https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/california-fires-camp-woolsey-containment-evacuations-death-toll-2018-11-14-live-updates/Anyone who doesn't understand that forest fires are made
WORSE by a "speeding up of the hydrological cycle" in a warming planet ...... needs to re-visit their high school science books. As temperatures warm, water evaporates more quickly .... thus taking away water from the ground and from plants more quickly than before. The dryer the ground and the plants .... the greater the damage that will happen during forest fires.
NOT ROCKET SCIENCE ........ even a finance guy could understand this basic science.
However ..... since I
AM a finance guy ..... I understand that
SIGNIFICANT $$$$$ are going to be spent
NOW and in future years dealing with the
OUTCOME of global warming, rather than spending
FEWER DOLLARS UPFRONT PREVENTING THE BAD OUTCOME IN THE FIRSTPLACE.That is why I register and
THINK as an Independent .... rather than a Republican .... because the Republican party is
NOT FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE. They are owned by the lobbyists. Sorry to interject "politics" here ... but I think it is important for people to realize what
REAL FISCAL responsibility is all about. And that some policies that are considered
"PROGRESSIVE" ARE ALSO FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE (dealing with global warming and single payor healthcare being just two of them).
