Not being a meteorologist nor a climate scientist, I could have sworn that California had the most rain and snow in some 10 years. I heard the drought was over. Looking at how high our reservoirs are now and having to open damn overflow gates into the ocean, I guess I was wrong even though I live here. Brown is an ill-informed old commie who just doesn't keep up. The bigger problem is the Senate and Assembly who buy into any eco-fanatic whining.
I'm counting the months when my wife retires from a great job and we can leave. Reno is the destination.
Gee, maybe Governor Moonbeam and the democrats running the state ought to give the illegals that have overrun the state more of the tax payers money. If they need an excuse to do exactly that, out of control wildfires and too cheap unwilling tax payers will do. The good hardworking tax paying patriotic citizen residing in California and who cannot leave for whatever reason are SO screwed.
If it’s Yellow, let it mellow.
If it’s Brown, flush it down.
There have always been fires in the American West.
A century or two ago, there was not much to burn in the way of homes and other structures.
Brown is bat-crap crazy.
California’s governor has said that deadly wildfires in the winter will be ‘the new normal’,
2004 it was said we would haves waves of Hurricanes. We didn’t experience much for 10 years. So, with that logic look for 2 or 3 hard winters in a row coming to California.
Right. Like last winter when I had to drive 40 miles out of my way to get home because entire mountain sides had slid into the highway because of unrelenting downpours.
In Tahoe they called it "Januburied". The snow was the deepest ever recorded.
In addition to being addled, Brown's memory is non-existent.
Of course he would say that!
No mention of be tens of thousands of homes built in the past few decades in formerly unbuilt areas of a very fire prone landscape.
But yes climate change; it’s the cause!
Less than a year ago dams in California were in danger of failing due to huge rain that has occurred in the past and will occur in the future. How does he explain this relative to "Global Warming?"
In Texas we just call it weather!
In Jerry Browns addled mind if it is to hot, to cold, to wet or to dry it is all because of an unproven science of man made global warming.
Governor Brown is either an idiot or a lying charlatan, but I suspect a bit of both.
If I were an home insurance company, the only way I would insure any home there is if the zoning requires ALL brush to be removed away to a point of many feet from any building, and, that all houses be roofed with tile roofs.
In this day, there are machines that can be used to grind that brush on site.
Many are on the market. 4 way tilt and they can go nearly right straight up a hill.

I blame them on Santy Claus!! Reindeer poop is fueling the inferno.
I blame Governor Moombeam’s thought processes on too much acid when he was dating Linda Ronstadt.
Moonbeam, just another cheap attention whore Ca. politician reveling in his moment in the spotlight.
his infrastructure management is pathetic, dams, wild brunch, roads. Now he blames wild fires on global warming. He uses 20 billion of our tax money on services to illegals. The pension fund is a disaster. But if you watched 60 minutes tonight you’d see he is running for sainthood.

Time to give the saw mills a chance make use of the
timber instead of letting it burn, the loggers would
build access roads that fire fighters could use and
Could spot fires quicker.
But I have no doubt that a liberal would much rather
see the lumber burn up.
