Cal Firefighters To Trump: We Have Plenty Of Water. The Problem Is Climate Change.

California fire officials swung back at President Donald Trump after he tweeted over the weekend that the state’s devastating wildfires have been exacerbated by a water shortage resulting from “bad environmental laws.” Scott McLean, deputy chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, told HuffPost on Monday that his state has “plenty of water to fight these wildfires.” He noted the lakes near the Carr and Mendocino Complex fires. What’s driving these raging infernos, McLean said, is a crisis that Trump has in the past dismissed as “bull****” and a Chinese hoax. “It is our changing climate that is leading to more severe and destructive fires,” McLean said.

If they have so much water, why are they fining people for excessive water usage in CA?

LAWL.


Tell the people in California whose homes are burning that Al Gore is going to save them.

Tell them to quit putting out the small natural fires that burn underbrush and they would not have these huge fires.

How many controlled burns does CA do per year to handle underbrush?

Legitimate question.

[Dbones]

Yeah it's GW that is causing fires. LMAO.

It’s amazing that a state believes my car is going to creat giant snakes and boiling temperatures continues to stifle natural forrest burns by aggressively dumping water on what nature has been using to pervent massive burns for milenia so they can save a celebrity’s mansion. Yes, humans are responsible for these massive fires but not due to “global warming.” It’s due to California’s meddling with nature over the past many decades.

Hahaha, firefighters are now experts on climate change. They've amazingly cracked the code on something that a bunch of PhD scientists can't even come to an agreement on.

Side note: thanks for the laugh OP.

You seriously have to ask this question? They limit water usage so they HAVE water for emergencies like this. My god, it’s not rocket science.

How often do they perform controlled burns?
