    1. Maybe the Governor should hire contractors to cut all the trees on power line tracks, this has been going on so long that everything could have been done by now, charge the power company for the cost and see how much money you can get back. Getting elected by demonizing and suing the power company is not working, regardless of the reasons they are not getting the job done.

    1. @Boofer T. Washington Trump wasn’t referring to cleaning up the underbrush.. The goof actually thought the Fins raked their forest to prevent forest fires… that is the level of ‘genius’ of your moron, I mean…commander in chief.

    2. Boofer : This is why the whole crowd BOOED Trump at the World Series, yesterday. Like him, Trump Tramps just DON’T GET IT 😁

  1. Climate change is a hoax – Boomers
    The world is literally on fire – Millenials/genX-Z
    but it’s cold outside – Boomers

    1. @darm Marm And they have been spraying the atmosphere since the late 90’s. Terraforming the atmosphere. It’s what has stopped the rain there in California.

    2. Si ms : Did you see the whole crowd BOOING Trump at the World Series? Shouting, “Lock Him Up!” That’s because of people like YOU, that is. 😁

  2. It’s really Windy. I’m catching a cold or Allergies from all the trees. It’s feel like SPRING AGAIN.

    1. it was always burning, since the world was turning…

      but seriously… this is bad! I imagine it’s near impossible to pinpoint a specific starting point. With Nestle pumping all the water out of the ground to sell at big profits, to climate change causing droughts, and heatwaves drying up the forests and everything else…. this is the new reality. But, it’s no good for anyone to just have people commenting on climate change being the problem …. the media REALLY needs to be linking these events to climate change and make a big deal over it… otherwise people won’t be thinking about it too much 🙁

  3. Things they said 40 years ago….We would be living through a new Ice Age by the year 2000.We would all die when the ozone layer disappeared.The oceans would be dead.Global Cooling would destroy the world.Acid rain would destroy our forests.Overpopulation would result in worldwide famine.We would deplete our natural resources.We would run out of oil.The polar ice caps would melt.Manhattan would be underwater.People who live in cities will have to wear gas masks.Nitrogen buildup will make the land unusable.“Decaying organic pollutants would use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.”

    1. Not fourty years ago. That was late 1800s and early 1900s. It was in the late 1960s that knowledge of global warming turned into mild panic after we landed on Venus, which melts iron with its CO2 atmosphere, but in the 1940s is was confirmed that we’re warming the planet rather than colling it. That might be the source of your confusion, thinking 1940s was 40 years ago. But it is true that in the 1800s, people were worried that human agriculture was sucking up so much CO2 that it could cause an ice-age. People back then had absolutely no idea how much CO2 we put out.

  4. Nature does this to clear up the old foliage…. We put them out thereby making it a yearly event….. Either rake the forest or let the fires burn….. easy- peasy.

  5. If California had listened to Trump the forest would have been thoroughly raked and this would not be happening!

  6. If it makes folks in California feel any better…t’rump got his a$$ booed along with “lock him up” chants tonight at the World Series. 😆

  7. Wow these fires are getting way out of control. The nearby states need to send their fire teams in. Prayers to.the state and all effected by this.

  8. Is this why everyone BOOED Trump at the World Series? Because the country is burning, and he doesn’t care? . . .
