Jane in tears on taxpayer-funded Australian ABC-TV:

VIDEO: 7m15s: 10 Sept: ABC 7.30 Report: Jane Fonda on why she’s devoting the rest of her life to fighting climate change
TRANSCRIPT:
LEIGH SALES, ABC: Can you remember when you first saw Greta Thunberg and the impact it made on you?

JANE FONDA: When I first saw her was on the pages of a book by Naomi Klein called ‘On Fire. A Burning Case of the Green New Deal’.
I’ve seen Greta on TV and found her so clear, so direct and of course, everyone talked about the fact that she was autistic but it was Naomi who helped me understand the relationship between the autism and the climate crisis.
Unlike most of us who aren’t on the spectrum, people with autism or Asperger’s, when they are interested in something, and she’s been a science nerd all her little life, when they focus on that it’s with a laser focus.
It doesn’t matter if people agree with them. It doesn’t matter if they’re not popular. That’s it and she saw what was happening and she looked around and people weren’t reacting the way you would when your house is on fire. And she said, “We have to act like it’s a crisis, cause it is and we have leave our comfort zones.”...

LEIGH SALES: You’re 82. Do you think about whether climate change will be the cause to which you dedicate the rest of your life?

JANE FONDA: Given the small window that we have to avoid the tipping point, I think probably, yeah. I think it will be, this is what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life. Yeah, because it’s the most important thing. If we don’t make it, oh God, it breaks my ... really breaks my heart.
I have children, I have grandchildren and things are just going to spiral out of control.
All these wonderful species are going to go and life is going to be very, very difficult to live and eventually possibly the human species will go as well because we are trashing our home and I just, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself or die with myself if I don’t do something...

LEIGH SALES: Observing from here, it really feels like America is going through a very pivotal moment in its history. Is that how it feels to you there as well?

JANE FONDA: Yes. Totally. This is, a lot of people call it an inflection. I think it’s a tidal wave. I don’t know. It’s big, it’s a big deal. It’s a big deal and it’s so, a lot of people are waking up.
The COVID has, COVID didn’t break us, COVID exposed where we were already broken and I think a lot of people are seeing that for the first time and that’s really important...

LEIGH SALES: Do you consider yourself an actor foremost and an activist second or the other way around?

JANE FONDA: Activist, actor.

LEIGH SALES: Given that, how do you then decide which acting projects you want to allow to take up some of your time?

JANE FONDA: Do I need money? There’s that. People forget that we are working people. I belong to three unions. I have to earn a living. I have a bottom line that I’ve got, that I have to meet and its tough right now.
I mean, not that tough, I have roof over my head and a very nice home that’s paid for and food and I have an assistant with me and I’m very, very lucky, but I’m worried. We will have gone almost a year without working and that’s scary...

At most they can claim that the prolonged drought is because of global warming. But even if it were, the thing to do is not try to cool off the planet, but to clear all the dry brush and dead trees, and cut away the woods around power lines. That way you are safe from the present drought, and can worry about the future global climate at your leisure. This is obvious to anyone but stupid people.

If you allow the lumber industry to manage the forests the gummit doesn’t have to pay for the clearing of the dead and dying trees. Within a decade the massive fires would be over.

As far as weather and fires. The main cause of the fires (at least in AZ, in CA probably too) was the cold rainy Winter we got this year. That causes all kind of desert plants to spring to life. They quickly grow, flower and seed themselves to wait to the next winter like this. Their dry remains are the basic fuel of the summer fires. Well known fact! Every year we have rainy Winter, they predict a lot of fires in Summer!
Hot dry Summer also helps, but that’s desert!

I can say that “raking the forest floor” is not practical ..

CA is a dry state. So is OR and WA state.

Exactly right and has happened since the beginning of time when you have the East winds.

This is easy, there was an ICE Age, what did man do to cause Global Warming to melt that ice?

Fires are started by three ways. Lightning. Accidentally. And intentionally. The first two can’t be helped except people can be more careful but when an arsonist starts a fire then it’s attempted murder or murder. There has to be SEVERE penalties or we’ll never get close to lowering the amount of fires.

As Trump keeps reiterating “Forest management”. The envirowackos don’t want that.

On this date in 1931, the average afternoon temperature around the US was 89 degrees, almost 60% of the US was over 90 degrees and more than one third was over 95 degrees. Every state except five were over 90 degrees, and fifteen states were over 100 degrees. The hottest temperature was 109 degrees at Forestburg, South Dakota, which was 42 degrees warmer than today.

14 Sept: Climate Depot: Why does ‘climate change’ spare California’s private forests? – ‘Private forests are not burning down because they are properly managed’
Via California Policy Center
Climate change spares private forests:
Katy Grimes, editor of the California Globe, points out that the disparate impact of climate change on public and private forests suggests another factor is at play, namely the lack of proper forest management in government-run forests...

14 Sept: Climate Depot: They Know How to Prevent Megafires. Why Won’t Anybody Listen?
PROPUBLICA, AUG 28: They Know How to Prevent Megafires. Why Won’t Anybody Listen?
by Elizabeth Weil
The pattern is a form of insanity: We keep doing overzealous fire suppression across California landscapes where the fire poses little risk to people and structures. As a result, wildland fuels keep building up. At the same time, the climate grows hotter and drier. Then, boom: the inevitable. The wind blows down a power line, or lightning strikes dry grass, and an inferno ensues...

Academics believe that between 4.4 million and 11.8 million acres burned each year in prehistoric California. Between 1982 and 1998, California’s agency land managers burned, on average, about 30,000 acres a year. Between 1999 and 2017, that number dropped to an annual 13,000 acres. The state passed a few new laws in 2018 designed to facilitate more intentional burning. But few are optimistic this, alone, will lead to significant change. We live with a deathly backlog. In February 2020, Nature Sustainability published this terrifying conclusion: California would need to burn 20 million acres — an area about the size of Maine — to restabilize in terms of fire.

13 Sept: Forbes: Forests That Survive Megafires Prove Good Management Trumps Climate Change
by Michael Shellenberger
Over the last few days, California Governor Gavin Newsom, other politicians, and the news media have pointed to climate change as the single most important cause of historic, high-intensity “megafires” ripping through California and Oregon.
“This isn’t about ideology,” tweeted Governor Newsom, adding “What we are experiencing is an existential climate crisis.”

But California’s leading forest scientists say that fire suppression and the accumulation of wood fuel, not climate change, are what’s made California’s fires more intense.
“Climate dries the [wood] fuels out and extends the fire season from 4-6 months to nearly year-round but it’s not the cause of the intensity of the fires,” said US Forest Service scientist Malcolm North. “The cause of that is fire suppression and the existing debt of wood fuel.”...

But somebody might make a profit off of doing something useful; make money instead of just getting it. That can’t be allowed. Only leeches are allowed to have money, and only so long as they donate to the DNC and employ either union workers or illegals. Everyone else pays taxes and gets hamstrung.
