Wildfire seasons are getting longer, more dangerous, and more expensive. We need to do more to #ActOnClimate.

Just not controlled burns to clear out underbrush, because agenda.

When did the Dems become the Monster Raving Looney Party? I would ask one question. Point to one action, undertaken by government, that can be directly correlated to making fire season shorter, less dangerous and less expansive. I would demand DIRECT, CORRELATED, CORROBORATED, SCIENTIFICALLY REPEATABLE proof that the action will cause the reaction they want. Absent that, they can piss up a rope.
Climate experts said a similar thing about hurricanes after the 2004/2005 season that they will be more frequent and stronger. Why no one calls them on it blows my mind.

Study: Are We Shifting to Fewer, Weaker Atlantic Hurricanes?
NBC Miami | September 7, 2015
A new but controversial study asks if an end is coming to the busy Atlantic hurricane seasons of recent decades. The Atlantic looks like it is entering in to a new quieter cycle of storm activity, like in the 1970s and 1980s, two prominent hurricane researchers wrote Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Global Warming Fueling Fewer But Stronger Hurricanes, Study Says
Washington Post | May 18, 2015
Warmer ocean temperatures appear to be fueling more intense hurricanes at the expense of the overall number of storms, says a new study published today in Nature Climate Change.
Over the past decade, studies have analyzed ad nauseam how warmer temperatures might be changing the annual number of hurricanes, or the maximum intensity.
But in practice, the connection between hurricanes and climate change has been a hard nut to crack because of an equally simple caveat — we just don’t have enough years of good historical data to predict how hurricanes intensity or frequency might change in our warming future.

Commonly known as “Sheepishly Moving the Goalposts” when the predictions of settled scientists fail to materialize.
It’s amusing that they say studies have analyzed “ad nauseam” how warmer temperatures “might be changing the annual number of hurricanes,” but hide the fact that all that nauseam (for thinking people) is because those studies all were based on flawed models, and were flat-out proven wrong in their predetermined conclusions — that the annual number of hurricanes should and would increase.
I stand corrected
“We need to do more to #ActOnClimate.”
Here’s a suggestion… Cover every last square hectare of California’s non-urban, non-agricultural landscape in lakes, without regard for supposedly endangered bait minnows or migrating spotted turtles. This would solve three problems:
1) Lakes don’t burn.
2) They provide a handy source of water for those things which DO burn.
3) Nobody can believably make the argument that California doesn’t need more water, in vast amounts.
If Obama still wants “shovel ready” projects, California should get started on the digging, pronto!
One could say you Havasulution!
Can’t be done, it makes sense.
