"According to California's governor, Gavin Newsom, global warming did the big fires raving his state, as well as its two ideological sidekicks, Washington and Oregon:
"The debate is over around climate change," Newsom said as he toured a burn area in Northern California. "Just come to the state of California. Observe it with your own eyes. It’s not an intellectual debate. It’s not even debatable any longer."He also said he's "exhausted that we have to continue to bait this issue.""This is a climate damn emergency," he said. "This is real."
So don't blame him.
But there's every reason to blame him and his greenie policies that are quite literally fueling the destruction.
Since the entire press searchable on Google repeats the global warming blather, I decided to consult some real science and got quite a different picture, and not a flattering one to Newsom.
According to the Cal State University fire scientists, whose website indicates they are the only ones studying this, the number one reason for the increased incidence of California's fires is:
1. FOREST “FUEL LOADS” ARE HIGH.
The forest floor grows dense with flammable dead branches and brush when it’s not cleared out, either manually or when burned. In many parts of California’s wildlands, these forest "fuels" have not burned or been cleared for decades, due in part to fire suppression policies by state and federal agencies."One of the reasons we're observing more fires is because of 100 years of poor Forest Service policy where we didn't allow prescribed fire or wildfires to burn," says Craig Clements, Ph.D., director of the San José State University's Fire Weather Research Laboratory and associate professor of meteorology and climate science...Read all.
