Do you believe in climate change?

So we're making cars cheaper. So many people have told me that cars are too expensive, so we're making them cheaper no one else could have done that.

It can and anyone not taking precautions or throwing lit butts out a car window can fuck themselves sideways...

but i was a forest fire fighter for two years. It takes perfect conditions for a cig to be able to start a fire even in dry grass.

His point there (however many fractions of a second it lasted) was actually correct. "The forests are covered in dead trees"

They are. I did lots of ecology field work in college in Colorado and it's true, the forests in the west are extremely unhealthy due to poor management. The moose and elk and bears can't even walk through a lot of these areas, they're ecological deserts all thanks to humans.

Yeah part of it's caused by this crazy thing called climate change.

To say "climate change is causing these awful wildfires" is really dodging the issue. Without climate change there would still be massive fires raging across the west every season, because the USFS has never admitted its mistakes and the residents won't accept small fires as part of the environment they live in.

I didn't say it was entirely because of climate change. But the rising global temperature makes it worse.

While his way of voicing it was stupid(imagine that) he isn't necessarily wrong.

I'm not a climate change denier and I'm not saying climate change plays no role in things like the fires out west. But California is also victim to poor forrest management. Forest fires happen naturally, and they should happen. They haven't been happening as they should for probably a 100 years or more now. Which means there's a large amount of built up tinder on the forest floors, which is why fires are so violent and unstoppable when they do get going.

Exactly. I was actually floored to hear trump say that, but seconds later he was making no sense and blaming china

Ehh

I hate to defend Trump but he is kinda right. He is exaggerating with his nonsense but dead trees and poor forest care are what are causing the fires

You think America is the only nation with climate change?

No?

Then why isn't every forest on fire? Because they take care of their forests

"Climate change is real and dangerous " and "Poor forest care is what is causing the fires in America " aren't contradictory statements They are both true
