Will this terrible tragedy in Cal turn Cal red?

Railing against people who you don't even know their names makes you an even bigger dipshit.

Gavin Newsom! How's that, asshole?

Gavin Newsom! How's that, asshole?

Well, for one thing, it shows you did in fact know his name, and were misspelling it on purpose. Which makes you the asshole, if you ask me.

It’s kinda funny that some Joe Rogan jock sniffer posted that as “Joe Rogan predicting” the recent wildfire’s level of destruction, when Rogan himself says in the video that it was a firefighter who made the prediction.



And it wasn’t much of a prediction considering Rogan says 40 houses burned from wildfires in the area during one wildfire event while he lived there, and that he had to evacuate from the area three times due to wildfires.

One thing I hope this disaster will change is that we need to stop subsidizing sprawl in fire-prone areas and accelerate the construction of high-density homes in safer locations.

In other states. Staying in Cali is a decision to become homeless again.

Could the dumb bitch and her parasitic reporter / camera crew be any more obvious about their right wing agenda to damage Gavin Newsom???





Also:

Karma is going to fuck up every right wing POS with a political agenda that is trying to spin this UNPRECEDENTED wildfire as anything other than ANOTHER anthropogenic climate change related catastrophe.

And that ^ includes the POS that posted that link here on the PB.

A site could be started for helping Californians choose their next states, like "Which Game of Thrones character are you?" If you love cheese, move to Wisconsin. If you love tacos, move to Texas.

 

[Politruk]

The California GOP will not benefit from this fire, because California voters are smart enough to blame it on climate change, therefore on the Pubs.

 

[ChloeTzang]

The most Californian thing ever.....

Nah, this level of disassociation from reality will never change it's voting patterns.....

 

[UltraChad]

REeeeee!!! histrionic!!! REEEEEEEE!!!

LOL fucking loser...that's the most pathetic shit I've seen you come back with yet.

You crying or some shit??

 

[Lance_Castro]

If California had voted Repub, Trump was going to buy one of the Great Lakes and move it to Los Angeles, where people would be all demanding it be renamed Lake Trump.

But they didn’t.

They voted for those corrupt losers and now Los Angeles is on fire.

Lol

Yes, and who is it ultimately putting that money in China's pocket? It's not the environmentalists or the unions or any of your other favorite bogeymen. It's mostly big businesses who shipped thousands of American jobs over there because of the cheap labor. Tariffs are not going to fix that, nor are tax cuts for those companies.

Yes, China is currently considered the largest contributor to global warming, as it emits the most greenhouse gases globally, primarily due to its heavy reliance on coal for energy production; therefore, China is significantly adding to global warming.

Lowering corporate taxes will have an effect on keeping manufacturing in state. Tariffs do have an effect if used strategically. The global warming cultists think they can spend their way into global cooling while China pollutes at a faster rate. Common sense is not destroying our economy chasing some dystopian illusion. The best way to move forward with Green house gas emission is first to have a complete understanding of the effects of green house gases. Markets and innovation can control needed change a lot more efficiently than shoving some cultist agenda down people's throat. If we clean up our act while a country half way across the planet increases their pollution unchecked that puts us at a great disadvantage and downgrades our own national security.

But we can't let environmentalists and liberals off the hook either. Many decades of fire suppression have led to a build-up of undergrowth in forests and hills.

Environmentalists don’t believe in fire suppression. Fire suppression is also not a liberal thing.

Doxxing yourself isn't being "published."

Dam, and here I thought this was the interweebles where everything, at least according to you, is "published."

Your credibility on all things is slipping. If you keep it up it won't be long before people start thinking you're an idjit.

You need some moar intake personnel to he'p ya.

I tell ya, it really is Hell working here.

ineedhelp1 obviously knows NOTHING about China and it’s investment in / push towards a green future.

“China is expected to account for almost 60% of all renewable energy capacity installed worldwide between now and 2030, according to the International Energy Agency.Oct 9, 2024”



China also acts as a manufacturing hub for American businesses, so America is responsible for some of the fossil fuel energy production / usage in China.

A good read:

https://truthout.org/articles/chinas-emissions-are-made-in-america/

From the article:

“Currently, U.S. corporations and consumers directly drive at least one-fifth of China’s industrial carbon output. But that doesn’t fully account for the indirect, carbon-polluting oil-driven supply chain that takes oil and gas out of the ground in the Middle East and ships it to China, where it is burned for fuel and manufactured into hydrocarbon-based plastic products. Those products get shipped overseas to ports on the West and East Coasts of the United States before being trucked to retail outlets and home shoppers around the country, with CO2 produced every step of the way. Even worse, China’s mass production of hydrocarbon-based plastic for the U.S. market helps sustain the global oil industry’s heavily subsidized business model.”





Also:

DonOld’s push for expansion of fossil fuel energy production / usage makes him the anti-Xi when it comes to green energy. (Xi and China are still dangerous expansionists.)



Hope ALL of that ^ helps.

I wonder how much excess pollution is created in manufacturing/mining all the stuff needed for those "green" jobs...

Well, for one thing, it shows you did in fact know his name, and were misspelling it on purpose. Which makes you the asshole, if you ask me.

So, if he did it on a porpoise, what's the big deal?

 

[HisArpy]

There is PLENTY of blame to go around, and also none at all.

Yes, weather disasters happen. Including wildfires.

Global warming's effects include drought and heat, and extreme winds which have produced more hazardous wildfires. Which party is committed to addressing global warming and which is trying to deny it? The one trying to deny it shares some of the blame here. And allowing communities to sprawl out into rural fire-prone areas, rubber-stamping building permits in these areas, makes them harder to defend against wild fires. This is a conservative, libertarian practice by the way, and clearly not a progressive one.

But we can't let environmentalists and liberals off the hook either. Many decades of fire suppression have led to a build-up of undergrowth in forests and hills. Lack of thinning and logging in forests has resulted in denser forests that pose a much greater fire hazard in prolonged dry spells. Environmentalists have good intentions, but in practice, the policy of denying logging permits and surpressing fires have had a negative effect of making fires burn hotter and more extreme.

I visited Northern California recently; 300 miles north of where the fires are. There, in the neighborhood where I stayed, there is a lot of open space, most of which is owned and managed by private companies; the rest is park lands. In these areas, they have people periodically go through and clear underbrush and cut down old dying trees to reduce potential fire risks. They even got creative and on a couple occasions, herded goats through there to organically clear out undergrowth vegetation. Many areas also create bare-soil (no vegetation, just plowed dirt) "Fire breaks" around homes to create a weed-free "Buffer zone" around the subdivisions. These are the kind of practices that wise wildlands management needs to do to help mitigate fire danger.

Great!

You should email this idea to the Sierra Club and ask them if they would agree to allow the USFS and CalFire to do it.

Link us to the reply you get.

This will be a good thread to re-visit when a disaster (natural, man-made, etc.) affects Deplorables in the future.

The rest of us will have license to gloat, and their crying about it will fall on deaf ears.
