Gavin Newsom says California wildfires are 'America fast-forward' if leaders don't address climate change
Washington Examiner ^ | 09/11/2020 | Mica Soellner

California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the country's leaders that the entire United States will soon mirror the raging wildfires that are working their way through thousands of acres of the state's land.

“California, folks, is America fast-forward,” Newsom said. “What we are experiencing right here is coming to a community all across the United States of America unless we get our act together on climate change — unless we disabuse ourselves of all the BS that’s being spewed by a very small group of people that have an ideological reason to advance the cause of a 19th-century framework and solution. We’re not going back to the 19th century.”

California is experiencing the worst wildfire season it's had in modern history, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. This year, over 3 million acres have already been burned, and the August Complex Fire in Northern California became the largest fire the state's ever recorded.

Newsom vowed to accelerate climate and clean energy initiatives his administration has pushed for throughout his leadership.

The fires are fully on Dem/Progressive policies. He is blaming everyone but his own party.

I thought California was on the front line of environmental issues.

My father was in California with the Corps of Engineers in the early ‘50s and fought forest fires.

California is indeed “America fast forward” IF the U.S. becomes a one-party Democrat-controlled operation like CA has been for the last decade. As a Californian, it gives me no pleasure to say it, but don’t be us.

"I'm going to need you to explain to me why Climate Change is only affecting California, okay? That'd be great."

Yeah, when some climate change radical is setting the woods on fire to further the climate change agenda, you’re gonna have a record-breaking fire season. Pure logic.

AND DOES CLIMATE CHANGE END AT THE CANADIAN BORDER?

Somebody slap the crap out of this idiot and tell him to shut up and go away. 50 years of forrest mismanagement and no logging have destroyed California. When I grew up there were saw mills and logging all over the Sierra forrest and now they are all gone and the forrest overgrown. PG&E stopped clearing trees from lines as they were forced to pay for alternative energy and close nuclear plants. Antifa arsonists up in Portland and Washington and vagrants and illegals and nuts starting fires in California. Bark Beatles destroying trees wholesale because of overgrowth and not climate change. The Sierra has always had cycles of wet and drought.

But again Canada does not have these issues and miraculously the fires stop at the Canadian border. Mounties must make great fire fighters Aye?

Weren’t we all supposed to be under water by now? And on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, Al Gore told Congress: “The Planet Has A Fever.”

Clear brush and practice sensible forestry management, you grinning moron. This isn't about "climate change", it's about Democrat incompetence.
