Jerry Brown Blames Trump, Republicans for California Fires: ‘The Blood Is on Your Soul’

Former California Governor Jerry Brown told Congress on Tuesday that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party were responsible for the ongoing California fires because of their opposition to drastic climate change policies.

“California’s burning while the deniers make a joke out of the standards that protect us all,” Brown told the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, as quoted by the San Francisco Chronicle. “The blood is on your soul here and I hope you wake up. Because this is not politics, this is life, this is morality. … This is real.”

Brown was testifying against efforts by the Trump administration to rescind California’s waiver that previously allowed it to set its own emissions standards for vehicles — effectively giving the state control of the entire auto industry. The administration argues that California’s policy is actually worse for the environment because higher standards make new cars — which are more energy-efficient than old cars — more difficult for consumers to buy.

If the future has any honest man alive, he will surely mark this era of scapegoating as totally psychotic.

This is, and will be, beyond humor.

All I hear is waaah, Waaah waaah, bullchit. He was told years ago the lines needed to be buried, but they want windmills and solar, so ya know what, it's your mud puddle. Instead of forest management. You are afraid to cut 1000 trees to save 1000s of acres. Woller, in it fools. Burn baby burn

The fires help mitigate warming.
It works the same way as the nano particulate aluminum that is sprayed into the atmosphere on purpose.
It blocks the sun's rays / energy from reaching the surface.

California Politians are responsible for the fires. They have refused to clean up after these fires which means they leave the debris from the fires instead of cleaning up this mess. They have no forest conservation and cleanup. they have not put these high power lines underground and other environmental plans / practices.

Desperation by the left is so unbecoming...while their policies kill innocent Americans and cause economic havoc. It's time to pull the plug on leftist idiots.

CrazyFornia put Governor Moonbeam back in office for a second series of terms. His policies and his preferences over an extended period of time set the stage for the cascading problems slamming his former constituents. History will not be kind to him, if recounted accurately.
