Governors: Deflecting blame with climate change talk

All three West Coast governors are campaigning daily in the press, blaming climate change, their false religion, for West Coast fires.

All three states do not properly manage their land and forests and do not properly undercut growth due to the anthropomorphization of nature.

This negligence creates a pileup of kindling, ready to start massive fires, which it has done.

When they blame climate change, they blame you. It is the people who must change, they declare.

Governors Gavin Newsom, Kate Brown and Jay Inslee and their kindred legislators in California, Oregon and Washington are not following proper forestry science or climate science. They are creating false doctrines for political gain.
