#1 I was born here (San Diego) in 1942 and there used to be controlled burns/brush clearing years ago....and Gavin's wise ass comment California was penalized by Trump for "not raking a few leaves" he can EAT now.

#2 Send him a box of leaves and a lighter every now and then to keep him focused.

#3 The climate change drivel by the Berzerkly mouthpiece is at odds with the real reason above it...

Odd to have it placed so it's so obviously nonsense in an MSM rag.

Maybe the editor will be placed on re-education duty.

Preventing it burning every year just means you get an unstoppable fire.

#5 Nature doing its own thinning. Just more spontaneous and random. You can work with nature, but if you don't, you have no say.

#6 Ref #1: Having clearly reached the age of knowledge and discernment. Congratulations CH. Wishing you 10 or 15 more healthy ones. Oh WTF, how about 25 ?

#7 beetles have killed more trees than climate change

And when the dead trees aren't cleared (as is the case here), they burn much better than live trees.

#8 Hundreds of thousands of California residents flee as wildfires that have burned 1.2 million acres threaten their homes amid fears new thunderstorms could fan the flames with even more lightning strikes

#9 Think of all the CO2 released into the atmosphere by the forest fires...

I would be glad it would cause faster regrowth, but they should be pondering the speeding up of their bugaboo warming.

#10 The CO2 from a volcano eruption is absolutely immense. But the tree-huggers don't (won't) get it.

#11 California fires: State, feds agree to thin millions of acres of forests

Dang! I had Bee, figured it was a riff on "controlled burns".

#12 Lemme guess: Califoria agrees to thin the underbrush, but the Feds will have to pay for it?
