California has the best arsonists in the world!!
They go by code names such as PG&E, State Gov't and others that haven't been decoded yet but the biden admin, fbi, cia, and blm are on the case and will revert back to us.
Arson plays a huge role but you cant discount California's piss poor Forest Management.

annnnnnnd pedos, too!
Imagine that
Down around Houston it is a humid heat.
We don’t have humidity here in California. 115 temps in the summer and extremely dry. Very good kindling for these arsons.
and Santa Ana winds
Fact Checkers: If we cut that second part down a little...
"Our climate is not the same as California. It's much hotter/drier here than in Californi"
Ok good. I made my $1.42 for the day...
There are more people in CA, though.
They even found one to burn right in the middle of NYC in December.
Nice!
No, but you are likely to have more nutcases nearby.
They set the fires to get federal relief funds.
I remember Trump saying something like "Manage your forests better, California. You aint getting any money from us."
I'm paraphrasing of course
He was criticized for saying CA should rake their forests because most people thought he meant the common garden rake... but he was talking about using heavy machinery like this https://climatefeedback.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Postphoto.jpg
From what I've read, they don't do controlled fires anymore which leads to more fires during the dry season, leading to landslide and further deforestation. So smart and environmentally thoughtful /s
My maskie friends assure me that forest management is a conspiracy theory Trump made up one day for no reason.
This- grew up in 70s and 80s in Cali. There used to be these things called firebreaks. They were like 20ft (?) wide and looked like and were logging roads. You could see them in the hills/mtns. These kept the fires from being carried by heavy winds like the Santa Ana's, into the neighboring forests and neighborhoods. The environmental idiots put and end to them, and the result is more and worse seasonal fires. A dragging trailer chain on asphalt starts a shit-ton of fires.
Not incompetent just corrupt
I don't know how many they caught in CA but they arrested almost 200 people for starting forest fires in Australia in 2019 so yeah, the drive to manufacture the climate change agenda is strong. So strong, they have morons out in force starting fires. Which tells you the CC agenda is a critical factor to their power consolidation.
Terrain plays a huge factor in driving fires. Not saying shady shit to start fires to blame "climate change" doesn't happen. Just pointing out Texas is flat and without constant wind, fires don't drive themselves as much as they do when terrain is part of the equation.
Yes, and the forested areas of Texas are that way for a reason: lots of regular rainfall.
This and gobby's comment. It's kind of a silly comparison he's endorsing.
gotta' be the cow farts!
And Alaska has more than both California and Texas combined. Same deal.
I grew up in California around all the beautiful forests. I have been living in Texas for 5 years now and have yet to see a single forest. Sure, we have wooded areas here, but forests? Where are all these Texan forests? Please tell me I want to go camping in them!
Drive out east around Tyler, then head southeast towards Nacogdoches and Lufkin, nothing but forests and logging.
The piney woods in the east.
I’m in NE TX and it’s all forest less the land cleared for pasturing beef cattle. And then just N of me is Oklahoma. People envision this as an arid sagebrush place but it is actually a majority of forested mountain ranges for the entire 2/3rd’s of its Eastern boundaries. Go figure! Cartoons from my childhood had me envisioning an entirely different OK and TX.
Texas is bigger than the four miles you can see to the horizon.
Texas also didnt stupidly plant a bunch of flammable Eucalyptus plants in their state.
California gave in to the environment lobby and refuses to allow logging and clearing of dead underbrush and trees. So instead of allowing loggers to use the trees for lumber, they let it go up in smoke every single year. Not smart, but that's CA in a nutshell.
We had a forest fire 5 years ago in East Texas. I live on a small cattle ranch. The fire burned up to our slightly over grazed pasture. We were a natural fire line. Loggers and fire fighters had the fire out quickly by plowing fire lanes with v blade dozers and lots of planes dumping water. Our biggest industry is wood. We grow trees and manage forests. In 1981 I worked for a major wood products company. Their projections had East Texas running out of logs by 1986. We have two new plants and lots of timber in 2022.
https://fee.org/articles/forest-fires-aren-t-at-historic-highs-in-the-united-states-not-even-close/ California’s wildfires are a serious matter, but the official record of the United States shows forest fires in the US today are far below the annual average in the 1930s and 1940s.
It’s all a scam. Gov starts the fires.
Live in deep woods of Texas. Have to say, we have excellent forestry managment here. Fire towers, helicopters on stand by, control burns, everything, out in the middle of BFN.
Less fires in Texas kuz rednecks with gunz, plus the nwo & cal.gov are burning towns & private land owners off their land. That shit would start a serious gun fight in Texas
Higher average humidity and rainfall more dispersed throughout the year.
Air temperature is a minor factor in affecting fire behavior. Relative humidity is far more influential. California is dryer, and receives almost all it annual rainfall December through April. No significant, if any, rain the rest of the year.
Plus California is a lot more mountainous. Terrain also influences fire behavior.
Yeah, that or many fires are deliberately set so California can get FEMA money to pay for their liberal illegal social and immigration policies. Occam’s razor!
Disaster capitalism
They don’t allow controlled burns in California so there is tons of brush to fuel fires. It’s to protect the wild boar and the environment.
If they committed arson in Texas like California it adversely affects too many illegal alien voters for the Cabal's taste.
Alaska too.
Oh lord. Its out in the open now. Texas is foooked. Now thr lasers will rain down on Texas.
California was duped into buying tons of Eucalyptus trees from Australia at a certain point. Eucalyptus trees are strange in that their seeds only germinate after being on fire. I like to think that this is the butterfly effect that causes their frequent forest fires.
California has PG&E and their failing electric infrastructure in favor of lavish payouts to employees and top brass and residents are paying their legal fees with high price increases
SSHHH ... Don't jinx it!
It's like inviting someone to start a fire.
California has more miles of power line per tree than anywhere else in the world. It has been determined, by the State of California, that the State of California will cause cancer.
Texas has no deserts and mountains a big difference. However their policies are more conservative and not trying to steal money by declaring a state of emergency then doing nothing about it.
Oh yea? Where might that be?
Ever been to El Paso? Guadalupe Moutains? Ffs
No to be honest I've only flown in Dallas Fort Worth. So are you a Texan?
Yes I live in the piney woods about 2 hours east of Dallas. I used to live in the desert near El Paso.
It boggles my mind that people don't realize that forest fires don't just magically start by themselves except for maybe the rare lightning strike unaccompanied by rain, otherwise I'd bet the main cause is lit cigarettes being chucked out the window while driving and then people like that lefty professor that got caught starting them
