JUST IN - 200 artworks by Hunter Biden allegedly worth "millions of dollars" destroyed in Los Angeles fires


. Basically the fires have nothing to do with climate change and are entirely the fault of Democrats.
#28 | POSTED BY REDIAL A

Does anyone have a single data point that says "climate change" caused/created the fires? Too humid? Too hot? Too much wind (2011) There isn't a single data point that indicates climate change had anything to do with this. But lets say there was one, why wouldn't you prepare for the worst case EVERYTIME?

DialAgain, idk about ALL Democrats, but certainly choices made by certain Democrat politicians. There were other Counties under the same duress that faired well.
I believe if they had prepared better both long term (SantaYnez, fire breaks) and short term (days before wind event), prepositioned, it would be hard to criticize.
But they didn't. They didn't fix the res (just a cover, is that really reason to drain it, for a year??) , they didn't preposition, they didn't even have someone in charge locally.

Finally still to be investigated, but as I have stated 80% of wildfires are human started, and most of those humans are homeless. Indications are that these fires currently burning were started by homeless. LA has a big homeless issue, this more than likely related.

This is a crisis of cascading catastrophes.

Yesterday CalFire was removing growth on the 405, Why? Why was there so much foliage right near the freeway (fire hazard by itself)

Last night forces were prepositioned, and everything went fine. Sure fires started, but were quickly extinguished even though environment was worse.

As it should have been initially. Too bad 12,000 structures needed to burn down to get this lesson across.
