California’s Mismanagement of Forests and Fires

NO IT IS NOT GLOW BULL WARMING CAUSING FOREST FIRES IN CALIFORNIA!

California’s Gov. Brown Again Blames Fires On Global Warming — He Couldn’t Be More Wrong

The mismanagement of both state and federal forest lands.
It’s the triumph of “green” ideology over common sense.

Beginning in 1994, with the best of intentions, President Clinton put in place a plan to limit logging of old-growth trees to protect the ENDANGERED Spotted Owl in Western forests. Those moves pretty much ended what had been a policy of active management of fire threats in our national forests. Logging halted, the burnable fuel on the forest floor built up, and fires, while not more frequent, became more intense and threatening to nearby towns and homes.

“(Before 1994) mostly fuels were removed through logging, active management — which they STOPPED— and grazing,” Bob Zybach, a reforestation consultant who has a Ph.D. in environmental science told the Daily Caller Foundation in an interview. “You TAKE AWAY logging, grazing and maintenance, and you get firebombs.”

Mismanagement Is Nothing New
The Western Governors Association even warned about the mismanagement of our forest resources as far back as 2005 in a report:

“Over time the fire-prone forests that were NOT thinned, burn in uncharacteristically destructive wildfires, and the resulting loss of forest carbon is much GREATER than would occur if the forest HAD been thinned BEFORE fire moved through,” the report warned. “In the long term, leaving forests overgrown and prone to unnaturally destructive wildfires means there will be significantly less biomass on the ground, and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.”

We hate to say it, but Trump seems to know more about the causes of the California conflagration than Brown. What’s truly a shame is that Brown is the one in denial. And his policies will LEAD TO BIGGER FIRES FIRES AND MORE DAMAGE TO HOMES THAN EVER BEFORE IN THE FUTURE!

In northern CA, over thirty people have been killed by fires, with over two hundred still listed as missing. Gov moonbeam gives a wooden, uncompassionate speech about the fires and almost immediately launches into the climate change BS. Beyond shameful. He truly does hate the people of CA. His successor, gruesome Newsome will be far worse for this state.

I heard Trump criticized yesterday for criticizing the lack of forest management, he should have been more “comforting.” Maybe I missed it but haven’t heard a word of comfort or even photo ops from either the governor or governor elect — Newsom’s still celebrating his ascension and making plans to be at the border to welcome the migrant caravan? IOW, zero leadership.

Having spent a large portion of my life living in close proximity to the largest forested area in the Lower 48 States, I have some observations to make about wild or forest fires.

There hasn’t been a single year out of the last 60, where I have not smelled wood smoke at some point during the warmer season of the year. Not from a wood stove, but from a tree, dry grass or under story fuels in a forest, burning.

Cellulose burns. Lesson number one. Fire needs fuel in order to burn. Forests and their environs are an immense fuel source. Therefore, humans that are in close proximity to forests should, if they do not want to be fuel, undertake efforts to reduce the amount of free fuel, or cellulose, nearby.

Since I like living where I do, I undertake regular fuel reduction programs, so that if and when the forest around me ignites, the fire will be far enough away that it can be controlled and extinguished.

I refuse to be a victim of any thing in life, other than old age. Since most of the potential fuel around me is growing within the boundaries of a National Forest, I make sure that the local forest managers, have active fuels reduction programs either planned or in place and being acted upon.

I don’t expect the forest to be clear cut so I don’t burn up, but, I do expect the floor and ladder fuels to be cleaned and removed regularly. Bottom line is, if I don’t make a fuss about, who will? Complaining after the fact solves nothing. What happens in California is criminal. It is possible to reduce fuels and fire IF regular management programs are enacted on a regular basis.

Fire is going to come. It is just that when it does, will it be out of control or not? It’s up to us to participate in and see to it that when it does, it makes as small an impact as possible.

you people in CA deserve this….stupidity has consequences

This is what you get for listening to lieberals and the fatherless MORONS. Do you know how soft Jerry Brown’s hands are? Do you see the feminine hands of Trudeau Deau?

Neither ever touched a shovel in his life. Yet they see fit to RULE you. The little men out to save planet Earth from working men.

Lieberals always bring death to you, but not before a little human misery and suffering before you go. But this time it was by FIRE. Unusual of them. Very quick. Usually it’s a lot of MENTAL suffering before you go.

So few Americans have heard about “agenda 2015” “agenda 2030” by the “nwo”/”cfr”/”trilaterals”. This is about driving Americans off of their lands and force them into the cities where they can more easily be CONTROLLED!
Look at all of the People who live in the suburbs, in the past, who were and are being harassed by government agencies, by decrees and law suits, to the point of not being able to REPAIR or REBUILD what a fire has damaged or destroyed on their OWN properties.

The local news network affiliate shills in Los Angeles are having a smarmy field day obfuscating Trump’s accurate comments about California’s failed forest management being the cause of the catastrophic fires of this month and in recent years.
They’re displaying a Tourettes-like tick, repeating again and again that “seventy percent of the state’s forests are managed by the federal government,” as if California and the federal government are not in Leftist “Green” Enviro-Facism lockstep, and as if 30 percent is insignificant, in any case.
I don’t know who these Pravda newsreaders think they’re fooling.
It’s only themselves.

Look into the UN’s Agenda 21-2030, and you will see that Moonbeam has been very successful in promoting their agenda which includes returning 2/3 of the world’s land surface to “pristine wilderness,” no humans allowed. How better to get rid of those pesky human beings than to burn them out? Fires and severe weather are happening worldwide and have nothing to do with man-made global warming. Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time, but have you ever heard of “weather wars?” The globalist agenda, now being revealed and better understood by the public, will be shoved down our throats at breakneck speed now that the evil Dhimmicrats have stolen the reins of Congress.

Joel 2:3 I believe that sometimes “paradise” is supposed to burn (naturally, probably preventatively; not intentionally or murderously). What the hell do I know though? Gratefully. Merry Thanksgiving!
