Trump doesn't care if wildfires destroy the west – it didn't vote for him

Well if the cause of the fires in California, Oregon, and Washington is not forest management then we can only assume that either:
  • Climate Change stops at the Canadian border
  • Arsonists stop at the Canadian border.
So which is it?

Of course.... you are ignoring all the California state government documents which state their poor forest management practices led to the devastating fires in recent years and will lead to move devastating fires in future years.

why does it fall on the state's budget to forest manage federal lands?
 
Reverse image search that fire map and its from The Sun.

The fucking Loch Ness monster on the cover of the National Enquirer is as credible. As someone said in the comments, probably the data is set to just US but also.. The aforementioned weather differences this year plus the covid restrictions this year on Canada meaning far fewer out to start fires.

Plus, the federal government controls nearly all the forests that are not private.

Why did the state of California reject allowing the federal government to clear brush and perform controlled burns on Federal lands within California for over 30 years?

This is not a matter of the state paying for it. The Feds would have paid for it. Now that California has finally signed a joint agreement in August 2020 allowing the Feds to perform these operations -- I hope there is some improvement in future years.

...Need to return to controlled burning, or at least to establish more firebreaks. The Sierra Club put an end to all of that, but the larger implications are upon us now.

I wonder how many spotted owls died in the wake of this, since it was caused by trying to save the spotted owl.

I really hate the spotted fucking owl.

Go read all the state documents from California that I posted earlier in this thread. They lay out the entire tragedy of not signing an agreement with the Feds for decades in damning detail — as well as all the regulations & policies that California implemented that caused this crisis.
