Here is a story that most people won’t see because it doesn’t push the radical left agenda. Wildfires are down 85% this year.

Not much left to burn in Calif
Meanwhile, cities burning are up 75%, wonder what the connection would be?
Couldn’t be that ELF and the other fire starters have moved on to Antifa? Naw, that isn’t it.
Bingo. The climate varies no matter what man does.
My theory is they stopped paying leftists to start fires.
Interesting, but my theorey is that they have succeeded in spotting fires and hitting them before they grow. Does not always work but could be responsible for a reduced number. Your theory could be valid too.
I remember when people were called nuts for pointing this out in the 1970s. However, I earned a good part of the money for college by interfering with the fire cycle, so there's that. Had a lot of fun doing it, too.
Those really hot fires kill off everything... Then we take airplanes and dump tree seeds on the area resulting in a tree or five every square foot.
It’s amazing there were any forests left before man started “taking care” of them.
Maybe the headline should be Wildfire Arson down 85%?
There was a late summer storm that relieved some of the dryness of the ground across Northern California. That helped immensely
Leftists believe forest fires are caused by global warming, while in truth it is trees that are the cause
it was pretty amazing how the ‘wildfires’ stopped at the borders of California
Had 2 huge ones in NM this year, but they don’t count because they were both runaway “controlled” burns. (Thank you Govt.)
Gavin wants to run for president...
Another success for the Biden administration's policies!
The burying of this story burns me up.
HUzzah for global cooling!
Most wild fires in the USA are caused by humans.
Many wild fires are acts of deliberate arson.
No. They were super aggressive hitting every fire before it grew. Also, we lucked out that we didn’t have too many during wind events. The ones that started very near us were on dead calm days. The one that ate us up in 2017 started during 80 MPH winds. Big difference.
You are correct on interrupting the cycle.
Fire burns where fire burns. In other words, if you have had one, you are liable to have another. Fire follows terrain in the right weather. The terrain is always there, the weather will reoccur.
Our fir, The Nuns Fire in 2017, was preceded by the Hanly in 1964 and by another in 1926, and another in 1871. Those are the ones we know of that followed nearly the exact same pattern.
The big difference is in 26 and 64 it took days to burn what burned in hours in 17. The earlier ones had people grazing, clearing, and prescribed or controlled burning the area. With the absence of those things or at least a reduction, we had a crazy fuel load by 17. Imagine having wood s altered across a field versus piling it for a bonfire. It is common to see 12, 14, 18 foot high brush here. I’m scared to push it with the dozer as I don’t know if I’m driving off a cliff or not.
Bottom line, it’s going to burn, the question is how crazily you want it to burn. It’s like the old Napa Auto Parts commercial, you can pay me now or you can pay me later.
Actually, the number of arsonists caught and arrested this year in CA increased. I’m unsure if that means there were more arsonists or law enforcement had a good year apprehending them, perhaps a little of both.
Also, we did not have a lot of red flags/weather events conducive to big fires.
Also on the plus side, most arsonists don’t know what they are doing, fortunately. The often don’t pick weather or terrain conducive to a large fire.
