The man who commanded California’s response to the state’s worst ever bushfire, says Australians and Americans must accept that climate change has caused a dangerous “new normal” in bushfire behaviour

Where once it was abnormal for the fire season in southern and northern California to overlap, now it was overlapping in the southern and northern hemispheres, he said on Tuesday.in his role as a councillor on the Climate Council, to discuss the impact of climate change on wildfires in both states. He said the two agreed that their experience was nearly identical.

At the start of the decade it was normal for Cal Fire to spend about half a billion each year in emergency funds on top of its base funding in fighting fires, Mr Pimlott said. But over the past couple of years the state has been spending around a billion dollars. California is also expanding its fleet of heavy air tankers and updating its helicopters with Blackhawks with night-flying capability.

“California truly recognises climate change but it is not necessarily recognised at the federal level, particularly under the current administration."

Fake a News alert

Can you said this bloke back where he came from please..

Bullshit

Lol, the cult.

Fake news

California also has record numbers of homeless, highest state taxes and legalised marijuana. Now is denial over forest management and hazard reduction. Seriously woke!

If we start back burning the first row of houses we can potentially save the other blocks.

Fire is not new. Are you covering record low temperatures for November we are having in about 40% of USA tonight?

But the last 3 major California fires are lit by PG&E Electricity company. Is there is scientific proof / white papers / thesis that directly points to climate change being the cause of bushfires? This sounds like full UN agenda garbage dribbled out by the pleb journo's

You’d think With the power of prayer Hillsong and Scomo could end these fires by tonight.
