Wind, drought, climate change, urban interface with idiots building in chaparral country without protection, it’s only, as Governor Brown pointed out, only going to get worse.
And the resident says its caused by mismanagement, as if we could flip a switch and all would be well. The idea that the bark beetle has created unprecedented fuel is just one result of climate change he ignores via his self imposed ignorance.
The unfortunate reality is that nature will always win in the end.. With luck.. the shelter you built with sweat and tears will last your lifetime.. but. Floods.. Earthquakes.. Fire.. Time.. all conspire to take it away.
Thanks to man made pollution and the changes we’ve made to the globe these events are happening more and more around our country and the globe. Every time we put a regressive in charge, it makes it worse for everyone – except for a quarter or two of gains for a few select corporations.
But But Trump says that California government officials ( Read Dems ) are to blame. Didn’t you read your talking points this morning? Did Sheldon Adelson approve today’s work?

Could the hot air coming from POTUS be adding to the trouble?

A major factor is the lack of proper forest management at state and federal level.
