“ Nearly 60 percent of the forests in California, 25 percent of the forests in Oregon, and 44 percent in Washington are national forests. For the most part, the forests burning across the West—the fires the president blames on state officials—are on federal lands.”

Just clarifying a simple fact the wingers certainly never heard on Fox
And guarantee by the middle of next week Trump, along with the First Lady in high heels, will be “touring” the States hit by Sally, took him a month to visit the west, pretty much ignored it during all that time, but he will waste no time getting the photo ops in the hurricane States

With all these wildfires in liberal states, they are the main cause of global warming and climate change. Liberals fucking up again...hehehehe....
The SOTC has the wildfire issues that they have because they do not properly manage their forests, they do not have adequate firebreaks and inroads, and they are weak on crime (such as arson).

The Federal government has a program to clean California Forests forests. The state need to exert pressure on private land owners to clean their lands.

Fire on the Mountain: Rethinking Forest Management in the Sierra Nevada
California needs to stop shirking its responsibilities. Even Governor Newsom admitted California needs to do a better job.In this report, the Commission calls for transformational culture change in its forest management practices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported in December 2017 that approximately 27 million trees had died statewide on federal, state and private lands since November 2016. The tally brought to 129 million the number of trees that have died in California forests during years of drought and bark beetle infestations since 2010.
During its review, the Commission found that California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement, resulting in overcrowding that leaves them susceptible to disease, insects and wildfire. The Commission found commitment to long-lasting forest management changes at the highest levels of government, but that support for those changes needs to spread down not just through the state’s massive bureaucracy and law- and policymaking apparatuses, but among the general public as well. Complicating the management problem is the fact that the State of California owns very few of the forests within its borders – most are owned by the federal government or private landowners.
Among the Commission’s nine recommendations, it urges the state to take a greater leadership role in collaborative forest management planning at the watershed level. The Good Neighbor Authority granted in the 2014 Farm Bill provides a mechanism for the state to conduct restoration activities on federal land, but state agencies must have the financial and personnel resources to perform this work. As part of this collaborative effort, it calls upon the state to use more prescribed fire to reinvigorate forests, inhibit firestorms and help protect air and water quality. Central to these efforts must be a statewide public education campaign to help Californians understand why healthy forests matter to them, and elicit buy-in for the much-needed forest treatments.
The number of forest fires have been going down in Canada. California has always had forest fires. It the managed the beetle kill they could help reduce the numbers of wild fires.
