Wild Fires In LA

[Sadie]

I read the Santa Anna winds reached 80 MPH yesterday

Am sure the winds and lack of rain had more to do with the fires than DEI.

Very sad, fires are so terrifying. The amazing part is that so few people lose their lives.

It was a combination of the 2 previus years being wet which allowed for a lot of undergrowth, followed by this year's lack of rain and the strongest Santa Ana winds in a long time. Plus when the fire dept. budget was cut, prevention fell behind. Usually there is some effort to clear the underbrush to keep fires from getting out of control. Because there are fires every year and there are Santa Anas every year.

Where do you get your information? Dou ou just make $hit up?

Typical lack of a sense of humor on the left

This is not the first disaster where extreme environmentalists prevented sound and tested preventive measures from being applied that lessen the severity of disasters. I’m sure NPR et al will default to their predictable “blame climate change deniers” mantra which never fails to rally their moronic faithful.

Maybe our ghoul members will post a cartoon about it. Since they think this is so funny.

Nothing funny about it at all. I have no problem making fun of the leadership however.

The reason you quoted above is just a Fox talking point. There were a variety of reasons the budget was cut. In hindsight it was a really poor decision.

They had $400 million to install environmental improvements at the port and 4+ billion for welfare support for immigrants. Fire prevention isn't sexy, and what can mere humans do when the climate is at fault? Of course, I am being facetious but that is the go enor's reasoning.

You don’t own this bulletin board and I will post as often as I wish. I don’t need your permission to post. I’m considering placing you on my personal ignore list which includes Zoe, you two are similar in many ways.

Conservationists sue to stop feds from razing trees, burning land in two California parks

Three conservation groups say the ongoing project

www.courthousenews.com

FRESNO, Calif. (CN) — Three conservation groups sued the National Park Service in federal court on Monday over a plan to minimize wildfire damage by leveling trees and burning land in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.​

​

The project involves cutting more than 1,000 acres of timber with chainsaws, intended to thin the forest near remote, giant sequoia trees, thus protecting them from the damage of severe wildfires. In addition, the project calls for prescribed burning in over 20,000 acres, much of the land within designated wilderness areas.​

​

It's science. Sequoia trees do not sprout until fire opens the cones. But big fires burn up the cones. The NPS was trying to restore balance to nature.

Everyone should just stop the political rhetoric in this thread. Donate 10 bucks to the American Red Cross for the Los Angeles fires. We here in California do the same for Floridians when they're getting slammed by hurricanes or when Louisiana is underwater by floods.... it's just the right thing to do.
