      The climate change activists have put themselves in a win-win situation. That’s because if their narrative shows that climate is getting worse than they can say oh we have to work even harder we have to make more changes. We have to keep putting more money into it. And if it gets better, they can say look at how much better it’s getting because of all the work we’re doing we need to work even harder now and put more money into it and keep doing what we’re doing. People need to wake up.

    Former So Cal native. Now living in Central Oregon which has very similar climate to So Cal regarding the wet/dry season. Our fire season is late Summer vs Winter Time. The fire mitigation is night and day. Every Spring massive controlled burns, they don't mess around. They clean up all the excess brush near the cities and if we do get lightning strikes in the dense forest they are allowed to burn (as they need to) as long as no structures are threatened. Brush mitigation is critical in dry areas but no one seems to do it. That video of the start of the Eaton fire, dense brush right under the powerline tower. There was do disputing that. Goats, backhoes good old manual labor to clear all that. Controlled burns are not always possible in some areas because of risk of spread but there is nothing stopping proper mitigation with those other methods.

If all of those pools were hooked up to a sprinkler system designed for emergency structure protection the fire most certainly wouldn't have burned through all those neighborhoods. That 10-15k system for each million plus $ home would've been enough to save the vast majority of structures that burnt down.

    I’ve lived in LA all my life and I’m in my late 30’s now. Wildfire has always been an issue in LA, that’s true, but the frequency and severity has certainly increased in the last 10 years due to the dryer climate. The rain has also significantly decreased in the last 10 years. Climate change is real and it is a factor. But its also clear that the City and State grossly mismanaged the situation with their terrible water management, cutting the fire department budget and prioritizing DEI over competence. It’s definitely both. Joe has gone full Repub with his climate change denial now. Starting to lose credibility for me.

    I grew up in the Mt Diablo foothills, an area very prone to brush fires. As a child, I participated in defending the neighborhood from fire by watering down our fence-which faced the preserve-and putting out any embers I found. The entire neighborhood would stay to defend and put out what we could, and no one lost a home or significant property while I lived there. It is doable, especially as a group effort, but social isolation and lack of community has seemingly done away with a lot of cooperative efforts.
    At the time, there were not many trees, which made this easier. I did notice, after many years, that there are lots of trees in my old neighborhood, none of them endemic. They were planting more eucalyptus when I moved, which is a huge mistake. I also understand the large groups of volunteers clearing the deadfall in the preserve stopped as well.
    This is a civic issue. California has always burned, and mismanagement will only increase the damage.

      I’m in the south of the uk thought it had been quite mild this year copy and pasted this off the met office website
      December was milder than average, with the UK experiencing a provisional mean temperature of 6.2°C, 2.0°C above the long-term average. This was provisionally the fifth warmest December on record for the UK. All four countries saw temperatures above average overall, although Wales and Northern Ireland were slightly cooler than England and Scotland. Rainfall has been above average for the UK, provisionally recording 139.4mm of rainfall, 110% of the long-term average.

    I watched a homeless guy burning a large pile of debri 🔥 down there on the side of the highway just a week before. The entire highway was covered in smoke and not single fire truck in sight. Everyone drove right by like it was normal to see

    The narrator for the 1961 documentary you showed is the actor and producer, William Conrad. He narrated a lot of projects because of his distinct voice. His acting Bio lists THIS video among his credits.

      Oh really? Sure it wasn't the lack of preventative burning, fire road maintenance, lack of water in fire hydrants, slashed budgets, and arson? Yeah ok dude drink your Carmel machiato and stfu

    I love the RUclips warning about climate change. By criticising the fire response, I guess that means you’re a climate denier.

    The fire that Joe talked about was in 2007. Adam Carolla talked about this because his good friend Alan Hamel (Jewish old money) had a house that burned to the ground there. Alan and his wife planned to rebuild and went to the coastal commission to pull permits. The young clerk there simply said no (in a sinister tone) and informed them that any appeals would take a minimum of one year because she was very busy. Needless to say they sold the empty land and built a new house in Palm Springs instead.

    They just need to let goats out so they eat all the crap on the ground and get rid of all the foliage that's just sitting there dry and ready to Kindle up as fuel for a fire

      Goats eat foliage and grasses, not dry dead brush.

    • @jonlamontagne
      @jonlamontagne 5 дней назад +1

      For all the people saying they don't eat dry brush that's why you use targeted foraging right now to prevent this from becoming out of hand. Not saying it's going to be the 100% solution but they are cheap they are more effective than not doing anything and clearly nothing's working. They did in Sacramento and I know they don't really have the same climates but try something because clearly it's going to keep happening

      @@jonlamontagne They need a mixture of controlled burns when it's safe to get rid of the tinder that way, and goats grazing to keep the green foliage and the grasses down.

    • @jonlamontagne
      @jonlamontagne 5 дней назад +2

      @immortaltyger1569 I didn't mean the goats were going to be the only thing to mitigate wild brush fires! I was just saying it's way better than doing nothing and it's helped in other areas that are prone to wildfires. If they sit still sitting on their hands it's never going to get fixed clearly. I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying

    1991 Oakland Ca. firestorm destroyed 2843 homes. 65 mph winds. I was there and drove through the hills, nothing but burnt tree trunks and fireplaces left.
