that blows...

And how much of the mental health meltdown caused by brainwashing about the “existential threat of climate change” exacerbated by sniffing the smoke: “the sky is falling”?

[From The Deer Stand]

Youth need to stay away from wildfires.

"Youth need to stay away from wildfires."

If you don't smoke forests, don't start. If you do, quit. Forest smoking can be hazardous to your health.

Coincidentally, the areas where wildfires most often occur in the US are in increasingly left-wing states.

But that can’t have anything to do with it...

Excellent post!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

As we used to say in the old country, "Post hoc ergo propter hoc".

[Right Wing Vegan]

It’s all vicious cycle, with leftist media and politicians at the center fanning the flames, so to speak, emboldening arsonists to set fires “caused by global warming.”

[Seruzawa]

Wait. Campfires make people crazy? That’s what they are saying.

[Libloather]

Any word on the smoke from EV fires?

“Wildfires are the reason I murdered Granny with a fire axe, Yer Honor. Wildfires set by MAGA hat wearing White Supremacist conservatives.” Hey, it’s worth a try.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Back in 1957, there were Public Service warnings on TV about the number of wildfires in the US, if put together, could cover the entire state of Louisiana. We have not gotten close to that amount of fires in decades!
Then I think back to my youth living in an old house with a smokey fireplace and wood stove.
Think of all the millions before that subject to wood or coal smoke before the evil Natural GAS and propane came on the scene.

“And how much of the mental health meltdown caused by brainwashing”

Via social media.

A few months ago, I watched a mother at a grocery store, pushing her 1ish age kid in the cart with a cell phone in front of his face.

When my kids were that age, I walked down the grocery aisle singing the ABC song!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am going to come right out and say that this is BS.

[Red Badger]

Somehow I think it’s smoke from a more personal source..........

[logi_cal869]

Well, get used to it.

A century of defective forest practices will take many generations to correct, assuming the government acknowledges its errors.

In either event, the fires - and smoke - will continue, if not worsen, regardless how much $$ they throw at the man made problem.

Full disclosure: I am not an environmental activist, so don’t go blowing smoke up my arse in a knee jerk response as such. This is a government created problem.

“Fire Ecology” is real; the sooner we accept it - and adapt - the faster things will correct and the more $$ will be saved.

THIS STRETCH IS WORSE THAN CLOTHING ON LIZZO

[metmom]

Wow, they are really getting desperate to blame anything but leftist ideology.

[mythenjoseph]

This is absolutely ridiculous.I imagine those doing this foolish “study” got a state or federal grant....insane.
