Chuck is on to something. He shares the empathy of all of us for California. It's natural to discuss what-ifs and why after tragedy. Fires and floods where people live is a complex social issue. For many reasons---taxes, privacy, exclusivity, aesthetics, improved social structures etc---we continue to spread out over flood plains and forest tinder boxes and build communities under airport runway approaches and complain of the noise. I don't think it has to come to concrete bunkers for those who want to live among trees. Why does it have to be towering pines? A carefully culled renewable resource of smaller pines would be safer and as pleasing from any perspective. A municipal by-law would do it.
King, tell them how your organization supported clear-cutting on a massive scale in order to feed
over 2000 tons of wood chips per day into a 65 megawatt biomass wood-burning power plant at the New Page pulp mill. Now if Kalifornia would do things like that instead of buying all of those Chinese solar panels and electric cars, they might be better off, eh?

Man-made Global Warming was supposed to raise temperatures and cause prolonged droughts, but much of the U.S. is cooler and much wetter than normal. We are told to ignore reality and what our own eyes tell us. The Weatherman on the News last week said we have already shattered the record for precipitation with over a month to go in 2018. But brainless idiots like nca225 refuse to dismiss the propaganda and lies from their Liberal puppeteers:

But they aren't, are they? And humans didn't even exist at that time either, so who do we blame for that? If dinosaurs had only driven Prius's, they might still be here.
And if you can make it all the way to the end of this article (don't even try nca225), it will be seen that the correlation between CO2 levels and temperatures over the last 400,000 years being used to support the Global Warming propaganda from the Liberal Left is cherry-picking data at its' finest:
