Newsom has failed us. He should have began major forestry management right as he was blaming PG&E last year. He dropped the ball and has blood on his hands this year. Get your act together Newsom and straighten out the states forests instead of blaming others.
No, no, no JG; this IS climate change and the only way to stop these fires is by paying more taxes.
Oh, Patty I’m sorry I missed the climate change part. My bad. So there will be no fires when there are no cars, planes, trains, cows farting, and no cheese. Got it. Thanks. I still don’t understand why it’s only California that has the climate/fire problem. They have hamburgers in all the other states.
