“ Nearly 60 percent of the forests in California, 25 percent of the forests in Oregon, and 44 percent in Washington are national forests. For the most part, the forests burning across the West—the fires the president blames on state officials—are on federal lands.”

Just clarifying a simple fact the wingers certainly never heard on Fox

And guarantee by the middle of next week Trump, along with the First Lady in high heels, will be “touring” the States hit by Sally, took him a month to visit the west, pretty much ignored it during all that time, but he will waste no time getting the photo ops in the hurricane States
 
With all these wildfires in liberal states, they are the main cause of global warming and climate change. Liberals fucking up again...hehehehe....
 
The SOTC has the wildfire issues that they have because they do not properly manage their forests, they do not have adequate firebreaks and inroads, and they are weak on crime (such as arson).

The point being Trump is actually responsible for a large section of that which is burning and which he is also criticizing for not being maintained, I have no clue what the SOTC is nor how it relates to this point of the post
 
The Federal government has a program to clean California Forests forests. The state need to exert pressure on private land owners to clean their lands.

Fire on the Mountain: Rethinking Forest Management in the Sierra Nevada



In this report, the Commission calls for transformational culture change in its forest management practices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported in December 2017 that approximately 27 million trees had died statewide on federal, state and private lands since November 2016. The tally brought to 129 million the number of trees that have died in California forests during years of drought and bark beetle infestations since 2010.

During its review, the Commission found that California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement, resulting in overcrowding that leaves them susceptible to disease, insects and wildfire. The Commission found commitment to long-lasting forest management changes at the highest levels of government, but that support for those changes needs to spread down not just through the state’s massive bureaucracy and law- and policymaking apparatuses, but among the general public as well. Complicating the management problem is the fact that the State of California owns very few of the forests within its borders – most are owned by the federal government or private landowners.

Among the Commission’s nine recommendations, it urges the state to take a greater leadership role in collaborative forest management planning at the watershed level. The Good Neighbor Authority granted in the 2014 Farm Bill provides a mechanism for the state to conduct restoration activities on federal land, but state agencies must have the financial and personnel resources to perform this work. As part of this collaborative effort, it calls upon the state to use more prescribed fire to reinvigorate forests, inhibit firestorms and help protect air and water quality. Central to these efforts must be a statewide public education campaign to help Californians understand why healthy forests matter to them, and elicit buy-in for the much-needed forest treatments.

California needs to stop shirking its responsibilities. Even Governor Newsom admitted California needs to do a better job.

The number of forest fires have been going down in Canada. California has always had forest fires. It the managed the beetle kill they could help reduce the numbers of wild fires.

The fires on the West coast are the result of liberals doing dumb shit. Liberals are the main cause of climate change with these fires. Year after year. Can you folks get anything right?

I guess you didn't read the quote. The Feds have been cleaning the forests after years of neglect. The state needs to step up and have land owners manage their land.

Sorry to say Popeye, but you don't know what you're babbling about.
 
LOL, and it is not only that. He literally should know that a lot of this fire stuff is in red state country with the AG signs of tractors saying Farmers for Trump all over the damn place.
"Fed Up? Vote Republican" the signs scream. Anto vax signs. Etc It's TRump's turf that is burning, not the inner city.

He is shitting on his own peeps. :laugh:

Trump isn't too bright.

No. I do not watch Fox. It is consequential. The actions of liberals are doing more to add to climate change than anything man could do. Where is the outrage? Will you rise up Micabwer? Or just another bullshitter. No need to answer that.

California failed to do what needed to be done to manage those lands.
