How Misguided Environmentalism Is To Blame For California's Wildfires
Do you think every state does the harvesting of trees...no. And yet, they don't have these fires. But these states get rain which Cali rarely gets. This is why they have fake grass.

Default Finns laughing how Trump wants to "Rake America Great Again!"

So he comes to California and dribbles out such turd nuggets from his lying diarrhea mouth as:


"I want a great climate." ... yeah, which no doubt comes from denying climate change and working hard to eradicate every environmental protection to date in favor of big business.


"I was with the president of Finland, and he said: 'We have a much different [sic]..., we're a forest nation.' And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem,"


Finland: "what the hell??"

They're quite amused. Finnish President has no idea what the hell Trump is talking about. And stable genius Trump left out that Finland is a much colder climate country with a crapload of water, not a major drought. Might make a difference, ya think?

Another example of how our President is an I D I O T. He just dribbles nonsense out of his pie hole about any topic way over his head and thinks he's impressing everyone, happy as a clam with his utter ignorance.

As usual, Trump understands the issue more than the “experts”.

The forested areas in California need to be cleaned out (cutting down the trees and raking out the undergrowth) and then burnt on a regular basis. Massive forest fires occurred naturally for millions of years, both in America and in Finland.

Unfortunately, the lknow-it-all liberal tree huggers think that forests are supposed to remain unharmed for millions of years, so they have allowed undergrowth to accumulate under trees that coukd have been harvested for lumber.

You know nothing about forest management with the comments you made.

First of all, a mature forest has little or no understory, and frankly, about the only critters you'll see there are squirrels, bugs and some birds. An understory is never used for timber, where in the heck did you get that perspective from?

Most conservationists understand the need for periodic fire, including those on the left. What makes you think they would not? Now, if you do a bit about forest management, tell me the best practice of harvesting, and why it is.

If you don't know, that's OK, but don't make comment that are either wrong or very incomplete. BTW, this IS my lane, just in case you want to walk down that road.

Last I looked, you don't have a massive drought in your state, either. THAT'S the major difference.



What do Trumpers not understand about the concept that when there is drought, it gets really dry, and when it gets really dry, then the forests catch on fire? Idiot Trump is comparing CA to Finland in how they don't have this, when Finland is a nordic country with a TON of water and no drought?? Do you people have any freaking brains in your heads?



Sure, CA can do better with forest management and will need to given the climate change that you deny. But to ignore what is happening with the drought over here suggest that we can just "rake the forests" or whatever he said and that will fix it is just stupid.
