Maybe they should do a study to find out why today’s utes seem to latch on to almost anything and make it a mental health issue.

Or is it the exspurts who are doing that?

The “knee jerk response” is to fight the notion that there are more wildfires, relying on “data” from before 1983 before objective record keeping was established. The fear is that the fact if wildfires or their affected area has increased int he last few years it will support the climate change bs, because that is how the media spins it. It’s sad that the real causes won’t get addressed because opponents of climate change bs are redirected out of anything related to environment/ecology at all, instead of just opposing climate change bs specifically.

Except the left doesn’t really want to stop the wildfires.

They’re too useful in creating more reasons to control people.

LOL. I think the marijuana smoke is what is causing the problem.

I came up with a bizarre conspiracy theory for fun. Maybe others thought of this too (perhaps some that even believe it). Governments/elites douse the forests with some chemical that causes sterilization, causes some specific illness or genetic engineering, and/or facilitates mind control, then lets the forests burn to spread it all around the US masked by wildfire smoke.

“...analyzed 10,000 children aged 9 to 11...”

So they analyzed kids in an ultra left state like Colorado and found something they matched to a mental disorder, and call that a study? It’s possible the same thing could be said about kids being exposed to Colorado public schools. Same disorder.

That’s exactly why I’ve been so vocal about the problem.

Well, that and overwhelming ignorance.

Yup.

I’ve labeled the response the “Industrial Wildfire Complex.” The media is all-in (go figure, since it supports the agenda).

There’s a throng of new people aching to suck at the government teat, and the ignorant populace sees the smoke and just says, “Ok” to the budget demands, bending over willingly for the higher prices & taxes.

Preaching to the choir.

Now juxtapose that graph with the $$ expended and see what happens, then imagine what the budgets will be the longer they keep “fire suppression” their #1 strategy (vs. protection of people/property and forest health).

Something they LABEL as a mental disorder, and there's the rub. It's a very subjective determination as there is no physical standard per se of what a healthy mental state is.

Define that and then you'll have some basis for determining someone is not in good mental health.

It's who gets to define what a *mental disorder* is in the first place that makes this *study* worthless (except as a payout to someone). God hating atheists? There's a real unbiased source.

This BS is meant to persuade the ignorant populace to approve ever higher budgets - and consequent taxes - for wildfire suppression.

Don’t be stupid.

Not caused by psycho active drugs?
Seems weird.

It shouldn't take a genius to know wildfire smoke is far from salubrious. So the left uses the obvious fact and redirects it into "proof" of global warming.

That said the only budget needed here is the additional electric bill to fry wildfire arsonists in the chair.
