Christ, you doubled down on the stupid with this one, didn't you? Ask any fire fighter who's ever fought a major wildfire if they think another ~30 trucks worth of dudes wouldn't have made a difference – even if it only meant a few more minutes of break time per person before they have to head back in.
You’re wondering where AKDR is?
He’s busy writing “Sharknado: The Prequel!”
Comes as no surprise that some 'clown' would come in here with the climate change bullshit.
And no surprise as to who it was.
The usual thread destroyer who infests threads, and makes them all about him/her.
Typical of an invasive species.
Well here's a sample of your climate change, boy.
That home depot torch will change the climate every time.
Like I said, the seasonal fires have been around long before gore invented the term.

He's another who, non stop shitposts, and never really says anything.
But he mouths off on pretty much every topic about a nation he's not part of.
As this disater enters the recovery/rebuilding phase, mark my word,
People will soon realize that the government isn't going to be there to help.
It's going to be private citizens, private companies, volunteer groups from organizations of all kinds.
People will help each other out.
It's what we do.
That's exactly what's been happening in N.Carolina, and east Tennessee.
Church groups.
Hiker groups.
The 4x4 community.
Nascar.
Lowes.
Home depot.
The Amish community.
And various other commercial businesses.
All are in elbows deep in helping people in need.
And aside from the wealthy 'celebrities' that the media wants your heart to bleed for, there's lots of people who will need that help.
And they'll be receiving it from places far outside the state.
That's what's been happening around here.
(And BTW, very little looting around here. We can all shoot the wings off a fly at quite a long range, from anything within our arsenal, or on our hip)
If you think that there is a huge difference between cancelled and 'refuse to renew' then i think you may be part of the problem.
Well, there is a difference. One would be breaking a contract. Legal ramifications for that. The other would be not entering into a new contract after the current one runs its course. Not illegal.
But ya - insurance is generally a racket.
Its the same scenario in Florida…State Farm Ins. Will not write new homeowners Insurance coverage. They know the potential for a disaster of this magnitude is real. The politicians failed to sit down with the Insurance industry and hammer out resolutions…much higher rates but at least it would have been available……I would think moving forward new housing developments would have their own water sources, like water towers, and building materials , and surrounding materials should be all non flammable…metal, brick, concrete ect. Heartbreaking to see what these people are going through…
Alright which Vitard was flying a drone around? You fucked up our plane eh

Holy shit, has hell frozen over?!
The government (humans) got the farmers (also humans) to do something unnatural to that area of the environment which – as set up by the drought – triggered a radical change to the climate (the dust bowl).
I couldn't agree more!
So fucked up...
But, yet another perfect example of while we're all technically "human", the difference between man and monkey isn't a light switch... it's a dimmer.
You think you have any idea of who I am based on my interactions with a dozen people who, like yourself, endlessly refuse to answer any of my questions out of a deep-seeded fear that you'd ever find yourself having to admit you were wrong about anything so you follow me from thread to thread pathetically attempting to insult me like a gaggle of attention starved 12 year old girls?
You wanna see pretentious narcissism? Look in a mirror.
The Dust Bowl wasn't a "radical change to the climate," you smug clown.
Part of the natural "climate" of the plains states is droughts every quarter century (that's 25 years for you Biden supporters). Farming techniques leading into a (naturally occurring) drought led to loss of topsoil. Those techniques were discontinued, the (naturally occurring) drought ended, and so did the loss of topsoil. Subsequent (naturally occurring) droughts haven't seen a return of a Dust Bowl because farming techniques changed, not because (naturally occurring) droughts in that region no longer occur.
Yeah, you should watch the documentary or read a book on the dust bowl, you don't know fuck all about what you're talking about... you smug clown.
Have a great day!

"Nu uh!!"
It's not my fault you can't even understand what you're writing.

AKA, humans fucked up the ground, the dust bowl happened (which hadn't happened before, thus how we only talk about "the one dust bowl"), humans learned that they can have an effect on the climate, so they adjusted their farming techniques to prevent future dustbowls.
It's quite easy to understand who you are from your comments on this board.
The up votes vs. down votes indicate many others on this board also understand who you are.
You're getting schooled on the dust bowl, and on climate change, and your only defenses are senseless rambling and delusional tangents.
Pit Row
Of course you're someone who puts stock in the thumbs up / thumbs down feature.
It all makes so much sense now.
Translation:
If you had the very limited info I had, and didn't do any further research, you would agree with me.
My guess is the square pooper will claim to have lived on the plains as a dryland farmer and knows all about the farming techniques because he saw they were incorrect and implemented some radical changes that made his farm so productive and environmentally friendly that he taught his neighbors, but he became bored and decided to give the farm away to a needy minority family so he could pursue one of his many, many other talents.
Guuuuurl, you're going to get so many likes with this response and we both know how much you love them likes!
Digital high five!!!!
Timber is just the start of it. It's sawn and kiln-dried timber, some of the houses were old, so kiln-dried timber standing and drying for another 100 years past what it was when it left the mill. The there's the plywood, osb, particle board, mdf, that goes into buildings- dry wood chips and sawdust held together with adhesives and treated with formaldehyde and such all flammable and toxic Then there's all the various plastics and various construction adhesives, paints, etc, that go into finishing the stickframe into a house. Then there's the things in the building, furnishings, all your toys, curios, etc, plastic and wood, mostly, and many powered by flammable batteries. Then there's the gasoline and diesel and natural gas that's in the house and garage. On top, if the power is still on, electricity running through all of it. Yeah, a house is pretty flammable.
It's you that doesn't understand what I'm writing. You're a classic narcissist, using every interaction as a mirror.
The Dust Bowl didn't change the climate, it was a result of human actions within the existing climate. The climate that existed before, during, and after the Dust Bowl could lead to another one if those human actions hadn't changed.
Wildfires from droughts in Southern California have been occurring for as long as Southern California has been a thing. There is no human action that will prevent them. The only thing humans could do is change how they mitigate damage from those wildfires.
I've read that reservoirs used for firefighting were drained, that probably wasn't a good decision. If there wasn't a large-scale land-clearing program near the forest/residential interface after the last massive fire season, that also wasn't a good decision.
Somebody needs to fact check David Muirs physique 🙄
"The Dust Bowl didn't change the climate,"
No shit, Sherlock. The Dust Bowl was the change of climate.
"it (the dust bowl) was a result of human actions within the existing climate."
Exactly! Humans fucked up and it resulted in the climate going from a season wind to the extreme Dust Bowl.
"The climate that existed before, during, and after the Dust Bowl could lead to another one if those human actions hadn't changed."
Exactly! Humans realized we fucked up, we saw the effects our actions had on nature, and learned from it. WE SAW WE COULD EFFECT THE CLIMATE AND LEARNED FROM IT!

We can't stop fired but but we can do things to prevent the environment and climate from getting to a place where the fires are as extreme as they've become... just like we learned to do with farming after we fucked up and created the dust bowl.

Two great examples of things humans could do to help change environment in order to control the damaging effects of nature.
You're literally making my own argument to me!
Yeah, he’s catching hell for that. Lol
He’s another smug bastard.
Ur such a douche
I wouldn't call Vet a douche.
I'd say he's more excitable and passionate.
How old are you? Seriously?
It’s like I said from the beginning you are an adolescent. Most likely with acne.
A better example, considering the size of our atmosphere, would be to strike a match in the center of the Superdome and see if that affects the climate.
