cutting 2% of the budget and then adding money so its 7% larger than last year is not "slashing" anything.

I pointed out in the actual budget PDF's where you are incorrect. Best pack that talking point away, its a misrepresentation.

Just found out Newsom and the CA State Legislature don't count emissions from wildfires when determining if they reached their arbitrary climate change goals.

LOL Science

Claims about a billionaire couple hurting efforts to fight the LA fires via their control' of the water supply are false

one employee did that and got fired. its on pbs. one.

Mayor Bass couldn't legally declare an emergency while out of the State, which would have initiated the Federal response.
The Deputy Mayor was on administrative leave for calling in a fake bomb threat to the city council.
He was charged with overseeing the fire department and emergency management by Karen Bass.

Either from what I read he legally couldn't declare a state of emergency, or didn't know how.

Some how, one was finally declared on Tuesday. she arrived in LA Wednesday.

He didn't do this for other fires ...

So ... here's a fix for you...

Imagine that, the Governor of California acting to help his donors affected by this disaster.
Not really a surprise to me.

Finally I look for this order to go to court.

While every other president in my life time, and I'd wager everyone's lifetime, has tried their best to bring Americans together during times of crisis and tragedy.

As a new comer, I have never seen this.

IMO this is how change happens, being critical. Otherwise it gets buried in reports/investigations.

AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

Are you going to pretend anyone knew such a catastrophe would occur.

LOL

Scientist told Mayor Bass there was a high potential of a fire.

Trump said this would happen after he came out to CA to see the devastation from a previous fire.

IOW plenty of people knew such a catastrophe would occur, but migrants were 10x more important.

So you're gonna pretend it's all equal?

Only so we continue posting so he makes his troll dollars.

Dodge the question much?

Google earth much.

There is no sea wall, its an estuary protected by a sand dune, between it and the sea.

Obama is being called out because Obama haters think by pointing out he's living in a costal community, it negates the threat of climate change.

No ... Just refuting an argument DonnerBot made....

Because maybe they want to protect the investments they made in their coastal properties?
Naw. That can't be it.

Obama came up because he had no "investments" in coastal properties, then bought a very expensive, and vulnerable piece of property.

If CC is true, and only Lumpers care about it, why would he do that?

#120 this has been brought up by me and ignored by you on previous threads.

Why doesn't California mitigate these ?

Maybe the better question is, why does that property look to have a substantial seawall protecting it?
#119 | Posted by LampLighter

It's not, it's an estuary.

What else does your alias have?

OMG a politician is fund raising for a disaster. Stop the internet, gracie needs to get off.

The issue is he used his governor account.

Because maybe they want to protect the investments they made in their coastal properties?
Naw. That can't be it.
#84 | Posted by donnerboy

Then why did the Obama's buy coastal property?

Seems, given your logic they are exposing themselves to a loss.

About what I expect from Florida.

California is going to do the same thing with these fires.

Sad the government doesn't seem to care about it's citizens.

Oh yeah I have my own substack that cancels you substack

To folks with degrees and some who have spent their entire careers in wildfire and forest management.

Even they claim regulatory burden is why wildfires are out of control.

CO2 emission of US.

2022: 4,853,780,240 tons, which was 13.39% of the world's CO2 emissions
2021: 4,768,873,440 tons, which was 13.15% of the world's CO2 emissions
2020: 4,466,731,420 tons, which was 12.32% of the world's CO2 emissions
2019: 4,966,970,260 tons, which was 13.70% of the world's CO2 emissions

Nothing has changed.

I thought we wanted to TrumpProof california?

Now Newsom is inviting him?

Seems strange.

Biden also was working on the underlying cause which is extreme climate change.

How? What exactly has he done? EV Chargers? Where? Internet for rural areas? Where?

What exactly has the man done?

The fires actually added 15yrs worth of california CO2 production to the atmosphere, also toxic pollutants.

What will Trumpy do about that besides lying and spreading misinformation and denying it is a problem?

How has California done anything about the problem? Wildfires are the #1 producer of CO2 in CA, yet CA does little to prevent them, even regulatory industry gets in the way..
In fact CA spends 10x times the money on migrant benefits, than wildfire prevention.

Dude is smarter than all the California Government put together ... saved a ton of CO2!

Probably illegal ... but ...

Californians took matters into their own hands using a pump, a generator, and emptying two pools to save their neighborhood from the LA wildfires:
"We have to give all the credit to our father, about 3 to 4 months ago was adamant about having one of these [pool pumps] for fire season."

More insanity adding to the cause of fires getting bigger ...

Fire prevention is a very high priority in California.

Not that high, its 10x less than migrant benefits.
