Don’t Blame Global Warming For Killer Wildfires

Other bad government policies have helped to make wildfires more dangerous and destructive.

They include allowing housing developments in high risk areas and environmental laws that prevent people from clearing the brush and trees around their homes.

The state of California’s FAIR Plan that provides last-resort fire insurance to homes built in high-risk areas doesn’t help, either.

AOC, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and their frontman Joe Biden promise if they depose Donald Trump on Nov. 3 they’re going to pass the Green New Deal, rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, save the planet and bring an end to things like California wildfires.

But there’s a question the greenies never want us to ask: If we do everything you want us to do to cool down the planet, how much cooler will it be in 20 or 30 years?

The answer is something like .002 percent.

Despite their big promises, even if we eliminate all cars and all fossil fuels and start living in caves again, LA’s future will still include 113-degree days, smog, droughts and killer wildfires.

So reversing global warming is not going to stop California’s fire season, just as electing Joe Biden won’t cure COVID-19.
