The California wildfires..made worse by man made global warming...a relevant chart.

Well seeing that more people cause a larger carbon footprint and then adding your assertion that increased CO2 causes an increase in temperature then the solution to California's problem is obvious - Deport all the illegal immigrants and the temperature will drop.

No, fossil fuels cause the carbon footprint.

its not just their use of fuels ... but immigrants due increase their use of fossil fuels dramatically.

an immigrants carbon footprint can rise ten fold. Especially if they use air conditioning or work with people in Futurecurrents industry.

So illegal immigrants don't have cars, don't have refrigerators, don't use AC. Sounds like you are making assumptions associating their race with extreme poverty.

So illegal immigrants don't have cars, .

Oh, they have cars. Who they might belong to is a sensitive question.

This is the poor thinking that leads to a lifetime of cleaning air ducts.

Hows it going out there @RRY16 ?
I assume you're OK since you're still posting.
Thats good.
It looks like these fires mean business this time.
You better go check on your neighbor Lugar.

The winds are gnarly but it's still 20 miles from me, lots of horse ranches in the zone so they are trying to round them up, if it keeps heading west towards the ocean look out. Camp Pendleton is in the path so the marines will get involved soon. Lugar got banned so he's down in Tijuana Ho chasing.

I saw the imagery from the Space Station feed and yeah it looks like Pendleton is right there. Not a lot there to slow the fire down either.
San Luis Rey Downs is basically opening the stable doors and just turning $100,000 + racehorses loose to flee for themselves. http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wir...losed-southern-california-fire-rages-51643676

You DO relaize that cali -along with the rest of the world is getting warmer? And that warmer means dryer? And that insects from the south are moving in and stressing trees causing more dead fuel? That one wet year doesn't erase the effects of previous drought on the trees?

Man made global warming is certainly accentuating nearly all the recent weather based disasters, from the hurricanes to the droughts to the floods(warm air holds more moisture) and of course seas are rising due to this also.

And it's only just starting. It will be getting much worse.

But, you said climate change causes more rain.

 

[futurecurrents]

But, you said climate change causes more rain.

In single precip events, which is not the same as more rain per year. So there can be droughts and floods at the same time. Understand?

igure 1. Extreme One-Day Precipitation Events in the Contiguous 48 States, 1910–2015

This figure shows the percentage of the land area of the contiguous 48 states where a much greater than normal portion of total annual precipitation has come from extreme single-day precipitation events. The bars represent individual years, while the line is a nine-year weighted average.
