Yeah. It's horrible. It's also the new norm...

Its just the smoke from the wildfires they allowed to burn because they didnt tend to the forests they have. Thats the problem with government owned and managed land- they do a terrible job of maintaining their assets.

Government lands should be sold to private individuals and companies, and the proceeds used to reduce the national debt.

I bet if the land was owned privately that the owners would take better care of it.

Californians are seeing the effects of their radical environmentalism.

And california will want federal money (translation OUR money) to bail them out.

As far as I am concerned, I simply do not care what happens to california with their socialist attitudes and laws. They are on their own as far as I am concerned. And dont steal my money to give it to them.

And all despite the fact that they have the toughest regulatory controls on polluters. Its almost as if regulation doesn't really equate to reality...

Yes, it is getting worse by the day.

This morning we were unable to see for a 100 yards.

A thick, white layer of "air" is surrounding us.

The prognosis is that it'll be with us for a long time. The cold nighttime temperatures keep the heavy layer pushed to the ground with the daily sun not warm enough to let it rise to the atmosphere.

Pop quiz!
Where there is smoke, there is __
So something must be __.

Saw one of those "text 'wildfire' to xxxxx and donate $10 to the red cross" commercials, and had to laugh. Nature is doing what the environmentalists and their laws & rules prevent humans from doing. Having a hard time feeling sorry for them.

I feel sorry for people In California that went through the pain to quit smoking. And also for the people that never started.

Smoke from the fires could contribute to that.

After saying that California forestry practices played no part in the fires, and blaming it on climate change deniers, Governor Brown quietly changed the rules on logging. He increased the size of tree that can be cut without a license, eliminated the requirement to get a license to clear underbrush, and removed a restriction on temporary roads, allowing roads of up to 500' long to support clearing, provided the surface is restored after use.

Of course there was no apology to the President, or admission Trump's criticisms had some merit. Of course Brown's office is being inundated with protests from the same environmentalist idiots that killed logging in California. I expect incoming Governor Newsome to restore the prior restrictions, and maybe even up the ante, so any respite from extreme wildfires will be brief.

Starting to sound like Venezuela.

Boomerang effect for the econazi’s that loved the trees and spotted owls to death now literally they have died along with humans. Blame Trump and climate change. The morons . Their ignorance has consequences.

Yeah, how would you like to breath the hot air emitted by the B.S.-ing Socialists over there?

For nthose of you just returned from he outer planets, we've just had a slough of fires here. The air will be back to normal soon.

I remember the afternoon Trump was sworn in it started to rain here and didn't stop for over a week.
All our reservoirs were replenished and Oroville dam's shortcomings were exposed, etc. I wish he would do that again.

Proof that population, not regulation, is the problem.
