Re: Trump tweets profound ignorance about California fires
Nada-I have know for years that the environmental practices of the Cali epa encourage the build up of bracken and a tree density that promotes fires every year. Even, I, as a peasant, know this.
If Cali wanted to do some creative things it could stop worrying about depleting water supplies by agriculture, but even consider nuclear desalinization plants to bring in Pacific waters.
The Profound stupidity is due to pure, ideological, reasons, of the democrats who have long abandoned reason.

Trump tweets profound ignorance about California fires
Here in wet Florida we do controlled burns to get rid of ground clutter that in the world of fire theory fits in the broad category of "tinder."
https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2018/05/16/florida-forest-service-controlled-burns-fire-mitigation/608183002/
We do that even though it is risky. Almost 40 homes were destroyed in one case of such a controlled burn recently in Florida.
The value of such a dangerous practice must be high for it to be an understood tool of forestry management.
Clutter that I refer to as "tinder" may well be known differently in the very, very different land of California.
Ah, California forestry dreamin- - I mean, management.
Imagine the PC wonderland - instead of "tinder," call it "beloved remnants of natures past, slowly decaying in place." I believe a chorus of older Forest Rangers chants this in harmony, during union-mandated Peyote therapy sessions.
