Roughly 50% of the air pollution in Western states is caused by wild fires.
You’d think the folks who claim to care so much about the environment would be doing more to lower that number.
Oh that's hot!!
California should reinstitute some akin to old prison chain gangs. Put them to work removing dead fuel from forests. Burn it in suitable incinerators for electricity. Need not be environmentally perfect, just better than emissions from burning naturally in the wild. Post incineration return the ash to same sites as fertilizer via more prison work. Start with wooded areas around rich liberals to reduce their fire risks. Thus gaining elite political support. Then prioritize by risk of expensive fires at given locations. Will take years to catch state up. But better, and with cheaper labor, than the expense of fighting many mega fires. And perfectly constitutional, read your 13th!

THE biggest cause of this disaster was Maui officials refusing to release water to fight the fire

Bump!
“In a forest fire in Montana the fire roared through public lands only to be stopped when it reached private forests. The healthy trees were created to fight off fires while the dead and dying forests are tinder boxes waiting to ignite.”
Years ago I did some internet research on forest fires in the SE of the USA. Lots of tree farms in Georgia, Carolinas, etc. Because the majority of them are private and managed the number of acres lost is relatively low. Then I thought maybe it was due to the wetter weather in the SE.
But years and years ago (80? 100?) they used to have huge fires as well, until they figured out how to manage their properties better.
As insane as the left has become, I am surprised they haven’t blamed the fires from the 2020 riots of their own constituents on climate change.
