The Trump Administration

100 mph fire winds are totally normal, and all states should be prepared to handle them immediately.... Or, maybe the fact that we're seeing weather phenomena that we've almost never seen before indicates climate change is an actual thing? Nooooo, it couldn't be...
 
Santa Ana winds occur 10-25 times annually in the fall and winter; wind speeds 30-60 MPH, with gust over 70. Doesn’t make a lot of difference if winds are 30, 60 or 100 if there has been very little fire prevention or water to extinguish fires that occur.

Climate change……LOL

Who's deflecting? You said and I quote: "No hydrant water in LA to fight surging fires despite record snow caps the last two years bc intent on saving the smelt fish."

Your statement is false, the intent to save the smelt fish did not create a water shortage per the sources quoted in the article. I'm quoting you and disputing that statement, are you denying making it? Look at your own post.

To answer your question that you posed on a totally different issue, I can't fault government every time there's a natural disaster that's overwhelming. Do you blame Desantis for government hurricane policy when Florida gets clobbered by a hurricane? There was no water shortage. There was no pressure in some hydrants because the pumps had been cut off because the electricity powering the pumps had to be shut off due to the risk of additional fires sparking from the electrical lines. And the demand in certain areas overhwelmed the system, I don't think the urban water system in any city in this country is equipped to handle wildfires of this magnitude when fueled by hurricane force winds and the dry conditions. Getting water to the fires was a problem, but not due to water shortage as you claim and not due to any government shortcomings in my opinion. From what I've read, most knowledgeable people say nothing that the firefighters could have done, even with all the hydrants working, would have stopped these wildfires from causing most if not all of the destruction that has occurred.
Long Time, believe you to be correct that the smelt fish played a small part in the debacle. Your sources superior to mine. Would never intentionally spread misinformation (a subject rich for further exchange of views).

Misses the point though. Regardless of cause, many hydrants had no pressure. This was a failure of government. The article you attached states clearly that this cost some folks their homes.

"On Friday, Newsom confirmed Trump's claim that there had been no water for some fire hydrants, which hampered the emergency response. Losing supplies from fire hydrants likely impaired the effort to protect some homes and evacuation corridors, he wrote."

So you don't think climate change is a real thing. Got it. Next, let's debate what 2+2 is.

Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time. Man made climate change, to which you reference…LOL. . Santa Ana winds have been occurring since recorded weather history, tell me which man made climate change happened to create this annually reoccurring event.

And while you explain that, also explain how man made climate change created El Niño.

Right, there's definitely no difference in the first million years of humans on earth when there were only natural elements and the last couple hundred, when we've filled the atmosphere with chemicals and pollution. Totally logically argument.
