Australian fires

[Dan Druff]

WTF?, so if you are from Trump, you just have to ignore science? Facts?
You are going w/his 'you need to rake the forests' BS?
I'm sorry, did we used to clear dangerous brush and have our electrical lines and equipment well maintained, and we just stopped for no reason?
All the stuff you blame has been here for 50 years, why all of a sudden do we have fire season and rolling black outs?
I just can't believe anyone from CA doesn't buy that climate change has caused this.


And once again, there is only one network pushing this BS.
I'm sure Fox "news" presents it like it is 50/50, but it is 97/3, and you know most of those 3 % were on the Koch brother's payroll.

Do scientists agree on climate change?

Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.

Between government negligence regarding failing to clear dangerous brush and poorly maintained electrical lines and equipment, we have seen a huge increase in brush fires during the mid September to mid November months.

The electrical thing is easy to explain. The equipment is getting old and is not being maintained well.

Regarding the climate, I have spent many decades in southern CA. I know what the climate is and was like. It hasn't changed. Not enough to cause a massive difference in fires.

You can't even blame drought because the 2019 fires followed a winter/spring which saw above average precipitation.
