    Default If California fires are caused by climate change, shouldn't they stop driving?

    IQ TEST: If California’s fires are caused by climate change, and if driving cars produces CO2 that accelerates climate change, then didn’t all the motorists of California cause their own forest fires?

    Anyone daring to apply logic to a catastrophe risks being labeled “insensitive.” You’re supposed to fall all-in with the emotional plea of the moment, sweeping away rationality and replacing it with the convenience of conformity.

    Far from being insensitive, I’m so sensitive to the pleas and suffering of those victims of this California fire that I want to know how we stop this from ever happening again. I truly feel for those people (and the animals), and I think we owe it to all Californians to figure out how this happened and do our best to stop it from happening again. That’s not satire, by the way. It’s genuinely what compelled me to explore this issue and write this article.

    Of course, it’s not socially acceptable to argue with people whose homes are on fire. That’s why, when California celebrities, fire officials and media personalities all insisted that the horrific fires there were all caused by climate change, I’ve decided to take them at their word.

    So let’s start with that premise: Yes, “climate change” caused the fires in California.

    No argument. Let’s follow this narrative, then, and see where it leads us…

    To begin, we have to ask: What is climate change, exactly?

    How “climate change” causes trees to catch on fire, according to California liberals

    According to liberal ideology, “climate change” is a radicalization of weather events caused by carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles that run on petroleum. This belief, of course, rests on the absurd notion that forest fires, hurricanes and droughts never took place before the invention of the combustion engine, but let’s set aside factual history for the moment so we can follow the liberal myth that claims the Earth was a calm, pristine, disaster-less planet right up until about 1920, when the combustion engine went into mass production.

    (Those of you who are actual historians, geologists and scientists who are scoffing at such a leap of absurdity, pipe down! We are giving the climate change narrative the benefit of the doubt here, just for argument’s sake. We must now pretend no natural disasters ever took place before 1920, just as we must pretend that people can magically change their gender in complete defiance of their genetics and biology.)

    Climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels, we’re told. The No. 1 source of fossil fuel burning that takes place in California is, of course, combustion engine-driven automobiles, which account for the vast majority of all cars and trucks on the road in California.

    We already know the solution is to do more raking

    Kind of impossible to give up driving, unless you have time to deal with public transport to get to work. Everything is delivered by trucks, planes, trains, or boats, so you can't stop that either. New fuel technologies are bought up, and buried by the gas company giants, so we settle for hybrids, or even full electric. Of course you need the extra cash for those vehicles, but in the long run you will save plenty.

    Common sense: if you want to prevent future fires—eliminate the fuel source.

    CA needs to get their priorities straight. Yes, burning underbrush and dead wood on days when conditions are damp creates smog and introduces CO2 in the atmosphere. Do it anyway. Or face the prospect of future catastrophes.

    It’s a no-brainer.

    We should reduce driving to reduce all the highway homicides. Far more deaths than guns cause. But liberals say i don't care.
    Reckless drivers are a bigger threat to you than all other criminals put together!

    How do you think you will get people to stop smoking and flicking their butts out the window ?

    Or that lawn mower or weed whacker to stop sparking .... That's what started the latest fire BTW .

    Yeah, that's it. Make fun of what you don't understand. Those doing the raking are actually called foresters, and they do much more than rake. They clear dead brush and trees from the forests so there is no fuel for fires, and monitor temperature, humidity and other parameters. Whereas our tree hugging nitwits are necromancers, hugging dry, DEAD trees in the belief that this "old growth" is the only home to the forest critters. Then they whine about global warming after a fire that consumes the old growth and kills all the forest critters. Animals are real good at finding homes, and they don't have mortgages.

    Good points. People are stupid. Remove the fuel source for the fire, and you have no fire. Flick your butts and weed whack to your heart's content
