More bull$hit from the “true believers”. Trump is right about poor forest management.

“Celebrities” are the LAST people to listen to

They used to call it global warming. Now we are entering a likely cooling decade or two they changed it to climate change. That way whatever happens, they can say they need more government power.

I do feel sorry for the Conservatives who have lost their homes or suffered in any other way. I DO NOT feel sorry for those who voted for Brown, and now Newsom, as it was Brown who vetoed bi-partisan legislation in California that would have required Forest Managament to take out the dead trees and clear the brush on the forest floor. THAT is why the fires in California are so devastating. And they do hurt those Dem voters AND Conservatives alike.

The Guardian is now making you subscribe to read their articles apparently. No thanks. Let them fail, especially because they write trite nonsense like this. If we stop linking to these people we stop helping in the promotion of their lunacy being spread like a plague. Yeah, you can read it if you don’t mins having only 1/3 of a page to do so.

Neil Young the singer? The nut looks like Manson. He’s one of the craziest of the crazies.

” If celebrity victims of climate change can’t silence the deniers, who can?”

Using lib “logic”, that sounds like a dog-whistle to some unhinged nut to go out and kill people.

so he says “without any evidence.”

i always thought a fire was caused by a spark or a flame and lots of dry kindling.

The truth must now be told. Mrs. O’Leary’s cow did NOT kick over a lantern. It was an extreme gastrointestinal methane attack. Climate change was happening, even then!

Celebrities leave the biggest individual carbon footprint, so no one has to listen to them.

Okay people, once more so those of you in the back can hear me.

I don't deny climate change. I fully embrace the fact that since the dawn of time, the Earth's climate has been in flux. The only constant is change.

What I deny, is that man can do a damned thing about it. Sure, we can clean the air and water, then what? CO2 is plant food, not pollution.

West Coast forests have been burning since there have been west coast forests.

Some trees and plants actually NEED fire. They have adapted to it because it is so frequent an occurrence.

Throughout recorded history, every time the temperature fell, people died.

When temperatures rise, life explodes. It’s been true ever since the Cambrian.

If you like life, you should like global warming.

If you don’t like living things, ban the essential plant nutrient, carbon dioxide, cripple the plants, starve the animals, and glaze everything over with ice.

Your call...

The sun determines so much of our planetary conditions. How do these dooshnozzle celebrities propose to control THAT?

This exposes the flaw in people who believe in nothing greater than man. They refuse to accept their own helplessness.

So the fires are from “climate change” and not because they were too stupid to cut fire breaks.

Got it.

Someone needs to call out the MSM and the political/Scientist, Federal Grant money takes and say out loud, “BULLSH*T!”

We need to review every report published by the IPCC, NOAA and other organizations over the last 20 years and identify the false reports and the scientists who approved them via peer review. Get rid of all grant money to those who approved the faulty paper.

Laziness and lying should never be rewarded.
