Shifting Blame and Learned Helplessness

The response of leftists to the blazes in Southern California are utterly predictable:  It's all the fault of global warming!

The problem with this approach is that it makes more fires, of this sort, utterly inevitable.  First of all, global warming didn't cause the fires--this area has always been arid and always subject to wildfires.  Second of all, repeat after me, nothing is, or will be done about human-caused emissions of CO2.


So, instead of waiting for the magic CO2 removal fairy to arrive, how about doing things which will work and can be done?

  • Better forest management.
  • Better water management
  • Having a fire department focused on being ready to fight fires and not on DEI
  • Building codes
  • Organizing communities to use local reservoirs (AKA swimming pools) to fight fires and keep brush and deadwood in their communities cleared
