California fires and the stupidity of Gavin Newsom
The Twitter blows between President Donald Trump and California governor Gavin Newsom have been well publicized. Mr. Trump points out that California has badly mismanaged its forests. Newsom responds that Trump has failed to stop climate change.
Donald Trump has correctly identified that proximate cause of California's fires, as this piece from American Thinker shows. Newsom's rebuttal is ridiculous; even IPCC's models show that zero carbon emissions from the United States would have no influence on alleged climate change, and Trump has no ability to have imposed such drastic reductions. But that's not what reveals Newsom as astonishingly stupid.
*If* Newsom's complaint against Trump were valid, what would this imply? It would mean harvesting and wise timber management would be all the more important. If climate change were really such a pressing issue, then California's failure to manage forests for fire suppression is all the worse.
Do Newsom and the rest of the climatistas actually believe what they say? Their actions suggest otherwise.
