  1. I did screenshot that, too. Because when I repost the same picture two years from now, you won't be able to identify anything in it.
  2. I'm not shifting anything and your photos aren't showing enough detail. The wooded areas in question don't have to in the immediate vicinity of the suburb. The embers and fly ashes could travel as far as eight miles.
  3. That's not a map. It's a cropped photo and it's too blurry and pixelated to show where any trees or brush might be.
  4. So, you don't know how embers and fly ashes work.
  5. https://nypost.com/2025/01/09/us-news/bass-newsom-ignored-past-warnings-about-la-wildfires/ It'll grow back, if left unattended.
  6. Try disproving it, then. Show me where and how the fires had actually started in the burbs.
  7. Again... the fires started in poorly manged, overgrown wooded areas and were carried to the suburbs by embers and fly ashes.
  8. The fires started in overgrown, poorly managed wooded areas and were carried by embers and fly ashes to the suburbs.
  9. Where does climate change fit into a lack of preparation or prevention in these fires?
  10. It was in the woods and after the fires started, the resulting embers and fly ashes ignited the suburbs.
  11. No, we're talking about why the kindling hadn't been cleared, why tens of millions of dollars for ttraining, staffing and equipment for fire fighting have been cut off the budget and why the reservoirs were empty. The winds were just simply doing what they had always done.
  12. Well, they didn't and the state wasn't prepared for that.
  13. Now, let's talk about prevention. Why wasn't the kindling cleared out? Why were the reservoirs drained? Why were tens of millions of dollars for training, staffing and equipment for fire fighting cut off the budget?
  14. Doesn't matter where they came from. They're not new at all and none of our cabon emissions have changed them one way or the other.
  15. The Santa Ana winds are nothing new. It's not climate change. They have been a prevailing pattern for thousands of years. The fires could have been prevented by clearing out the underbrush (the stuff that kindled the fires)
  16. Climate change had nothing to do with any of it. It's about cutting millions dollars off the fire department, the non functional hydrants and not having had the underbrush cleared out.
  17. The California wild fires are the direct result of government incompetence and corruption.
