I’m a long way away in Australia, where we also have learnt a bit about bushfires. I thought what Trump has said on California’s fire vulnerability (especially on his Rogan podcast well before the fires) made perfect sense. California apparently took no care to clear fuel load in forests, did nothing to improve its water management notwithstanding high population growth, and stymied fuel management and reservoir construction by environmental lawfare, the later in favour of smelt over humans.

It’s easy to diagnose, because we do that stuff in Australia too, all the while building more properties in harm’s way. Then, when a bad fire occurs, it’s ‘climate change’.
