That's right commies! You have to clear dead wood! Lumber industry, land managment and human use of water is NOT a bad thing!
Adopting more active forest management policies such as increased thinning of trees and conducting controlled burns will help mitigate damage from future wildfires, the Los Angeles Times editorial board writes.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke began advocating similar policy prescriptions earlier in 2018 after President Donald Trump blamed California’s “bad environmental laws” for creating a wildfire-prone environment.
California forests have grown drier and less healthy from overcrowded trees, infestations of bark beetles and the effects of climate change, the LA Times writes. California’s restrictions on active forest management have contributed to the poor and worsening conditions of the forests, allowing them to grow uninhibited while suppressing fires that would normally naturally control the forests’ growth.
“Fire is not necessarily bad for forests. California used to burn with regularity, and low-intensity fires are vital in some ecosystems to clear excess brush and small trees from the landscape,” the editorial board writes. “But there’s been a change in fire behavior over the last century, as the state and federal government began dousing the blazes. Decades of fire suppression have allowed forests to grow dense with trees.”
“Combined with drought, insect infestations and the stress of a warming climate, those management practices have led to more intense and destructive fires that are more dangerous to people living near the forests and more damaging to air quality,” the op-ed continues.
California’s environmental laws entered the national spotlight in early August when Trump blamed them for the severity of the wildfires that were ravaging the state.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was soon at the front of the administration’s push for California to begin adopting more active land management policies. Zinke traveled to California to see the damage from the fires and meet with local officials and firefighters Aug. 13.
Zinke ramped up calls for greater forest thinning while also dismissing the idea that climate change is playing a significant factor in the wildfires’ intensity.
California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown partnered with state lawmakers to introduce changes to the state’s policies. The bill would grant $1 billion toward forest thinning and ease regulations on cutting trees on private property, according to the LA Times.
A lot of people, not just Trump, were pointing this out during the first and second fires that spread throughout CA. So it isn't all about 'Trump was right'. Land management is key to avoid massive fires during really hot climates. All it takes is one spark around a bunch of dead wood in a desolated area and poof, you got a fire potentially spinning out of control.

Anyone with rural history with fire breaks knew this for a long time. Cali banned and fought against any small fires, that let dead material build up which lead to massive uncontrollable fires.
Nathan Thompson
It doesn't really matter if other people knows about it, Trump utilized his media presence to influence and deprogram Californians, something Californians really needs

Cali also has a huge invasive grass problem that all die during the dry months. They also fenced and blocked off migration routes so animals can't graze on large portions of land because they're obviously the problem about water or someshit. Once again shitskins and mulattos show how inept they are. They want to turn all of cali into the shithole desert they fled from after ruining that also.
It would also help to stop running to put out all the little fires that do wonders at keeping the growth from getting to the point where you have no hopes of containing it when it finally does catch.

"We need to clear-cut the forests so jewish real estate developers can build more mcmansions"
When you don't let natural burning occur in a dry valley for decades, eventually the buildup leads to a mega fire like there is now. This is just the result of never letting natural burning occur. People act like natural forest fires never occurred and cleared land. This is the same bull shit as last year when everyone is shocked Houston flooded when it's a floodplain. No matter what eventually there's a disaster too big to control.
Jose Roberts
protip: you can't

Eagle Creek is another example of poor land management. Had natural burns been allowed to occur for the past 50 years, that fire would have not been as bad.
I know that the USFS specifically prevents forest fires up north to protect the land value so the US government can use it as collateral, but I'm unsure who does the same in California.
Those invasive grasses are grazing lands, which have a higher land value than desert. Higher value land means more collateral. or taxes for those georgism faggots
What we are seeing in the PNW, and now Cali are the long-term effects of jews shilling financial decisions as environmentalism. The same goes for the regular brown and blackouts that happen on the East Coast and Cali.

there is only one consensus here plebbitnigger. gas the kikes

this is awesome.

While your quoted text is right, Tump's tweet is dumb as hell and based on Republican farmer welfare queens demanding free water so they can flush more nutrients downhill.
California fruit already tastes like fucking cardboard due to their retarded wash-everything-down-and-replace-it-with-low-sulfer-rock-oil farming practices.
Also, preventing water form reaching the ocean has fuck all to do with the water table. You can't use more water than you're allotted regardless where the hell its coming from. The farmers want to dam every fucking rivulet because they don't want to admit they're in a fucking desert and that the good days of tasty near-free fruit are long-ass-fucking-gone
They wouldn't be if the state government built a desalination plant every few years since the 80's. Had commiefornia stayed white they would have an excess of bright minds which they could use in designing revolutionary nuclear plants. Another financial decision shilled as environmentalism by the kikes.
ausfag here we get even worse fires. So you cunts are telling me the cummycuckians didnt even controlled back burn make fire trails or EVEN bother to burn waste decomp? Lol they deserve to burn then dumb fucks
Angel Ward
Hey hows it going in Strayla'? It should be pretty sunny down right now there since its dark as fuck up here.
Colton Gutierrez
pff, there is no dead wood left in the Pacific SW. They're burning the fires on purpose. It's a billion $ industryfor the fire dep… = OVERTIME . The trees are almost all baby trees now because they've been burning everything down since the 1970s. That's a pretty stupid fucking post.
Nice Cigar, (((Freud))). It is written exactly as intended. You got spray tanned cock in your mouth.
Eli Perry
The Californians love their Aussie eucalyptus old growth forests to death.
Owen Foster
Tropical rain season cloudy as fuq
Let em burn then
Juan Morris
All of California should be burned to the ground, and the entire state should become a designated lawless zone where White youths are sent to gain military skills killing shitskins
Leo Russell
Hitler was not only a Zionist but also a Jew, just like his whole cabinet. The purposefully infiltrated German politics, destroyed Germany, let millions of Germans die on various fronts. He didn't commit suicide in Berlin, nor did he flee to Argentina he lived out his days in Israel, Tel Aviv.
Also everyone who is white and takes the side of white people or any given European is by default a Zionist Jew.
i'm very suspicious of this shit, the water thing sounds ok, but the back burning shit imho has the potential to turn into a scam where to save a few houses every now and then entire cities are covered in shit smoke for days in a week, and then the next week AGAIN.
Sydney gets fucked over all the time with this shit.
Samuel Flores
More like apocalyptus trees.
Lincoln Morris
No, Trump, stop. The seasonal commie infernos are the only good part of the People's Republic of California.
Hunter Long
I got evacuated out of Custer State Park because it caught on fire when I was a kid. They weren't able to contain it and it was pretty severe. Afterward they said it was so bad because of the "Smokie the Bear" anti-forest-fire propaganda. Apparently it turns out keep ``decades`` worth of unburnt fuel on the forest floor makes for spectacular and uncontrollable fires.
Jace Clark
What is up with all these newfags? Y'all niggas don't even know about ironic shitpostan.
Justin Hughes
if you read southern cali history in the fall ranchers would light the forest ablaze and let them burn for months to make way for fresh spring grazing from colton california all the way up into the san bernidino mtns. the ecosystem is specifically designed to burn as part of it's natural life cycle. the only difference today (((in modern times))) is the density of populations, and residential structures.

Imagine:
It's exactly what Gaddafi was doing before he got Arkancided
I thought tree clearing was common sense world wide.
Eli Torres
What else can be expected of a folk bred from Saxon, Dane, and Norman? They need the oven as much as the kikes, after all, they are like peas in a pod.
Amnesty don will sign that shit during his second term. Now its "if you dont vote for me the economy will implode and they'll impeach me!" Good, let these shitlibs destroy this fake economy, that way everything can be blamed on their retarded ideology.
Caleb Long
California Corrections gets in on this as well, they have fire crews staffed by convicts cleared for service outside prison. They make BANK! getting over 150 an hour for services per con + equipment from CalFire and they pay less than 5 to the cons, the rest goes to the CDC (Commiefornia Dept of Corrections[to your wallet,not crime]) These guys could be cutting trees instead for far cheaper and let the loggers take it out.
However somehow this isn't a wakeup call to anyone nothing will be. Mean while CARB literally cut down multiple acres of citrus orchards to build a new Southern Headquarters in Riverside.
Sebastian Powell
All leftism is like this. It's a complete denial of how things are and work, how they should be and how they can be. It's interesting to see how people can be tied to such a system.
Jeremiah Bell
The only controlled burning that could have prevented this catastrophe is witch burning.
