California wildfires: Bonehead senile California Governor brands fires 'new normal'

[I know nothing...nothing]

Devastating wildfires fuelled by climate change are "the new normal",
California's governor has said.

Jerry Brown said vast fires, such as the ones that have ravaged
southern California in recent days, "could happen every year or every
few years".

"We're facing a new reality in this state," he said. Mr Brown made the
comments after surveying the damage in Ventura County, north of Los
Angeles.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling the fires since Monday.

Mr Brown, a Democrat who has attacked the Trump administration's
stance on climate change, said: "We're facing a new reality in this
state, where fires threaten people's lives, their properties, their
neighbourhoods, and of course billions and billions of dollars.

"With climate change, some scientists are saying southern California
is literally burning up."

Good! Let the entire communist lawless morally bankrupt state burn to
the ground.

Actually it's the OLD normal. "California’s ‘new normal’ of winter wildfires

Also, firefighting funds have become money down a rathole: "Excess money
spent on fighting fires has to be pulled from other vital programs,
including some of the very activities—clearing brush and conducting
controlled burns—that are designed to keep the most destructive fires from
occurring."

"Jim Douglas, director of Interior’s Office of Wildland Fire, says both his
agency and the Forest Service (which together are responsible for preparing
for and fighting fires on federal land) are perpetually robbing Peter to pay
Paul—and climate change [drought] is only making matters worse."

“'It’s pretty clear that the physical environment in which we work is
changing,' he says. 'The underlying problem is that fire costs are
increasing more often than not.'”
