Yes, nothing to be smiling about you asshole.
The air quality throughout all of SoCal has been terrible. Theres been a lingering shroud of ash and smoke covering the sky as well. Contrary to popular belief, not all the houses that have been burned down are multi-millionaire dollar homes. I was watching the news this morning and I saw about 1/3 of a entire mobile home park got wiped out.

Southern California has been fighting fires for what? 50+ years? And they still can't do shit to prevent fires from spreading. I mean fire season is usually only two months long meaning that all the big fires in the past several years happen in October or November. There always seems to be a mad dash once these fires spring up and escalate to put them out. Why aren't planes patrolling southern california day in and day out 24hrs a day for these two months looking for fires? Why hasn't SoCal invested in twice as many fire fighting planes and helicopters so that they can just ambush these fires with water/phos check/whatever? Why hasn't SoCal poured millions of dollars into new fire fighting technology? The richest state in the world is way behind when it comes to fighting fires. Money? LOL! This state is a fucking joke! If the geography wasn't so beautiful I'd move.
Also why hasn't SoCal invested in desalination? Middle Eastern countries can do it but SoCal can't? Gimme a break! Everybody in this stupid area has been too busy making money in the last 5 years instead of trying to focus on the problems that plague this state. As usual.

So is California going to have to pay a 'carbon tax' on all that burning they have going on?
Seem all of those fires have put more CO2 into the atmosphere than all of the industry put together.
Why aren't they mobile? :[ would help in situations like this.
fire is still going on.

This is one of the points I make when debating about commercial clearcutting: The state allows thousands of acres of forest a year to burn down. So why is a bad thing when a logging company clearcuts a forest on government land? The state wont solve the problem and we wont run out of oxygen because of a lack of trees.
