She believes in man caused climate change, but read the book since it covers "natural climate" change over the past 10,000 years in California.


Hey....who can be more politically correct than a woman professor at UC Berkeley!!!

The words "no risk for people" and "Monsanto" in the same post..............Hmmmmmm

She is wrong. Man is contributing to it, not causing it.

"Growing evidence," but no studies are quoted. And the abstract is from 2007; in the past decade, we've broken records for some of the hottest years recorded.

Scientific links? These are anti-scientific publications.

Junk Science? What is “junk science”?

Junk science is faulty scientific data and analysis used to advance special interests and hidden agendas.


https://junkscience.com/about/

Overview :"Junkman" Steven Milloy has made a career of lobbying for polluting industries, heading corporate front groups to deny environmental concerns, and ridiculing individual environmentalists on behalf of corporate interests. In the world according to Milloy, any scientific study that does not support the world view where all chemicals are safe is "junk science"...

I know how libraries work but I am not going to look for this book in the library. What you claimed is in the book does not appear anywhere in your link, so why don't you go to the library check the book out and take a picture of the page with the text your quoted?

If you can't prevent you can build accordingly...

Sometime building requirements are you biggest obstacle...

One upscale community required split heavy shake roofs... after the Oakland Firestorm they had to revisit that.

Thing is my friend got no where fighting it and 9 months before the fire paid the money for the new Shake Roof...


Also being able to properly clear without threat of fines could go a long way... the Angora Fire in Tahoe changed a lot of thinking along this line...

Too bad it often takes tragedy to act.

The Western United States is burning. Last month Oregon and Washington lived through an unbearable 117 degrees — an all-time high for the region, which averages around 62 degrees this time of year. California is seeing the worst fires on record.

This isn’t a fluke. This is a data point in our new normal: Hot days and short rainy seasons turn our lush greenery and vibrant woods into kindling.

This also isn’t a mystery. We are still powering our country with the fuels that brought us to the brink of disaster.

Hoping for the U.S. to continue its dependency on oil, natural gas and coal, fossil fuel lobbyists are drawing from the same playbook Big Tobacco used to push cigarettes to kids, and that playbook of deception was recently revealed by Exxon Mobil’s top lobbyist.
