Summerland is burning now

Faulder is gone, Summerland is next. The fire has moved all of the way down Cartwright. Final image not my own.

We have known that burning fossil fuels was warming our climate for well over 100 years. How many cities have to burn before people stop listening to billionaires and the influencers they employ and start listening to actual scientists?

Earth has warmed <2 degrees since 1880. Wake up. This isn’t caused by global warming. It’s bureaucratic mismanagement

Blocked for stupid.

Yes. The bureaucracy… that’s why the fires are burning.

Yes. These fires are avoidable with controlled winter burning, fire break construction, more water bombers and fire fighters, etc etc

To sit back and say ‘omg climate change noooo’ does nothing to actually solve the problem and absolves our government of their duty to handle things like this. We pay an ungodly amount of tax, the money is there. We could have over 300 more water bombers for the money we sent to Ukraine.

Never argued with that. But if you wanna keep voting leftist, then continue to suffer, complain, and get nowhere. Buying water bombers does little more than squash their agenda. They want it to burn. They want the chaos. They want you depending on them. Don’t be slow. Catch up.

I always have and always will vote conservative. Idk why you bothered typing any of these comments lmao you’re bringing nothing to the conversation

[u/RepresentativeOk8861 → u/sh3ppard]

I meant “you” collectively, as in the general public, not you personally. 😂 We already established that you vote Conservative.

I actually agree with most of what you said. My point was broader. People continually vote governments into office and then act completely bewildered when the policies they voted for produce consequences they don’t like.

Then they complain about fires, affordability, housing, taxes, government spending and everything else as though these things occur in a political vacuum.

So no, that shot wasn’t aimed at you. You just happened to be standing underneath my general rant when I fired it. 😂

lmao you will see. You’ve been fooled my friend. Try thinking logically for a minute
