Borrowed from another poster -

"We" thought the government of California would open their  eyes, after 2018, when the "Camp Fire" caused 85 fatalities, displaced more than 50,000 people, and destroyed more than 18,000 structures, causing an estimated $16.5 billion in damage.
California politicians blamed "Climate change", as they cut funding for brush removal, and fire prevention methods.
*
"We" thought the politicians of California's one party government would open their eyes in 2020, when the "Creek Fire"burned 379,895 acres,Tens of thousands of residents in Fresno and Madera counties were forced to evacuate, and the fire also necessitated the helicopter rescue of hundreds of people.
Again, "climate change" was blamed, while ignoring budget cuts for fire mitigation/management budgets.
*
"We" thought eyes would have been opened with the "Rough Fire", that happened in 2015........before the two above mentioned fires. It burned 152,000 acres.......yep......"climate change" was blamed.
*
It gets "better".....or worse,  if you dive into the facts about California's radical policies regarding fire prevention...
2023 "City of San Diego fines family $53,367 for clearing brush in nature preserve behind home"............
*
I have not mentioned water yet.....it ran dry to fire hydrants, because politicians chose to dump trillions of gallons out to the ocean....to save the environment.
*
Fuel load does not happen, because of "climate change". It happens when management of the land is deemed illegal.
Water shortages don't happen because of "climate change". It happens when politicians dump water into the ocean, instead of supplying cities and rural communities.
*
This ongoing hell, started in Sacramento, and was  empowered  by the people, who vote for these insane policies, that are burning down, and destroying communities.........
