#MotherJones says we know how to prevent #ForestFires from spreading, but the people who run #California have chosen to do the exact opposite.

The environmentalists screw everything up. Bunch of do-gooders.
I’m surprised Mother Jones is saying this (or that ‘she’ is even still around) because Mother Jones is the most liberal of all ‘mothers’.
Leftism:
Evil is Good
Bitter is Sweet
Down is Up
“Further complicating the picture is climate change—the major factor behind the longer fire seasons and bigger fires.
One study projected that if fossil fuels remain the dominant source of global energy and greenhouse gas emissions keep rising, by 2085 the acreage burned by fire in California will increase one-third to three-fourths.”
Had to get that in there.
The treehuggers out thisaway made that deal ages ago — let us dictate “management” of forests and we will deliver voting block or fires on demand — to encourage more tax $$.
PG&E had an opportunity to rat this scam out when they got (wrongly) accused of fires caused by their power lines. Yeah, they fraudulently mis-appropriated $$ from rate increases that was mandated for management of forests beneath their lines. But, BUT, it is CaCaLand gov’mt that chooses to not clear out undergrowth across hundreds of square miles. It is that undergrowth that is the source of all widespread wildfires.
PG&E could have gone to court and forced the corrupt gov’mt to describe their management. But, they made more $$$ by agreeing to hide it.
BTWay, I worked for PG&E for ~ten years. This is not hyperbole. They are as corrupt as the gov’mt.
PDJT said to rake the trees out and the evil commies couldn’t get the video out fast enough of people with tiny rakes raking bark on trees…
Let’s not forget the wacko enviro-terrorists that go out and start forest fires to prove global warming is real now.
This in Wyoming near Yellowstone. I guess when the will is there the brush can be cleared.
“Let’s not forget the wacko enviro-terrorists that go out and start forest fires to prove global warming is real now.”
I know I will never forget them! Portland BLM/Antifa burned my entire community. I lost everything.
This is probably another example of the recently acquired control of communist media by the patriots.
If the article is in favor of controlled burns they are in the right. Not all environmentalists take the extremist view that the only valid policy is one that is completely hands off.
Great article. We have wherewithall and technology to prevent forest fires, but the Greenies will not allow us to save the trees.
pretty sure the stupid regarding forest management came in to full swing in the 80’s, we never had wild fires like this when I was growing up, but they actually used to clear out the dead wood and do prescribed burns all the time back then.
It’s called Fire Regime Condition Class and it’s been known for decades.

PG&E’s stockholders certainly didn’t benefit. Their stock crashed from @70 to 6 in 2017, and today is around 17-18.
Among other things this wiped out the 401K’s of thousands of employees. The effect on morale was devastating. I knew many.
