The Climate Change Thread

[FalseFlagg K]

i live in an area with a high bushfire risk that has seen 3 pretty catastrophic fires in the last 40 years and have personally seen up close 2 of them. Similarly to California we have Eucalypts. Guess what, eucalyptis burns like crazy. The reports of the lack of forest management, backburning, clearing, fire access trails and water management in a dry environment beggars belief. This is not a left / right climate change / woke issue. This is a complete abdication of common sense and basic competency in management in a high fire risk area. Absolutely unbelievable. Thoughts with all those affected, it's a life altering event when you lose everything.

And then the wokeies tried to hoist a complete moron President on us in a massive switch-a-roo. Not so fast leftists! We figured out she was a completely ill equiped imbecile before it was too late.

there fixed it for you And if you think that's not the case then you have zero credibility.

Kamala is not a moron. Seriously, it's one thing to say there are better candidates, but to say that a lawyer who then became a district attorney (elected), who then became a state Attorney General (elected), who then became a senator (elected), and was chosen to be Vice President of the United states is a "moron" is a moronic thing to say.

I mean do you honestly believe her IQ is below 80? To be a moron your IQ would be between 50-70.

of course not she's obviously academically smart, you can't be a lawyer and be that. I have no idea why you're so hung up on this kind of thinking when people say she's dumb. You can be academically smart and have abysmal emotional intelligence and abysmal people / political whatever else skills. I mean you just have to read Thrillers posts. She's probably got an IQ of 125, I have no idea what she's like privately. She's an idiot in political terms. Like very very low political IQ. I mean she lost to Donald ****ing Trump. She wasn't chosen for her smarts and because she's an able political candidate, off the cuff she's barely able to string a coherent sentence together let alone lay out a policy position.

Most of her career she's been very fortunate to be right place / right time / connected to the right people / and then at the end because she ticked the right boxes identity wise. Like most of your politicians she's extremely underwhelming in terms of her capabilities / achievements. So yeah i see her as a moron in the context of the sphere of life she operates in.

I agree with this post 100%

I hope Kamala goes away from public political life. I feel the same way about Bill and Hillary Clinton. I mean I'd be pleased if Bill went to prison for sexual assault or something along those lines. He's a dirty POS and he always has been.

The Democratic party needs a significant shake-up. The DNC always plays not to lose and never plays to win. It isn't working, they are losing.

I can’t see anything good coming from the near instantaneous creation of conspiracy theories in 21st century America. Conspiracism swamping reason. Just seems like, overall, this trend destabilizes and guarantees divisiveness. Here’s the latest irrational bit of nonsense, applied to the LA firestorms…

Untouched palm trees spark wildfire conspiracy theories

Bizarre claims include that infernos were caused by ‘direct energy weapon’ to erode humanity and implement 15-minute cities

15 minute cities? sounds like a great idea. My aunts house burnt down in the Ash Wednesday fires 40 years ago, every so often I go up there and help my uncle clear out trees on fire trails, the ground is almost like fired clay from the heat of the bush fires 40 years later. Its impossible to break the ground without a pick.

Do you mean like claiming climate change makes structures more burnable?

You can research that question if you’d like….Not that I trust AI. Had to use AI recently to understand changes to my secondary health insurance, because nobody answered the phones during open season! But it worked, the google AI came through for me, lol. Nerve wracking, “boy this better be the right answer”, lol lol. But, yeah, I do think it’s OK to say climate change does make things more burnable. Well, according to the AI return to your question….

I did read recently that 8 of the 10 biggest fires in California records have happened in the past 5 years.

One response to the proliferation of conspiracism in the United States(and yes, one can argue, conspiracy theories are not really more widespread, just a lot more visible due to social media) is the creation of a comical parody of conspiracism in the form of the “Birds are not real” movement. This guy got it, and decided to have some fun with our tendency to look for conspiracies everywhere. Good job, but I think quite a few now actually believe it! Well, of course, when you think of it, lol. My favorite fact: those pigeons are not resting on the overhead wires, they’re charging their batteries. And they’re watching you!

None of the material is responsive to structures. They're already dry. Furthermore, it discounts the educated opinions of experts in the field of burning buildings. Climate change does not make buildings more burnable. Slashing the funding for fire departments does reduce the ability of fire departments to fight fires. The Los Angeles government choosing to completely drain the Pacific Palisades reservoir that fed the fire hydrants in the months before the fire started basically guaranteed the fire could not be stopped.

LA water chief knew about empty reservoir, broken hydrants months before fires: Report

Los Angeles' water chief reportedly knew about an empty reservoir and broken fire hydrants months before the deadly wildfires now spreading across the city.

This was a failure attributable entirely to government. Placing blame for this tragedy on climate change instead of the officials who made the decisions to kneecap the area's ability to fight fires is roughly on the same level as placing blame on Jewish space lasers. So many losing so much isn't Jews and it isn't Exxon. Just stop.

If you don't think climate change is a significant variable(s) in the outcome of this disaster (and, yes, I know that you don't), then you're nuts.

(I came in here to see the shape that your nuts-ness is taking these days. You seem to be plowing ahead in the same direction and with the same blinders as you were years ago. If only consistency alone were a virtue.)
