    If Dubai cloud seeded & made it rain a few weeks ago, how come they dont do it in times like these??

    After working in forestry for over thirty years, I know a little about fires and forest management to keep them at a minimum. AND CALIFORNIA? Is doing exactly what they SHOULDN'T be doing! When you don't allow any logging of the older dead trees (and there's a LOT of them for many reasons) you supply massive amounts of fuel for a fire. Even if they would go in to clean the forest floor a little, it would help. Instead California bans any type of management, almost BEGGING for massive fires! Let this sink in..... California is the ONLY state where insurance companies are canceling fire insurance for homeowners! And there are MANY STATES that have the same amount (or more) of forest acreage and dry heat! This can be laid SQUARELY at the foot of liberalism! 'In short? Gavin Newsom.

    The end result of human interference with the ways of mother nature. Thank you Smokey the Bear...
  • There is a ocean not too far away. Build pipelines for the water to be close and constant it has to be more costly to keep the way it's been
