Stop burning fossil fuels and use controlled burns to reduce the available kindling isn't a science based solution. Though, control burns are

Megafires Are a Choice

By Jordan Thomas

Mr. Thomas is a former firefighter and a doctoral candidate in anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His forthcoming book is “When It All Burns: Fighting Fire in a Transformed World.”

Parts of Los Angeles have been burning for over a week, and with at least 12,000 structures damaged or destroyed, the Palisades and Eaton fires are among the most destructive in U.S. history. The science is clear: To prevent catastrophic fires like these, we must stop burning fossil fuels and use controlled burns to reduce the available kindling. But President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration may hinder our ability to do either.

Dear Mr. Attorney General:

    Your time in office won’t run out a moment too soon. You will be remembered as

Its not like Trump's idea to buy Greenland from Denmark is wacko since apparently there is a precedent, The Virgin Islands!

How Much Would Buying Greenland Cost?

The United States bought what were known as the Danish West Indies from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million (about $657 million today) because of national defense concerns. Greenland is obviously much bigger, but in both cases the defensive value is based on location rather than size.

The reckoning will also have to redirect moronic Californian politicos to get over lecturing over global climate change and to think locally

“There were too many houses to protect, and not enough engines,” one fire captain in Los Angeles said. Though fire officials say they were “There’s going to be a real reckoning about land use, escape routes, water pressure, water supply,” said Zev Yaroslavsky, a former longtime Los Angeles City Council member and county supervisor. Mr. Yaroslavsky said the fire might serve as a “Pearl Harbor” moment for the city, an alarm bell that signals fundamental new questions about how the city approaches the threat of wildfires.ised about whether the intensity of modern fires requires a new playbook.“There were too many houses to protect, and not enough engines,” one fire captain in Los Angeles said. Though fire officials say they were well-prepared and simply overwhelmed by the elements, questions are being raised about whether the intensity of modern fires requires a new playbook.
