A look at the carbon emissions and destruction of habitat because of the focus on policies based on virtue-signalling and pseudoscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted by Leslie Eastman<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The continuous stream of news from the Great Los Angeles fire is heart-breaking, and the images are gut-wrenching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when the smoke clears and the recovery operations begin, I hope that not only do the insidious \u201cDiversity-Equity-Inclusion\u201d policies that led to inept leadership in critical civic positions are jettisoned\u2026.but also the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d policies are terminated quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, our elite media continue to press the \u201cconsensus\u201d that this fire is the direct result of \u201cclimate change\u201d.<\/a>  For example, this gem is from the Associated Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It began with millions of people across the U.S. shivering amid blizzard conditions and frigid air that lasted for days, thanks to a jet stream that slips out of its usual path more often these days. Then, catastrophe in California, with wind-whipped flames taking off in a landscape parched by months of drought to become Los Angeles\u2019 worst-ever wildfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cap it off, major weather monitoring agencies confirmed 2024 as the hottest year in global history. Even more dire, four of the six agencies said it was the first full year Earth went beyond a warming threshold seen as critical to limiting the worst effects of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to one wild week of the climate crisis, scientists say. There will be more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I am delighted to report that this inanity is being ratioed, which gives me hope that this disaster will put a stake in the heart of climate cult pseudoscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issues with the Santa Inez reservoir, which was supposed to provide water for fighting the Palisades fire, include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 The reservoir ran out of water very quickly, just 3 hours into firefighting efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 The reservoir normally holds 117 million gallons of water, but\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/3c26LJXcnc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess the term \u201cclimate change\u201d might be correct if it means poor decisions being made by virtue-signalling eco-activists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It wasn\u2019t a partisan impasse that didn\u2019t upgrade water collection & firefighting infrastructure for decades, ignore forest management, empty reservoirs during fire season, or cut funds to first responders. https:\/\/t.co\/PkhjvkjTch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have touched on several disastrous decisions made by local and state leaders already, and blog space is limited. There will be a whole catalog of failures to analyze, and thanks to X.com, the elite media can no longer protect its preferred bureaucrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this piece, I would like to note how all of these climate-cult choices have utterly ruined the natural environment and wildlife habitats in the Greater Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, California has been leading the charge on electrical vehicle mandates and ending the use of fossil fuels, because human emissions of carbon dioxide (a life-essential trace gas found in trace amounts within the atmosphere) are supposedly causing \u201cglobal warming\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on water infrastructure, revising forest management choices, or funding fire departments, bureaucrats focused on nanny-state rules. As a result, millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent have been released into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to share some numbers to put it in perspective: The 2020 California fire season released approximately 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide<\/a> equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those fires completely wiped away any emissions savings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A nearly two-decade effort by Californians to cut their emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide may have been erased by a single, devastating year of wildfires, according to UCLA and University of Chicago researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s record-breaking 2020 fire season, which saw more than 4 million acres burn, spewed almost twice the tonnage of greenhouse gases as the total amount of carbon dioxide reductions made since 2003, according to a study published recently in the journal Environmental Pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers estimated that about 127 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent were released by the fires, compared with about 65 million metric tons of reductions achieved in the previous 18 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Great Los Angeles Fire is still burning, so I don\u2019t have a final number to share with you. However, because it is an urban fire, carbon dioxide isn\u2019t the only emission. The smoke includes toxic cyanide and sulfur compounds, deadly carbon monoxide, and carcinogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the next time California\u2019s eco-activist regulators want to gut emissions for your SUV or take away your gas stove, tell them to sit back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect of this destruction that has yet to be considered is the horrendous impact on wildlife. Many of the awful policy choices regarding water in this state have been related to protecting fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of these choices, many of the region\u2019s iconic animal species are now suffering<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Animals try their best to move out of the direct path of the fire while remaining close to home if they cannot find refuge during wildfires, Stephanie Eyes, a senior wildlife biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\u2019s (FWS) Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office, noted in an October 2022 article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026\u201dWildlife is incredibly resilient,\u201d Eyes said, noting that \u201cCalifornia has a long history with wildfire, and many species adapted to endure it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was working in Yosemite [the national park], there was a female California spotted owl who weathered several wildfires. We were always concerned about her, but she would still be there, year-after-year,\u201d the biologist recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, during a \u201chigh-severity fire,\u201d which burns across a large forest landscape, moving fast and climbing through the tree canopy, finding refuge can be challenging for animals in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWildlife have adapted to deal with smaller fires, and unfortunately, sometimes they can\u2019t escape these recent, big fires,\u201d Eyes said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Arguably, the Palisades and Eaton fires are \u201chigh-intensity\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many supporters of sensible climate science policies have gone into great depth about the realities<\/a> of climate change because of these fires. However, this is the first time I recall \u201cclimate crisis\u2019 propaganda posts being so heavily ratioed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope it is not too late to save the remaining natural areas of beauty in this state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
