may have many wondering: How do wildfires start?
In short, by humans, says John Keeley, who has been researching fire records from the past 100 years to determine the historical causes of fires in the state.
During Santa Ana winds one of the most common causes is power lines being blown down. Another is arson.
“Humans are the only sources of fires during Santa Ana winds,” said Keeley, a research ecologist with United States Geological Survey. “You don’t get lightning during Santa Ana wind conditions. Humans are responsible for all the fires, either directly or through the power lines.”
According to Cal Fire statistics, seven of the top 20 most destructive California wildfires were caused by power lines or arson. Another seven on that list are still under investigation or undetermined.
“A lot of arson-ignited fires occurs under Santa Ana wind conditions because I suppose the arsonist sees that as an opportunity to create a really big fire,” he said by phone Thursday afternoon.
As for other causes reported by CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service, Keeley said his research has found...ETC ETC READ IT ALL
*****What’s not a factor?
Climate change, Keeley said.
He said climate change would only figure in California’s more heavily forested landscapes in the state.
Looking at 100 years of climate data and fire data for the state, “in Southern California we could not find any relationship between climate and fire,” he said. “We believe the reason is, every single year it’s hot enough and dry enough for a big fire.”...
Which means it’s outside factors that determine a big wildfire.
“That’s usually people igniting fires under bad conditions,” he said.

some of the following may be small fires, but they all add up:
9 Dec: Pasadena Star News: Fire officials: Pasadena brush fire is arson – the third Southern California case this week
by Brian Day
The Pasadena case is the third arson or attempted arson reported in recent days — one happened Friday night in Anaheim and a second blaze was reported in Irwindale — as much of Southern California was shrouded under the smoke of multiple, massive wildfires...
Anaheim residents helped police detain a man who authorities say was spotted trying to set fires near the Anaheim Hills Festival shopping center at 6 p.m. Friday, authorities said. No active fires were reported in the area at the time.
And police in Irwindale arrested a 33-year-old Azusa man Wednesday on suspicion of arson after he was seen fleeing from the origin point of a nearly 1-acre brush fire near Lario Park in Irwindale...

6 Dec: CBS San Francisco: Suspect Arrested In Lake Berryessa Arson Fires
A 59-year-old Napa woman has been arrested for allegedly lighting wildland fires around the north end of Lake Berryessa, authorities announced Wednesday.
Cal Fire said Debra Ann Windholz was being held in Napa County Jail on $500,000 bail for eleven counts of arson to forest land...
However, Cal Fire officials were also quick to point out that Windholz was not responsible for any of the devastating fires that began during the night of October 8 across Napa, Sonoma, and Lake Counties.
The investigations into the origin and cause of the October fires are ongoing...

Actually he’s an example of a Jesuit brain
Anything but the fact that they don’t do fire reduction programs.
The pre-columbian Indians managed the land with fire.
They used it to burn off undergrowth and to keep open areas open.
That leads to easier hunting and more habitat for preferred prey species.
So, they do believe a LOT in Mother Nature, maybe she is mad at them. Or...if there is any substance to the Bible, God says if our ways were displeasing the EARTH would vomit out it’s inhabitants. So, maybe the Celebs need to look in the mirror and make some real hard choices. Maybe the NFL can save them.
He looks like that Silicon Valley suicide cult guru and many other such nut cases out of Cali.
