California Fire Dance
Al Moscowitz
Let me give you just one specific example of California "logic". There are dozens of examples, and NONE of them are traditional Republican stances. This example is pure liberal, left-wing nonsense.
The laws and ordinances against burning dead foliage (in the name of climate change mitigation) are almost solely responsible for the exacerbation of destruction from the wild fires in California in the last 20 years.
Controlled burns are the only defense for wildfire mitigation and those are all but gone in California - and why - because the fool-hearty have convinced everyone of the fallacious notion that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere are changing the climate. Then, if that isn't bad enough, they are also under another fallacious belief that ALL burning that releases CO2 into the atmosphere is a bad thing - including the burning of wood. Burning wood does NOT release CO2 that has been trapped for millions of years, but that is a topic for another day as, even if it did, it wouldn't matter.
Other than COVID-19 hypersensitivity and overreaction, human-caused climate change at it relates to the burning of fossil fuels will be looked upon as the greatest mass delusion in the history of mankind - that is if the idiots that believe it EVER wise up.
So, the increasing severity of the wildfires and associated destruction in California are a DIRECT result of nonsensical policies aimed at mitigating a problem that doesn't exist, and, by so doing, creating a VERY REAL problem today - and Gavin Newsom is the poster child for promulgating this nonsense.

It just goes to prove that you can't fix stupid.

Not burning deadwood leads to forest fires - it's nature's way of dealing with overgrowth in forests. The woodlands burn back and are the healthier for it. Nature doesn't care about our convenience.
So we have suppressed fires. That means it's up to us to do controlled burning and deadwood removal or nature will reassert herself. Going back to a state of nature means going back to uncontrolled fires. It's the reason why we did what we did in the first place.
