I swear to God some of you are still drunk from NYE and the snow days.[/quote]

This reminds me of a few years back, when Trump (then Prez) blamed the people of CA for all of the destruction that the wildfires caused.

He actually said it was the residents of CA’s fault that there were so many wildfires!! 🤦🏼
He claimed that CA residents were not keeping their “floors”/grounds swept + raked properly (like the folks in Greenland did!) and he even spoke of withholding emergency monies because of it!
Of course - it was all part of his power trip (the guys LOVES power + control!)

Personally he was just butt hurt that CA didn’t vote for him.
But to the PP &gt;&gt; how can you say such an insensitive remark when so many people lose their lives & homes??[/quote]

Calm down. What Trump said actually is correct. The fires aren't just because of global warming, there have always been wildfires in California due to the dry nature of the region combined with the wind patterns. It's that there are now so many people living in high fire risk areas. As other posters have already pointed out, you have to take proactive steps with the vegetations around your properties. If you don't you put yourself at a higher risk for fire. Although there are definitely times when there's nothing you can do. [/quote]

There have always been fires, but the scale and frequency are new. There used to be a wet season (now) and a fire season: now it's fire season year round. That is climate change. [/quote]

Which means what Trump says is still on the right side. People have to take much stricture measures to try to control the fires through landscaping and vegetation. As for scale and frequency, there were devastating wildfires in the 80s even before global warming was a thing. It's that the population is much bigger and therefore many more people affected, and suburban sprawl gets in the way of a natural wildfire with unpleasant results. [/quote]

I'm not interested in Trump but please understand people already cut vegetation back from their houses. Because our home insurance requires it. It's a basic safety step already taken, and pretending it's a new solution is ignorant.

I forget who mentioned forests but there are not "forests" in the traditional sense. By vegetation you mean grass, shrubs, some eucalyptus stands (get rid of these, I agree) and a few real trees here and there.

The idea all these fires were happening before, but it was fine because people didn't live here, is simply not true. I don't know what else to tell you except that it's factually false. [/quote]
