You've been lied to. Tell the liar that he can't lie to someone who can open his door and smell the smoke.
I stopped at one crazy idea and one lie. I'm not a masochist. Deal with the reality that prescribed burns have never been stopped, are ongoing and then get back to me.
Read bud. Don’t listen to your fake news comrades and Gavin Newsome. Key paragraphs…..
“The Forest Service wants to use scientific management techniques—including logging, prescribed burns, and thinning—to treat forest fuel loads, but it is continuously thwarted by environmental activists who want to let nature take her course.
Environmentalists use administrative procedures and litigation to stop projects that would reduce fuel loads, claiming that those projects are no substitute for natural processes and that they destroy habitat for endangered species.
According to a 2015 study commissioned by the Forest Service and done by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana, between June 2012 and June 2013 administrative appeals and litigation encumbered 74 out of 125 of the proposed treatment projects in Northern Region 1—the region where many of this year's fires burned.“
Here is a paragraph or two about the delta smelt. They (California) restrict how much water can be pulled because of this fish……..
“For California farmers with thousands of acres to irrigate and millions of dollars on the line, the smelt are in the way – the state listed the species as endangered in 2009, and in effect constrained how much water can be pulled from the delta.
Now, the creatures caught in the crossfire of the state’s water wars have all but disappeared, and biologists worry that newly empowered forces within the Trump administration could usher them into oblivion.”
“In response to the federal government’s chipping away of protections for endangered fish, environmental and fishing industry groups have banded together to sue the federal government, as well, alleging that fewer protections for smelt, steelhead trout, and Chinook salmon will devastate the delta ecosystem and commercial fisheries will be the collateral.”

Yes California prescribe burns lol. They are stopped some and slowed often. They want to burn 400,000 acres a year and only get 1/4 of that between the weather and litigation.
They like to claim that the Feds stop burning yet they sue to stop them constantly.
This is called THE REST OF THE STORY aka Paul Harvey syndrome.
