Still doesn't explain why the reservoirs were empty.

One was empty do to maintenance.  It's inopportune, but it's an unavoidable part of maintaining a resevoir.

Yes, it literally does.

... fire equipment failures abound for lack of maintenance...

Equipment failures have not been mentioned as having a bearing on the firefight.  You made that up.

It doesn't explain why millions of gallons of water got dumped into the Pacific for the sake of a smelt, instead of being properly stored for inevitable fire.

The Sacramento River / San Joaquin River Delta is 400 miles from Los Angeles.  Also, the City of Los Angeles gets the vast majority of its water from the Owens Valley / Los Angeles Aqueduct.  Not relevant.

Nice how you cut my comment short.

Do you even know what "controlled" means?  If the fire starts spreading too fast, douse it.

Fine, I'll set fire to the weeds in your yard and we'll see how fast you can put it out.  Stupid fucking cunt.

It's relevant because the millions of gallons wasted could have instead been stored.... for... FIGHTING FIRES!

You said earlier that there's "global effort" to stomp this out.  This contradicts that.

No it doesn’t it’s the opposite. it speaks of the Montreal Protocol and the article I posted speaks of that and the UN so yes it was a global effort. Just because not every nation agreed doesn’t negate a global effort

Sources of internal business documents that just magically appear in university faculty rooms and newspaper editors desks?

Leakers.

People within who opposed what Exxon was doing.

Why do you trust Exxon? What do you use your brain for? I'm stunned you can type words on a keyboard because holy fuck you're utterly opposed to putting a microsecond of thoight into anything.

It's not global when only a few nations are participating.

I think they're technically called "whistleblowers"

Disgruntled former employees with an axe to grind?  Or, any of those mysterious "anonymous sources"?

I'm guessing a few creative writers within the newspapers, as well.

She's on fire.  The stupid is coming off her fingers with a relentless energy.

She’s in here talking about “if it’s just a few countries it’s not global” it’s 197 fuckin countries. I told you. She does this shit on purpose

197 countries signed a document... and then, most ignored it, most likely.

They're not handing the information out to everyone who asks.

Whistleblowers don't usually ask for information, they take it.  And, since they're actual Exxon employees, they probably don't need to ask to see information they're already seeing.

98% comply but I’m officially done with you because you’re boring now.  You talk out of your ass. Provide little to no evidence to support your claims and the few things of evidence you do post, don’t prove what you claim. 9 out of 10 it disproves you. Anything shown to you that proves contrary to your beliefs you just dismiss. You are a troll.  Your entertainment value is done.
