Climate change fanatics like to claim that wildfires are a product of man's CO2 emissions or some such.
Not necessarily. And especially not in California.
Why? Because that state is Soaked in Progressivism. And sinc eprovressivism is never wrong nor never learns anything'you get this:
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-0...The land near Yosemite National Park had been tended by Irene Vasquez's family for decades. They took care of their seven acres by setting small fires to thin vegetation and help some plants to grow.
But the steep, chaparral-studded slopes surrounding the property hadn't seen fire since Vasquez and fellow members of the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation were barred from practicing cultural burning on a wider scale some 100 years before.
When a wildfire swept through in July, the dense vegetation stoked flames that destroyed Vasquez's home and transformed the land into a scarred moonscape. With that, she became one of many Indigenous residents to watch her ancestral territory burn in recent years, despite knowing the outcome could have been different.The LA Times strains mightily to make it race issue, but no: California mismanages its vast natural resources and beauty to an almost criminal degree. All on its own.
From not trimming trees near power lines to banning burns of undergrowth fuels to not understanding that you can actually store freshwater - the fruits of one-party rule are being enjoyed down there.
