I was looking at a India news and translated some comments to English and some people seem to think this fire is Allahs punishment for Palestine😮
I was an Arizona State Parks ranger for 15 years and sadly, have seen my fair share of fires. Born in California, Ive mountain biked since before they were called mountain bikes. Since I havent owned a car for years & years & years and have to ride through ALL weather conditions day after day, I can finally say at age 65 and having been a member of most American political parties, WITH AUTHORITY: 1) US - It is not the politicians. ITS US! WE are the ones who cant relax our grip on a convenient lifestyle, NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE COST, and well vote for ANYONE who tells us theyll fix it. 2) PHYSICS - Until youve attempted to extinguish a wildfire yourself, or tried administering a controlled burn, you do not even possess a FAINT notion of the power of high winds.... or ANY wind. Add to that the sheer PHYSICS of trying to move that much water uphill during multiple simultaneous catastrophic events which require shutting off power to pumps even as water lines are being severed in the destruction and, well if that needs explanation, youre just exposing your own stupidity. sorry. 3) GETTING HOTTER - I dont really care who you vote for or actually, ANYTHING about you. I keep to myself. Im that old guy youve seen riding a mountain bike down the street since you were a kid. Call it climate change, or a hoax, or whatever you want... dont matter - ITS GETTING HOTTER. In my racing days, training for the Leadville 100 & the Pikes Peak hillclimb, I can remember the thermometer hitting 97 degrees! It was Denvers hottest day in 1997 and it made the news! Last year here in Denver, CO, we had SIX DAYS that were 100° or hotter. ITS GETTING HOTTER. JUST THIS ONCE, YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO WHAT THE CRAZY OLD MAN DOWN THE STREET KEEPS SAYIN... CRIPES! ITS GETTIN HOTTER!!
