This is cute, do your work wrong, dont cut the trees on your lines, cause 17 Billion in damages, then say "It's climate change". Yea, you very uninformed manipulator, it is climate change, just not the one you want to use. It's called the Grand Solar Minimum, and the "wackos" who believe it, have forecasted the very changes you want to blame on man, and scam money out of the government of Kalifornia, and make the taxpayers foot your bill. Nice.

    She wants to build her house on the banks of a river and then buy cheap insurance for when the river rises and her house floats away. You can't fix stupid and I gave up trying long ago.

    Is the entire world-wide political discourse devolving to climate change and racism? Rhetorical question.

      Both emotional hot button issues designed to get an instant emotional response. The Cabal education system programmed that into the last few generations, along with homophobia. So, they become mainstream excuses for anything you want.

    hmm. I make off road equipment, and sales are down a bit. Must be climate change. In fact I was late to work this morning, as it was hotter. Must be climate change also.

    The fact that environmentalists have successfully stopped logging, which thinned the forest growth, prevented the clearing of underbrush, which is tinder for the fires, prevented the cutting of firebreaks, all under the wish to return the forests to "their natural state," might have just a little bit to do with the raging fires in California. The liability issue for PG&E should be to blame the state for creating hazardous conditions and not allowing them to create tree-free areas around their power lines.

      Not cleanining forests does let them return to their natural state. But large fires are also their natural state - those are how nature “cleans” the forest. You can have a natural forest that burns or a manually cleaned one that mostly doesn’t. You can’t have both.

      Good point, but that would mean suing the state and going against them, which is contrary to good socialist order and discipline. Meaning, the state could get real mean about permits etc...stick to the script.

    The current warming trend can be traced back to the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Is the target for ending climate change when we have a new ice age and New York is under a mile thick glacier?
    The biggest cause of the fires being out of control is the prevention of all fires which started over 100 years ago with the BLM, Forest Service and other unauthorized federal agencies. Pine forests had adapted to occasional fires by developing thick barks and high limbs that would not easily catch fire. The occasional fire would clear the understory allowing a regrowth and reducing the possibility of a cataclysmic hot fire. Preventing the fires or removal of any debris or dead trees so that a natural fire could occur ensured a fire that started was going to be epic and destroy the forest rather than clean it out. Blaming climate change removes the blame from those who created the conditions, add an abnormally dry year or two and the stage is set for disaster.

    Oh, good golly gee whiz, according to the video it's all Trump's fault.
    That mean ole' Tangerine Tornado backed out of that expensive especially for the USA Paris Accord magic act that's supposed to stop climate change from always changing.
    It's a concept dinosaurs and woolly mammoths blow their noses at.

    Solution: (just kidding)

    Force PG&E into bankruptcy, sell off the assets, compensate those effected, and wait for a new investor to come in and rebuild the kalifornia power infrastructure.

    That's what's supposed to happen, right?
