And regarding the comment about the wildfires, could it be just that more people now are moving into areas where there was very little or no housing in those areas back in a year like 1960 or even 1980 and where the wildfires had always been part of the natural cycle?
More wildfires means, really, that the jihadis have discovered another way to destroy stuff. All it takes is a match, and they can bring chaos to whatever order good folks have worked hard to achieve.
Here is another fact that goes unreported. The environmental groups stopped PG&E from clearing brush a safe distance from their large transmission lines. The hot, high winds come up, blow a huge branch across two lines phase- to-phase. Instant brushfire in a remote area.
