Jerry Brown blames climate change for state's early fire season

Gov. Jerry Brown put the state’s early wildfire season in global terms Monday, saying the state would have to grow accustomed to more forest fires as a consequence of climate change.

But of course, what else could it be?

I work for a very large facility that’s bigger than some state counties. Lot’s of wilderness, lots of trees. It’s pretty much a year round occurrence to be told of a controlled burn being conducted by the USDA. I always think to myself when these fires in California start ‘Do they just leave all the deadwood to collect in the forests? Don’t they do anything to control the outbreak of fires?’ I mean, this happens every year. Seems like it would be simple to prevent. I always assume that there must be some rule that says they can’t disturb the precious ecosystem by burning off the kindling that collects every year. Then a fire eventually starts anyway, kills all the precious forest creatures, a few people and does several $100 million in damage.

I’ll admit, though, that I really don’t know the situation in CA. Never been and plan on staying as far from there as possible. Seems to be overrun with morons.

I thought this was the coolest spring on record?

It’s instructive to remember that once the Nazis and the Soviet Communists seized control of their respective governments, even total war couldn’t pry their rat weasel asses from the seats of power.

Jerry Brown and his Democommie buddies have seized the reins of power in California...

The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs. Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter, basic food, and medical care. I’m talking about welfare for all. Without it, you’re going to have warfare for all. Without a universal health care like every other civilized country, without a minimum level of income, this country will explode. You can’t blame the guy at the bottom forever. At some point there’s a reaction and we’ll see that the real criminals are those calling the tune, making the rules, and walking to the bank. We have the money, we have the brain power. The United States now has the highest measured wealth of any nation ever in the history of the world. We could rebuild our cities, we could create the kind of buying power and community well-being that will provide for peace. The guaranteed income is one way.

Another way is to have always the availability of work in a nonprofit, in community service. A third is to start giving people training to develop skills where they can be self-supporting. You could come up with a cash supplement. Even conservatives have suggested a negative income tax to cut out the bureaucracy. If we were smart, we’d get rid of welfare and give people a family assistance like they do in Europe…

The problem isn’t even a problem. Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we’re all in it together. It’ll work when there’s a shared sense of destiny. It can be done! It’s all there! What isn’t there is the leadership to create the kind of social network, the safety net, the distribution that would truly create a just and equal society…

We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let’s-take-care-of-one-another. That’s the creative challenge. First, expose relentlessly the big lie that comes over the tube every night-that if you just go out and find that job, and work harder, it’ll all be fine. It won’t! There’s not enough work to go around and a lot of the pay is not fair. Unless you totally yank up that system and create a better one, unless the spirit changes, unless the heart opens, unless we confront power with the truth of our own unarmed but absolute fearless truth, we’re not going to overcome it. Evil is too embedded to be overcome by anything other than a spiritual challenge.
