I call on Republicans/GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP to work around Trump's ignorance about climate change. There are those of you who know better.

Cells that have damaged DNA die. When the cells of the leaf die. The plant cuts off the water going to the leaf. The leaf drys out to the point that it will burn like gun power. Real fast. And it is.

When you use our DEW weapons to do damage to the ozone layer. ( black lines in the sky) By destroying the atoms that make up the ozone layer. It lets a lot more radon particles reach the earth. Radon particles does damage to the DNA in the cells of the leafs of grass and trees.

Need to reduce fuel....simple.

Top_Sergeant The world knows that. trump knows it too but he likes blaming Ca because he is angry with the state. It gives him a reason to threaten. The bigger he tries to project himself the smaller he appears.

Top_Sergeant Please keep reporting. You are educating people.

This state is already the leader in combating environmental issues, it’s not working out well so far. Time to follow the direction of fire fighters and forestry workers eh?

Will climate change be blamed for the next major earthquake coming to California soon?

angelagscott Yes climate change has everything to do with the fires but they ability to respond has everything to do with funding. This can save lives and California doesn’t see it that way.

President Trump is in extreme menopausal change right now.

Funny, cause where I live, we are affected by climat change, they are more trees than house, but still, absolutely no fire 😎. Did even one of your so called journalist tried to find the source of the fire 🧐

Well 30 years ago they all said it was global cooling and all the world was going to covered in ICE. It's all stupid. Dry forest catch fire easy. Hurricanes are not stronger than 100 years ago - just more property to damage.

Let’s blame the climate change boogie man. No it’s never democrat mismanagement of anything. It’s something else.

California has been having massive forest fires for hundreds (on record) if not thousands of years. Arrogant humans (loony libs) think we’re to blame for climate change. Like the morons who thought the earth was the center of the galaxy. GTFOH.

realDonaldTrump SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THE CLIMATE CHANGE YOU SAY ISNT REAL!!!!!!!!!! (I used all caps cuz thats his native language)

BS! Fires have been worse since the installation of solar panels and wind farms. They are to blame based on your logic.

Both are true. Excess forest fuel must be removed.

Damn right, it’s not mismanagement, it’s CLIMATE CHANGE. CaliforniaFires ClimateChangeIsReal

Were these the SAME SCIENTISTS that said Manhattan would be flooded by 2013? FYI: ClimateChange will happen whether Humans are on EARTH or NOT. Maintaining UNDERGROWTH expands Wildfires. More People Living in/around Forrest will expand fires too. GET A CLUE.

_dralaterdzo What did scientists say 20 years ago? If we don't reduce our carbon emissions, there will be extreme weather, stronger and more frequent hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, rising sea levels will wash away communities located at or near sea level. It's all happening.

How much did California reduce their forest management services?...How are your sanctuary cities now?...

So what was cause of the last ice age & melt down of it ? It was long before humans could have effected it. It was natural climate change.The same that effects us now.

Maybe you should get on a plane and go see how Israel solved this problem 50 years ago, instead of trying to use it to pimp the Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax.

Kinda funny how there aren't fires like that in,places where they conduct controlled burning...

I thought everyone knew that our climate changes constantly and it is out of our control to do anything. There was even change before the pre-industrial revolution.

Man made global warming was suppose to increase rain fall for California. Yeah, so there is that.

went looking for a Liberal Democrat voting scientist..we know how CorruptMSM works now..

Besides BernieSanders claiming that he is a democrat, when he is actually a communist, this is the next biggest scam the democrats are lying about, climate change. Keep the old trees down, brush and debris cleared and these fires would never be this explosive and deadly. Liars!

These wildfires are being set by humans. The forest absolutely are being mismanaged. That's why they have become a target.

Climate change, climate change, blah, blah, blah. There's no such thing. It is definitely forest mismanagement. All the blasted tree hugging hippies have caused all this crap.

Poor land management and Liberals are 100% to blame for the fires.

BS

Our president does not get his information from his advisors, not from his White House aides, not from any scientific research but only from Fox News!

Donald Trump knows nothing about nature.

The more you know!

Trump denies climate change, so he has to find a scapegoat for the California fires. If blaming forest management practices doesn't fly, next he'll probably claim that Obama or Clinton or Hispanic invaders started the fires.

By not manicuring and keeping fire load at minimum...California has ordered Mother Nature to take what she will. And She has...

How? Climate change is made up nonsense.

More fuel, bigger fires. Of forest management is to blame. But maybe so many people should not live in the forest. That is probably causing more problems than anything.

They need to do allot more controlled burning like they do in Europe!

The Almighty warns the world of the tragedy in Yemen, but Trump did not understand and did not understand Pompeo did not understand the world

presidentporn is entirely to blame. Look at the last fires since he has been in office. What has he done about, nothing.

Of course, it’s not. The man is a CON man playing to his ignorant base.

Far left tree huggers are to blame. If the brush was cleared, this would not have happened. Article from 2013
