CA to Thin Out Forests

Timothy Birdnow

California plans to spend tens of thousands of dollars to thin out the fuel in their forests to preven fires - precisely as Donald Trump advocated (and was roundly attacked for it).

According to the Blaze:

So why now?

Well, obviously Trump's not in office any longer. But also because Gavin Newsome is in trouble politically and he cannot afford a major fire - with the attending blame - at this point. Newsuince needs tempers to cool, along with the rest of the crazy yellow state.

Of course you will hear little about this in the mainstream media.

The rise of wildfires around the globe coincide with radical changes in forestry management; it used to be loggers would come in and thin the forests, and people would gather the fallen deadwood. That practice changed with environmentalism, and the prevailing thinking for a couple of decades now was to have an "arboreal forest" in which all manner of clutter and debris laid strewn about. Of course, wildfires is the end result of this and drier areas like California or Australia burn as a result. Such fires are Nature's way of clearing out the old growth and debris. They are healthy things, except human beings don't like them much (which is why we do fire suppression.)

Of course, since the advent of Climate Change alarmism, these types of fires are used as "proof" the planet is warming, and the media beats that drum because the Ruling Class wants global warming as a tool for fundamental societal change.

But in fact a fool can see that if you have a lot of dry wood around it's a fire hazzard. It has nothing to do with the under 1 degree F. of planetary warming we have witnessed (most of which manifest as slightly warming nighttime temperatures), nor does it tie in with some mythical drought caused by global warming.

Warming is supposed to be caused by carbon dioxide moderately increasing planetary temperatures, leading to the evaporation of a lot of water into the atmosphere, which supposedly heats the planet (that alone is dubious as clouds can cool the planet just as easily) which then causes a positive feedback loop, eventually leading to the discharge of methane. But we do not witness this; there is no major increase in the planet's albedo (cloudiness) and IF this theory were correct it would mean MORE rain everywhere, not less. The idea that warming would cause drought is hard to defend.

But of course anything that advances the cause these days is promoted, no matter how unlikely. The media floods the zone, knowing that shallow thinkers will accept what they are peddling.

But here we see Newsome taking steps he should have taken when first entering office, and that because he knows exactly what has been causing forest fires. He wanted to do his part for the Cause as long as it didn't hurt him personally.

The Left is so very manipulative and does not shrink from hurting, even killing people. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet...
