Climate change fanatics like to claim that wildfires are a product of man's CO2 emissions or some such.
Not necessarily. And especially not in California.
Why? Because that state is Soaked in Progressivism. And sinc eprovressivism is never wrong nor never learns anything'you get this:
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-0...The land near Yosemite National Park had been tended by Irene Vasquez's family for decades. They took care of their seven acres by setting small fires to thin vegetation and help some plants to grow.
But the steep, chaparral-studded slopes surrounding the property hadn't seen fire since Vasquez and fellow members of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation were barred from practicing cultural burning on a wider scale some 100 years before.
When a wildfire swept through in July, the dense vegetation stoked flames that destroyed Vasquez's home and transformed the land into a scarred moonscape. With that, she became one of many Indigenous residents to watch her ancestral territory burn in recent years, despite knowing the outcome could have been different.The LA Times strains mightily to make it race issue, but no: California mismanages its vast natural resources and beauty to an almost criminal degree. All on its own.
From not trimming trees near power lines to banning burns of undergrowth fuels to not understanding that you can actually store freshwater - the fruits of one-party rule are being enjoyed down there.

Vote red watch your children die...
Guns are the leading cause of death for American children.
Remember the Texas shooter didn't act alone.
He was assisted by 50 gop Senators, 210 gop House members, and the NRA.
This isn't complicated folks every other country figured it out, its the guns.

Back to guns, eh?
Wow, this campaign among the NPC's is really going places.
The problem with this 'argument' is the something has to pull the trigger. When you understand why, we'll talk.
Since you don't want to discuss bad land use practices, here's to the next priceless part of Yosemite National Park that burns down. I dedicate it to you.

Umm.
Dope1: ...Vasquez and fellow members of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation were barred from practicing cultural burning on a wider scale some 100 years before.
So, because there have been no controlled burns for some 100 years we have wild fires in California today?
Okay, make that make sense for me.
Dope1: The LA Times strains mightily to make it race issue, but no...
No?
To quote from your link:
But in 1850, as the Gold Rush transformed the area into a mining free-for-all, the Legislature passed a law that essentially codified the slavery of Indigenous people, facilitated their removal from their lands and prohibited the use of cultural fire. At around the same time, state-sponsored militias undertook efforts to exterminate them.
Yeah, that doesn't sound racist at all.

So more fuel on the ground doesn't make fire worse? Tell me you live in a blu bubble suburb without telling you don't live in a blue bubble suburb.
Not sure why you're straining to push the RACISM! angle since this is Team blue we're talking about. And the fact that you yourself admit that CA has been stupid for 100 years now on the subject of proscribed burns.
