It's science not politics. We've been pumping CO2 into the atmosphere since the mid 1800s which has finally got to the point of tipping the climate out of equilibrium. Think how much pollution we've pumped into the atmosphere of the last 175 years or so and it's finally having a warming effect that will get warmer faster as it goes. There's lots of frozen methane in the melting permafrost ready to make it worse. What do you want to spend money on, trying to reduce greenhouse gasses or relocating all of the world's coastal cities to higher ground or trying to build sea walls around them? (or all 3?) Take your pick. Both are daunting tasks but folks now are concentrating on trying to fix the atmosphere (while planning for the others) which seems to me to be much cheaper, just reduce carbon emissions. It's a big long-term project, get on board. Amazingly enough Trump likes to lie about climate change. On the campaign trail, he said sea level rise is 1/8" in 400 years when it's 1/8"/year. That's a big lie but he doesn't tell little ones. Claim: “The ocean’s going to rise one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years … and you’ll have more oceanfront property, right?” Surely there's a special place in hell for leaders who lie about important sh*t like that.

Is that why Virginia and Ohio don't have multiple wildfires every year? Or are Virginia and Ohio (and the other 47 states) immune to climate change?

You are a sheep.

It's sad that Calif thinks a 3" **** of a fish is more important than the residents and the property of the state of Calif.
Quit falling for and repeating Trump lies, K? He's been telling this one for years.

It totally baffles me how nj can control fires in the pine barren by controlled burns and having them close to residents but California can't........global warming or gl9bal stupidity.

There are Communist and Anarchist that have done the same thing. Everyone else is caught in the middle of the insanity.






A Canadian conspiracy theorist who peddled falsehoods about his government starting Canada’s wildfires last summer to trick people into believing climate change is real has been found guilty of starting 14 fires.


Wildfire conspiracy theorist who blamed government for fires found guilty of starting 14​

Oh wow! Tons of misinformation and statements not based on scientific fact in your post. Not a good look for you spreading dangerous and false information.
