Trump blames California wildfires on environmental protection laws.

Anybody want to defend this stupidity?

If so, I got my popcorn ready.

If the dont try to defend, they'll just deflect with some "but obamas".

Im gonna miss that guy when hes gone, funniest politician/troll of all time. Dont forget to turn the lights off Donald.

That'd be a new one.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Not sure what it would do for the fires but Cali is doing some retarded shit with their water all the same.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading!

Fact: Most trees are blue

Retarded shit like what? Conservation to prevent all of the reservoirs from running dry after years of drought?

Oh and I'm sure those droughts are in no way related to a certain Chinese hoax that will remain unnamed.

No trees, no forest fires



No forest fires, no carbon dioxide fueling global warming

Checkmate Liberals! #MAGA

He thinks they're......dumping fresh water into the Pacific?


JFC, he's so fucking stupid.

 

[Kindacrazy]

So does anyone actually know what hes referring to? Usually when he says something like this, right or wrong, hes referring to some actual program or behavior.

I honesty don't know. If I did, I would have provided a source to debunk it.

I'm only aware of government mandated conservation efforts during dry spells so that they don't exhaust the aquifers and reservoirs. California is more concerned with saving fresh water than throwing it away.

Does he not think that rivers and streams should be allowed to flow into the ocean? Is that a thing that right wingers against now?

The heat friction from all that no lube bareback caused them?

And 10 dudes a day? Saying someone has that sexual stamina is a compliment.

Wouldn't a rectum just rot out from all of that action?

If not, Obama missed his true calling as a power bottom in gay porn.

Great, now Captain Fuckface thinks he's a firefighter. Vroom vroom, make the lights go, yay I want the hose.

You mean something he heard (and probably misheard) on Fox ‘n Friends.

I’m just sayin, if I was there, I sure a heck wouldn’t have run away from the fire.

That’s all.

And I probably would have kicked the fire’s ass.

That’s all I’m saying.

I don't even know what he's talking about with the water diversion comment. I am simply dumbfounded. My best guess is that he is referring to a water loss issue that is a result of the wildfires.

The Sierra Nevada range is the headwaters for 60 percent of California’s developed water supply. Burned, denuded hillsides don’t store water efficiently when it rains. Sediment cascades downhill, filling streams, affecting water quality and loading up reservoirs, reducing their storage capacity

As far as controlled burns...what are our strict environmental protections preventing it? The real issue is we need more budgeting, and we need to tell people what we're doing. The US Forest Service is a federal department. As for our State Department within that bureau?
California fights wildfires aggressively—but prevention takes a back seat

The mosaic of land ownership in California means the state owns only 2 percent of the forests but has legal responsibility over much more: 31 million acres, including land in rural counties.

Cal Fire received more than $200 million for forest health projects last year and has proposed an additional $160 million for the next fiscal year. Those sums are on top of the agency’s current $2.7 billion budget. Cal Fire, in turn, doles out millions of those dollars in grants to local governments and community groups to do some thinning themselves, and it teams with the federal Forest Service to tackle clearing projects....

The carbon equation is equally direct: When trees burn or decay, they release greenhouse gases. The 2013 Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park produced emissions equal to those of 2.3 million cars in a year.

Prescribed burns emit less carbon than higher-intensity fires, because managed fire is aimed at smaller trees and shrubs. Cleared forest land may still ignite, but it will burn with less intensity and fewer emissions.

Moreover, when trees die, they stop absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. The state depends on that critical service to help reduce greenhouse gases. Research suggests that severely burned areas regrow with shrubs or grasses, plants that store about 10 percent less carbon than trees do.

John Moorlach, a Republican state senator from Costa Mesa, suggests the Democratic governor, a champion of the fight against climate change, has a “gigantic blind spot” when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. Moorlach said in an interview that Brown’s emphasis on electric cars, for example, ignores the role of fire in California’s greenhouse gas inventory.

“We’re being absolute phonies about climate change if we are not dealing with the real driver of greenhouse gas; that’s these wildfires,” said Moorlach. He has proposed that the state dedicate 25 percent of the revenue from its cap and trade grreenhouse-gas-reduction system to help counties’ fire mitigation efforts.

Counties would welcome the help. Randy Hanvelt, a supervisor in Tuolumne County, said that where forest management is concerned, there’s a “leadership problem.”

“Talk is cheap,” he said. “We have got ourselves a giant colossal mess. This is a war of sorts. Time is against us. Every available tool has to be applied.”


One such tool is carefully designed burns. But the meticulous planning necessary can take two to three years, and the burns require favorable weather, a permit from the local air district and, crucially, buy-in from local communities that must first be educated about the benefits. And controlled doesn’t mean risk-free.

“Politically, you have to have the ability to make mistakes and move on,” he said.

Nick Bunch, who plans thinning projects for the Plumas National Forest, pointed to a partly cleared hillside outside of Quincy where one of his extensively planned prescribed burns went awry, undone by a shift in the wind.

“We were about an hour into the burn and the smoke started going into town,” Bunch said, shaking his head at the memory. Even though the burn was going as planned, the smoke was not acceptable to nearby residents, who protested to fire officials. “Phones started ringing. Calls were made, and we shut it down.”

Another method is used in Florida, which trains and certifies private property owners to burn their overgrown land and provides limited liability coverage in some cases. Florida cleared 2.1 million acres this way last year. Scott Stephens, who heads a wildland fire research lab at the University of California, Berkeley, said the widespread adoption of the policy has educated residents on both its benefits and risks.

Yeah, I've never heard of environmentalists protesting controlled burns and counter fires. They're strategies to prevent even more damage.


...and the lack of funding is why they've literally been using slave prison labor to fight the fires for the last few years.

Ya, sounds very Trump.

That is fucked up.

In Africa, they have traditionally had a very effective historical method of brush clearing in concentric circles. I don't know why we never adopted the method here.
