Dem's Radical Environmental Policy is Killing Thousands and Destroying California Air Quality and Woodlands

How ironic since these fools believe they are the ones trying to save the planet!

Dems have a long running ploy of accusing GOP policy of killing people.  Nancy Pelosi is famous for the laughable claim that GOP health care plans meant that "millions, hundreds of thousands - of people will die if this bill passes." Since ObamaCare/PelosiCare actually raised deductibles so high that people couldn't afford to use Dem's so-called insurance the joke was on us. How many died because they couldn't afford the deductible?

More recently newly minted gaffe machine Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who just won election to Congress though no one knows why insisted that "people will die" unless we take drastic action to address the over-hyped issue of climate change. That despite the NASA document showing that global temperatures the last two years have gone down and that extreme weather events are no where near the epic scaremongering practiced by Cortez and the great fraudsters of global warming. But don't tell Rep-elect Cortez that. She's "unapologetic about what [she] believes." Even if it's wrong.

Meanwhile, the same media that mocked Sarah Palin gives Ocasio-Cortez star treatment. She would win an Oscar for being a clown.

CA Wildfires a left wing production


The usual suspects have been hopping up and down trying to blame the California wildfires on global warming. When Trump points out that the fires are caused by bad environmental policies imposed by the left they hop even madder. But the facts speak for themselves. First, for the puppets who insist that fires are worse now than ever before, the federal government actually keeps records of such things. While the total acreage burned this year is yet to be tallied, past records show many years previously with large losses. No correlation to climate change at all.

Worse than the disinformation is the active campaign to suppress good forest management. Rep. Tom McClintock has proposed a bill titled the Resilient Federal Forests Act. Three years ago when he first brought his bill up he said:
REP. MCCLINTOCK: Excess timber comes out of the forest one way or the other. It is either carried out or it is burned out.

When we carried it out, we had healthy forests and a thriving economy.

We managed our National Forests according to well-established and time-tested forest management practices that prevented vegetation and wildlife from overgrowing the ability of the land to support it. Revenues from the sale of excess timber provided for prosperous local economies and a steady stream of revenues to the treasury which could, in turn, be used to further improve the public lands.

But 40 years ago, in the name of saving the environment, we consigned our national forests to a policy of benign neglect.

The results are all around us today: impoverished mountain communities and a devastated environment.
That devastation continues today and Democrats persist in doing everything they can to fight the passage of this bill. California continues to burn. It's not just a problem with federal policy but state policy in California too. Once again, radical environmentalists and Governor Brown led the way to more charred landscapes and death:
In 2016, Governor Brown vetoed a bipartisan wildfire management bill that had unanimously passed the state Assembly and Senate. For decades, radical environmentalists have demanded – and legislators, regulators and judges have approved – “wildlands preservation” and “fires are natural” policies. Tree thinning has been banned, resulting in thousands of skinny, fire-susceptible trees growing where only a few hundred should be present. Even removing diseased, dead and burned trees has been prohibited.
For more, see this excellent overview of the problem comes from California native Krystina Skurk at the Federalist.

Interior secretary Ryan Zinke didn't hold back:
"I will lay this on the foot of those environmental radicals that have prevented us from managing the forests for years. And you know what? This is on them."
The CO2 released into the atmosphere by these fires is the equivalent of over 1 million automobiles driving for a year. The degradation of air quality caused by other pollutants will have a huge impact on public health. Democrat environmental polices are killing people and destroying the land. Another case of left wing good intentions good catastrophically bad!
