CALIFORNIA'S GOV. JERRY BROWN: Fire-fueling heat worse than ‘since civilization emerged 10,000 years ago'.

Oh, bullshit! I lived in the high desert above Los Angeles for 5 years in the late 1990's. We had fires every year I lived there; they were always 'the worst fire season ever'. And every year the California government went back to sleep as soon as the fires were extinguished instead of embarking on a program of bulldozing fire breaks and clearing out dead underbrush to prevent the next year's fires.

Why, you ask? To save the habitat of the 'endangered' - but happy - little forest critters until they could be immolated in the following year's 'worst fire season ever'....

If America had any common sense, it would establish a fire break along the California/Nevada border and let the whole damned state burn to the ground.
