I was on the Dixie Fire. The place was typical overgrown Forest Service lane on vertical terrain. There are hardly any roads, thanks to Clinton’s Roadless initiative. It took 2-3 hours to drive to some of the divisions. Towns that had thinned heavily survived.

This is not “breaking news.” Editorial from lunatics? Yes.

THESE CRAZIES ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF OUR WHOLE AGRECULTURE SYSTEM.

We had better pay attention.

Good find. The Left’s intentions are an open secret.

ALL fire is “climate change” now, so...
ALL hurricanes are “climate change” now, so...
Whether it’s “too hot” or “too cold”...
NO MATTER THE WEATHER it’s “climate change”

So, QUESTION for the Editorial Staff at the Los Angeles Times:
WHAT ISN’T “climate change”?

Exactly, in Packwood WA the news was reporting during the early spring, that there COULD BE A BIG FIRE, because of all the underbrush. Instead of putting young adults and teens to work clearing the brush, they waited until the brush caught fire.

I remember in my youth, my Uncles who worked in the timber and construction industry, would spend as much time building or logging, as they did picking brush for profit, or working for the USFS. The logging companies would cut roads into the wilderness for access which helped with fires, but they also cut swaths of firebreaks.

When it was a down time in construction it was common for men to pick brush and sell it to companies that supplied it to florists. It paid well, and kept the forests healthy. They even were allowed to go up 15 feet on cedar trees and sell the boughs they cut, no charge by the state, but the guys made money keeping the forests safe. I think it was called “fringing”.

In WA it is obvious that the trees are too close together, often within 6-8 feet of each other with the ground covered by Salal and Huck between. Acres and acres will burn, just because people are no longer allowed to get firewood for the cost of their labor, to heat homes.

These forest fires are the direct result of government policy, and nature doing what it does. The solution is not retreat to the cities and leave the forests to burn, but to manage Gods green Earth.

Would same logic apply to New Orleans?

Climate hoax psychopaths can't support their beliefs with evidence and need to tone down their deranged entitlement. They are not “saving the planet”. They are ill.

“They have been taught that if you don’t live in a big city, you are a parasite and are killing the environment.”

Interesting. Isolate the cities so that no one can get in or out from the evil outside. They can live in their cities in safe isolation, without food, water, waste disposal or energy.
